Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
The head on my Bauer figure is very wobbly. In fact, it will barely face straight forward, it wants to slip down. This was the biggest disappointment for me on thie figure as the sculpt and paint apps are amazing. Never had the time to contact the seller and see about replacing him, so lesson learned. And now I'm stuck with a wobbly-headed Bauer...

Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
Is there a way to tighten that head joint? The head on my Bauer figure isn't wobbly, but it isn't as tight as I'd like. I haven't tried removing the head.
The problem I have with the figure is the ankles. I dislike the ratcheted joints used on this body. I must assume they were implemented because of how heavy the body is due to the vinyl material used (instead of ABS plastic used on most other 1/6 figure bodies).
The problem with ratcheted joints is that there's a couple of angle degrees (a sort of dead zone) that the ankles won't hold, and it just happens to be the exact angle that I need the ankles to stay in order to have Jack stand properly. Simply put, ratcheted joints aren't good for precise joint movement.
joint issues aside, Jack might be my favorite figure in my collection at the moment.
And the season 7 clothes are awesome! Thanks to OneSixthBruce and Kunch. I almost want to buy another Bauer figure just so I could have him in clothes from a different season. But my wallet says no.

The only "problem" I have with mine is the left hip/leg. It doesnt seem to move as fluidly as the right does. No loose joints, no loose stand, no other problems. Except jack needs a belt and more weaponry for his man purse. Which are on the way courtesy of a 1/6 accessories dealer.

Just out of curiosity, I read that the Palmer figure was limited to 1500 pieces. Any truth to this, or just somebody trying to sell their stock faster by claiming limited availability?

Not really sure! At first, they said it would be limited to 1500, but then, that mantion was dropped from the description, so we have to assume they reconsidered. Besides, the COA doesn't include a release number, so...

I'd bet Corleone was choked with his cat's tail inside of 10-seconds from the time that picture was taken.

Awesome likeness no doubt, they captured his intense stare for sure

Since I got mine for the 4th of July weekend, it was pretty easy to make a custom backdrop/base.

Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
With a bit of modding it may be possible, Enterbay use a single plug like connection at the top of their necks so if you were able to mod the HT ball joint it could work. It is worth noting though that the Enterbay figures are tiny & you'd probably make him look like a "pinhead" if you transfered his bonce onto a larger body !

Just push the head into the neck peg and it will tighten. That's what I did with mine.

Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
Yeah, thats what I said in my Bean review, and it works for Bauer as well. Just pull the head off and pack a little Blu-Tack around the wobbly post, shouldn't really need to do it, but it's an easy fix.

Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
okay, my truetype question was answered, now for another one. Enterbay is releasing a new body soon (maybe they have already), I wonder if the new one will fix some of the issues this body seems to have??
What do you guys think??

Re: Enterbay to release Jack Bauer 24 figure
The 3.5 is (i believe) being used on EB's new Kato figure, according to the review on Michael Crawfords site it's almost identical to the BL3 exept for the ankles which are stronger/stiffer. This body doesn't have the same wrist articulation as the one Bauer uses, so he won't be able to hold his gun or torch - from what i can tell from pictures you won't any better off with one of these !
