So is the 2 pack actually available in their warehouse now and shipping out? I was told it wasn't friday. I guess I could give them a call and see. I want to pay my last flex early and get it on the way

 

[Daveh75]

My last flex in due next week. Been waiting so long. But now with Falcon out, I'm actually thinking of selling the Steve Rogers fig to help pay for him. Really only need the stealth suit fig anyway. Have to wait till it arrives to make up my mind though. Not gunna pass up Falcon, that's for sure.

Got it today but

Already broke the Rogers sculpt. Don't be stingy with your glue HT.

Edit: I don't remember this ever happening to one of my figures. It's the 1st time I remember using the 'tilt the head to the side before pulling' method, recommended in the user manual, to avoid such a break Maybe I should have ignored that & simply did what I usually do, & pull it off straight.

yikes

I think I can fix it

I don't want to glue it while still on the body. I might glue something I don't want to glue by accident. I think the tricky part might be getting the neck plug out, without damaging the collar, or squishing the neck plug.

The same thing happened to me. Scroll back a few pages and look for username's really informative post on gluing the head back on. I used pliers and gently pulled the rest of the neck to get mine out. Planning to glue my sculpt back tomorrow. It's not you; the head sculpts on both Cap and Steve are loose

Cheers. I'll scroll back.

I think HT knew this, & that's why they have those random 'tilt head' instructions. I was looking for glue residue, & I couldn't even really see anything. HT was stingy with their glue on this one .....

Edit: Ok. Found it. I don't think I need to do all that, since I think I'll always have the Rogers sculpt on. I think I'll simply get the neck plug out, glue the head on, pop it back on the figure, done. I think the only reason I took it off the 1st time (off of the stealth suit), was because I thought I might have bunched up the collar when putting it on.

Username is very thorough

They definitely did. I was super pissed when I tried to take off the Steve sculpt for it to come off. When you are spending the money you are you expect better QC. Anyhow I'm just glad I can fix it with a little glue and industry
