Samurai Prowl without a helmet?
I have a Misb samurai prowl, from what I can tell there is no helmet in the side car. There is just an empty ball joint.
Now my questions are.
-Is the helmet located somewhere else?
-Should I keep this figure misb and just buy another one?
-Is there a collectors market for pakaging errors?

Helmet is in the sidecar hidden under the front section. If you only see a naked balljoint, you're out of luck... can't you return it? I don't see how an incomplete toy would be valuable.

Re: Samurai Prowl without a helmet?
I'd say 99% of the time, toys with missing parts, wrong parts, and packaging errors are worth the same or less than a toy with no errors. Toyfare Magazine seems to confirm this on a regular basis. Captain Atom with backwards hands, and Captain Picard with Data's head come to mind. However, if I came across a "Picata" (as I like to call him), I would keep it anyway. In the case of your Prowl however, I think I would return it.

Re: Samurai Prowl without a helmet?
Would you keep a toy with a one of kind error like a paint figure print? or crooked faction symbols? or a what if you bought Premium TFTM Prime and he had the normal head or was missing the PoPout sword?

My only concern is if I return it, they will just put it back on the shelf and some poor kid will get an incomplete prowl.

If you don't mind going through the trouble you can ship it back to Hasbro to have it replaced.

Re: Samurai Prowl without a helmet?
The paint error would need to be visually interesting for me to keep it... I once got an FAB Barricade and he was missing a paint app on one leg... not good. But if both legs had been unpainted, maybe I would have kept it. An unpainted head could be cool too. But I don't think it would be very valuable.
