[greygoose]

You're still talking about the figure, right?

Sorry to hear about this....kind of ironic though.

Haha, just read that back to myself.

Ironic you say?

I wasn't planning on pulling it off just yet. lol) It just fell off as soon as I tried to put his mask on so I decided to add the P1 accessories to it whilst he was headless.

Hairdryer on the neck or head, or both?

if the peg is in the head, i would heat the neck hole, if peg is still in the neck, i would heat the head hole.

Isnt the neck too wide already thats why the head comes off to easy?

I need to heat the neck hole then.

It's a tight squeeze to fit the ball into the neck slot.

Its always a tight fit with plastic figures. It look me forever to put legs on the NECA 18" Alien!

OK! Heres some pics!
New Classic as P1!

And my Classic Base and BD Bio goes to Berserker!

And my P1 gets displayed with his bio and in the process of "cloaking" :yess

Now the wait for P2 begins.

 

[greygoose]

Nice pics Rzeznikk. Did your head pop in OK? When I get home I plan to put Berserker on Classics stand, looks badass.

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Sick setup man. That's what I did with the classic base. I put the berserker on it.

Where did u get the blue lightning stuff for your cloaking P1? Looks awesome

Looks like Star Wars Unleashed lightening.

Thanks! My head will pop in, but if I move it, it wants to come off. As long as it stays on when not touched Im fine with it.

Thanks! The blue lightening came from a Star Wars Unleashed Emperor Palpatine. Its from his force lightening hands. I just cut them up and put them around the P1.

Same here.

^^ Is the reason for the popping heads not being able to fit the peg fully or staying loose?

 

[Rotfish]

It's a loose joint. It'll fit in just fine and you'll feel the snap you're supposed to feel (it can even be heard if you remove the peg from the head -- very difficult -- and put it in the neck by itself), but it just comes off for no reason.




greygoose, I think you're having the same problem as me. You think it's not going in completely, but I've actually gone through the process of inserting just the peg and I can assure you it went in all the way. Afterwards, I popped the head on (which is the tighter end, never had any problems with that socket), definitely heard the snapping sound of the peg making it into the socket, then the darn thing just came off again when I tried turning it. Just normal posing, not even tugging or trying to swish the head around to get it to loosen up. Merely turning it in a typical fashion can make it come off in your hands.

have you heard anything from sideshow, about your replacement?

Hmm, if you place some super glue on the peg, let it dry well, and then plug it again, it could help create friction. I've done that in loose joints in some figures and kits. But if I'm not mistaken this was reported about 2-3 times, right? At least it seems it's happening in only a few cases. I hope when I get mine it will be ok, but if it's not I'll probably try the super glue fix.

I have to say, though, that something like this on a high end figure is really disapointing... That's the kind of thing I would expect from a cheap KO...

 

[nekromantik]

I agree I dont expect this kinda defect on a $200+ figure.
I hope mine is fine too!
Blade was yours from China too? Maybe it might just be fault with the batch in China.
