Every time I try to make my Raph flip, his feet slid out from under him and he falls backward. Has anybody done this successfully?

Dude, just keep trying. If you still cant get it, write a letter to the company. Maybe if yours is defective they will send you a new one.

Because it's Raph. He's always been a little unbalanced. :P

My friends has one fo these too, and I haven't been able to get him to land squarely either. She also has a Leo one, and being the Leo fan that she is, she brags about how he ALWAYS lands square on his feet. But the real reason why Leo can, is because of his sword sticking out in the back, giving him more stability. :roll:

well age plays a factor in their ablity to do a flip now, as for the past, each figure had weight distribution to allow for a proper flip and landing. If it were to be made wrong, the flip would be harder to complete. I doubt that playmates would do anything about this now, as they are older figures and out of production.
