finally i got mine...

my first impression is that my head is a bit loose? should the ball pop in the hole in the neck or does it stay that loose? it's like just putting the head above the neck ant that's it. It comes soooooo easy from the neck

Question about the Endo arm, can the thumb rotate at the base where its connected to the hand?

No. And I understand why you want it to. The angle its at now is a bit unnatural compared to a real human thumb.

It does pop off the neck really easily. It's not like it will fall off if you lift the figure upside down or anything, though

I've found that it's best to put the figures arms right by his side before you attempt to pose them. Especially when putting them behind his back when taking the jacket off or putting them pointing to the sky when changing his shirt.

then my head is strange. my head isn't popping in the neck. it just 'lays' above the neck. and pressing it more down, I'm afraid of damaging the neck in any way :/

That was quick??!??! It's not from HT is it?

No, Alter Ego. They were very quick in taking care of my return.

Upload some pictures of what you mean thrust, i'm sure me and others will be glad to help.

Just to note when I put the head on I don't hear a click or anything, but I kind of know it's on, if that makes sense.

So is it completely loose then? Will it just fall off if you wobble it?

There's a neck connector inside the rubber neck, maybe that isn't aligned properly, i've seen some one else have that problem earlier in the thread.

 

[Thrustmaster]

thanks mate. yes when i lay the figure down, the head just rolls away. it isn't connected to the neck.

here are pics of the neck

 

[Platty]

Ok, this is going to sound daft but was there no connector/ball joint in there or have you took it out?

the first thing I've done is just taking the head from the neck to change the shirt. it comes very easy out of the neck. there is the ball in the head and the neck looked just like that like i've posted in the pics. so is there missing something?

this is a pic of the head and neck:

On mine, the ball connector stays in the neck when you pull the head out, rather than remaining in the head. That's the only thing that's different to mine, going off the pics. So maybe the ball joint isn't getting fully into the neck hence why it falls off easy?

mh strange ^^ I'll try to take the ball joint from the head and put it first on his neck and will put then the head into the ball joint.

thanks mate for your help. I really appreciate it

 

[Platty]

No problemo

 

[Thrustmaster]

alright that worked now the head is connected to the neck again. thanks for the help

 

[Skiman]

Yea that lil center piece that's inside the neck has to be vertically aligned in order for the socket to work.

 

[Platty]

Glad it worked!

Congrats on getting him, so did you end up having problems with import fees?
My tracking still doesn't show anything...

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I found it much easier to connect the joint to the neck and then the head. With the joint still in the head the tendency was for the neck to shift and not pop into place.

had to pay 8 euros. i thought the limit would be 45€ but they told me that the limit would be 22€ so i need to pay just the taxes.

I keep crossing the fingers for you that he will arrive soon. I'm sure it's in the customs too. I've waited until today like about 4 weeks for some Denzel Washington heads from sunohc and they showed up today and I have to pay the import fees for it. But I really thought first that they are lost anywhere. It sucks that we don't get any informations when the customs is holding the packages for investigations. So maybe you will get the next days a letter from DHL with the info that you can take your package from your custom-office in your area ^^ I got this letter today, so yours can't be far away.

What did you use to remove the red paint ?

Added to, I used the Tamiya weathering kit that has the silver palette.

Tamiya Weathering Pastel - Rust/Gun metal & silver # 87085

Got him a few days ago but finally had chance to open him up. Liked him so much I had to order another for custom fodder. Shot of him just out of the box.
