I got my X-Men Vs. Sentinel #1 Exclusive...

[The ill Jedi]

...a couple of days ago and it's in great condition, all of the pegs line up, no chips in the paint, everything lights up...Except the Sentinel Head!

Now I've been reading a thread at Statue Forum where some board members there thought they had problems with theirs and it seems that most had some paint residue around the connector on Colossus' arm. Mine has the same thing on both the foot and arm connectors, at first none of the lights worked, but I removed the strips on the batteries and viola (minus the head)! Here is a suggestion that someone posted at SF about how to correct this and I hope if I do the same it will work.

SUCCESS! I plugged the adapter directly into the head and it lit up, so no problem there. But I did notice there was some residue (glue, resin or whatnot) all over the connecting plug on Colossus' hand so I took an X-Acto (how appropriate) and scraped of the gunk on the hand and on the foot for good measure. Fitted the head back on with a little more pressure, crossed my fingers and pressed the power button and it worked!

I thought the residue on the connectors might have been the problem, but I didn't bother trying to scrape it off when I unpacked it, I am going to try it tonight and hopefully it will work.

Has anyone else had this problem with theirs?

Man, this is sad. Hope that you get the head to work. Does it work when you plug the adapter straight into the head?

I didn't even think of that when I unpacked it, but I just read that in that post at SF and if I didn't I woulda had you to thank for the suggestion. I'm pretty confident that when I plug the adapter into the head and scrape off the excess residue from the connectors that everything will be fine.

Hopefully it will work! Keep us informed.

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully you're just a scrape from seeing the light! Got worried as I only tested mine briefly during the day in a parking lot. Had to put it together and try it out. I did notice there was no paint on my connectors. The fella I bought it from told me he had to return the colossus part for malfunction, but I'm not sure what it was. I'll bet the paint is your issue. Let us know when you have a chance to work on it!

Ditto. I hope you get it working, that's my favorite part of the exclusive. Good luck bro.
