Yup. As said, sand away a tiny bit at a time until it fits.

If you don't have a dremel get a metal file. Tape the bottom of the foot with masking tape if you want to keep it scratch free. File away at the side of the bricks.

Try putting it in toes first on an angle. Might just be the angle of the dangle.

Hope it works out for you. This is one of my favorite pieces.

I had this same problem I think it was one the Sideshow Black Widow PF (Iron Man 2). Check to make sure the problem is that the block kn the foot is too big and that there is no debris or other obstructions in the base socket. Sometimes an airbubble during cadting can create a little BB that may have to be ground out with a dremel.


If the problem is the block is too big, use masking taping to protect the bottom of the foot. Then use a file or sanding stick (like an emery board with heavier grit available at hobby shops). If the block on the of the foot has flat side, a file works best. But go slow, take a little material off and test fit on base and go back and forth until you get the shale right. You do not want to take off too much. If the original color of the block was black and you don’t have flat black paint, you can use a sharpie or other permanent marker although using ink it will have a litttle gloss. Paint pens are available.

The reason I suggest widening the hole VS narrowing the block...is I would have a fear of making the wall of the material around the peg in the foot too thin.

This is also coming from not knowing the piece.
