NOOOOO!!!
There is no need to superglue it!
It just needs to be popped into place.
I know youre scared of breaking it but I really wouldnt worry about breaking the neck peg. it really is VERY strong.
and im sure it could easily be replaced by getting one from hot toys or even ebay.
But if your still too scared, just leave it as it is.
dont super glue it.
just be careful how you display him. you dont want his head falling to the ground and damaging it. a display box would be a good idea.
i hope you can "fix" it the proper way.

i keep forgetting that this could also be the problem(maulfan pointed it out earlier)
so yeah, im not really sure quiggle.
youve either got he same kind of problem as crimsonbob and maulfan(loose fit)...or you simply arent applying enough pressure. :dunno

Are you on a phone whenever you type?
 
Congrats on the figure Quiggle. But damn your box got ____ed! Its lucky you don't seem to care about the packaging!

Hope you get that hand peg fixed.

I might just leave it then, see how it is on display first then if it starts falling on its own I will give your suggestion a try.

I was really anticipating switching the endo arm to see how it looks in person but now am afraid to do so on my own judgment seeing what happened with the pegs, what suggestions can I try that will make it smooth if possible thanks!

thanks a-dev I'm glad I can now feel the same excitement as you did yesterday hold the fort down over with the T-1000 thread until mine arrives!

yeah the box could have been better but the packaging shipping wasn't the best it was just wrapped in a couple of layers of kraft paper I got it from Singapore so it probably got a couple of bumps along the way with oversea shipping journey. I was hoping to keep the box for display but I will probably throw it out now.
 
The head on mine is loose, not falling off at the slightest touch loose, but it is really easy to take off. I thought it was like that for everyone. If I hold it upside down it doesn't fall off. Personally, mine has never once "snapped" onto the neck peg and it doesn't look like it should either! Maybe it should but it've always been fine with him the way he is. If I press it down any further it doesn't feel right so i've always left him like that.

A few people have had a problem with loose heads in the past but that was because the neck peg used to come out attached to the head as oppose to staying in the body but yours does stay in the body so i'm not really sure what's up with it.

Maybe it is right and you are worrying too much, lol. Hope you sort it though
 
thanks Platty yeah maybe it's just me because I'm so used to McFarlane and NECA figures having the heads snap tight on the joint that I'm not used to the difference on how Hot Toys figures are designed.

congrats Gipetto! you will certainly enjoy this and I hope the advice given by others here will help you not make some of the errors I did with mine.

No probs mate. I'll go tip mine upside down after and see if falls off just to be sure!
 
Wow where are all the oldtimers of this thread?
The head loose is a matter of not being able to pop it back in properly. I rememebr that it was resolved by removing the peg from the neck and inserting it into the head first and then the combo back into the neck for a good a secure fit. Can't remember who came up with that but seem to have worked for those that encountered this problem early on
 
WooHoo! Sideshow just activated my waitlist reservation! Arnie should be shipping out on Monday. I lucked out, I was just about to purchase him elsewhere for a bit more. Getting him at his original price is just awesome.

My question though, is whether or not he comes with the black t-shirt? I've looked through sideshows listing, and it's not mentioned. Was it just added to the accessories later, and not in the official write up? Just curious.

yes he does and if you decide to change it I strongly suggest you read back several posts on what's the best way to do so, very quick helpful and will save you a headache later! congrats on getting this!
 
My T2 Arnie was waiting for me when I got home :D pics later tonight. My only complaint is that the little studs on the lapels quickly fell off when I got him out of the box. I eventually found all of them luckily, but I was sad for a moment :lol but wow no ones pics I've seen capture all the detail of this guy. I was skeptical of the likeness only being at certain angles but wow does this look just like Arnie! Awesome job HT!!!
