How did you do to lengthen Zack's neck ?I'm interested

I bought a neck extender peg from "Head without Neck Studio" and it's a perfect fit.

Well said, and similar to the message and advice you gave me when I first messaged you about my Ryu's cracked shoulder a few months ago, because I had it happen first before silverfox, but fortunately, my Ryu was not as bad. Still sucks to have it happen, and after months of emailing, they're sending me a replacement, but they said it can't be the original body, but it'll be the newer Battle Ryu body. At least now thanks to your advice, I know how to preserve this new body a bit better!

I wonder if the newer bodies will update the materials to prevent this kind of cracking. They originally advertised the ability of these bodies to withstand extreme posing for long periods of time. If they crack like this from even the slight out of cast pose people are mistaking for "museum" pose, that makes these figures almost dead on arrival. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if these bodies were part of their regular line up of bodies, but their uniqueness is a negative because you have nothing to replace them with once they rip. Clothed Ryu is somewhat fine, but shirtless is basically impossible to hide the rips.

Anyone have a direct line to Iconiq to see if they've addressed these issues, or if these are even issues on a mass scale? I really wonder if they are unique to certain geographical locations due to humidity, heat etc.
 
Hmm not sure if that studio for the neck joint is still active.... tried messaging them got nothing.
I had to try to get in touch with them for quite a while. I don't think their very active online. But I did manage to buy a set from them in the last few months.
 
I have a few Zack's and getting the plug out of the neck was a pain in the ass. I opted for this method on the others, was posted a while back (apologies to the OP as I can't remember the post) but this was far better and much easier, think the ball was 9mm. Much appreciated for the tip 🙏

I can't pull out the original peg, in order to replace with the metal one, how did you pull it out?
