Talk:5 mm post

Fact checking

Welp, this is shaping up to be a pretty massive article. It may need to be divided later on down the track. Right now what it needs is a little bit of fact checking. Anyone with the following toys, can you please check that they do in fact have 5mm pegs/ports:

• Ramhorn
• Slugfest and Overkill
• Beastbox and Squawktalk
• Pretender Beasts
• Pretender Vehicles
• The Mega Pretenders
• The Ultra Pretenders
• Punch/Counterpunch

Please use the original releases to check as reissues sometimes have distinctly different post sizes or tolerances which would make them invalid as tests -- we'll get to the reissues later as this article develops. Jhiaxus 04:44, 11 February 2010 (EST)

I can confirm that Punch/Counterpunch uses 5mm pegs. I don't have mine handy, but I know as a kid I used to give his guns to my Targetmasters, etc. -hx 10:05, 12 February 2010 (EST)

Just checked my original Ramhorn, and his post holes are slightly larger than 5mm. Specifically, Deluxe Classics Prime's rifle is loose in the hole, Deluxe Animated Battle Begins Prime's axe is tight. For comparison, my Voyager Classics Prime can hold that gun tightly, but must hold the axe by the posts near the head. Weren't all the holes on the cassettes slightly larger?

Found weapons (no figures) for Slugfest and Overkill, they fit loosely on Ramhorn. Their designs won't let them fit Voyager Classic Prime's fist, but they fit quite well in the hole that his wind vane/ion blaster attaches to on his back. Guess that makes them 5mm posts.

Yeah, not all 5mm posts are exactly equal.--Rosicrucian^Talk 12:00, 12 February 2010 (EST)

Just to report Overlord does not have 5MM fists. His fist holes/gun-peg are *much* larger. However he does have a set of holes in his upper arms (not screw holes as far as I can tell) that are 5mm. Checked Slugfest and Overkill too, they can fit PM Primes gun but it's a tad tight.
