Xiao official figure help assembling
So I recently got my hands on the official Xiao figure but I'm having trouble ensambling it. It's my first figure and I'm not really good at this stuff and I'm afraid to damage it, and I figured this sub has people who have the figure for sure.
For those who bought the Xiao official figure back in the day, do you have any tips on how to pass the spear through his hand? I know the head of the spear detaches and you have to pass first the detached part and then you can attach the head but even tho I push it doesn't go through the hand. I saw some videos and in one they easily achieved it and in the other they had to push with a bit more force but did it but I can't manage to do it myself. Is the "round" part facing the fingers or the palm? Is there any tip for the angle? I know it's made to be achievable but I constantly feel like if I force it more I'll mess up and have the irrational thought maybe there's some problem with mine that makes it not fit. The first part (the one that later attaches to the head) passes but then the rest of the spear does not pass through, I can't really make a good photo of it but the spear itself clashes with the hand/the hand is not open enough to easily make it pass. Should I just insist/push harder?
Thank you!
