Snake Eyes w/Timber head question

Postby kawboy » Fri Jan 09, 2009 9:04 am

I have SE w/Timber and w/o the hood on it looks like SE is always looking down. Is this the same w/all of them and is there a way to fix it? If there has been another post on this I apoligize. I have not popped the head off to see if there are any issues w/ the neck or head, thought I would post the question first. Thanks for any help.

Well, I'm sure more folks will give you a better answer, but from what I've seen, they all look down like that. They all looked like that in package. I never got him, but I did get the samurai armor version, which uses the same mold, and he looks down too. Never found a way to fix it.
OMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

Yeah, that was a production error.

They all do that.


To fix you have to trim the back of the neck on the head.
I have NOT done it so I cant say how much.
BUt pop the head out then while its soft from the heat trim it off a bit with either manicure scissors or a hobby knife.
You may need to experiment how much at first by doing it little by little rather than cut a huge chunk at first.

I have a ninja armour Snake Eyes that isn't limited to looking down, but he's the only one of my maybe ten SEs able to look up.

It's definitely the head, 'cause I popped a Storm Shadow head onto Samurai SE's body to make my custom Shredder, and while its motion isn't great, he can look up to some degree.
