Wave 2 Deluxe Highbrow loose head?

[GotBot]

Turn the titan master's head 90 degrees and put it in the slot. It isn't a dud you have, just an issue with the mold in general. I wish I'd known that trick when I bloody reviewed him. Learned it by accident after,lol. As well, pledge is better than nail polish, safer for plastic too. If you wanna know exactly what label to look for here in Canada, because you won't see the word future on it anymore then I showed what it looks like in episode 72. Same one where I show the aoe optimus faceplate. I digress. Yeah, 90 degrees and that should solve your problem. Exchanging it is likely a waste of time and energy that will only result in the same issue. Good luck.

Had the same problem with mine. A little Pledge Future Floor Polish and it works fine now. Also worked great on Skullcrunchers wobbles. Pretty cheap too at Walmart. http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/pledge-w.../6000016951678

Ya the 90 degrees of the titan head works. No floppiness when posing.

I got my Ultra Magnus completely free because a friend complained about some smaller figure having the wheels on backwards or something.

What do you mean why's that a big deal? It's not a big deal since it's a cheap toy but that would be like saying "Oh my Kia's front bumper is loose, no big deal, i'll super glue it and it's a cheap car... " Others have the same issue so it's a problem that needs addressing. I'm happy for the replies and ideas.

So you just take a little drop in the socket and it solidifies to make up for the extra space in the back of the socket?

Suffers the same problem as American Scourge. Takara fixed it on their Scourge so I'm going to buy the Japanese Highbrow also.

A ghetto fix for loose Highbrow head - stick the head in sideways. Not backwards, sideways. If the ball joint itself is kind of loose, taka apart - put a drop of superglue around the ball and allow to dry before reinstalling.

Agreed, it made my Skull cruncher wayyy better. And JonoPrime is a true scholar and a gentleman, that's the link for anyone not in the know and that floor polish is like magic...most times,lol.

I'm not confident enough to modify my toys, lol. Floppy heads gonna flop. But when the headmaster joint is too tight, I plug the head in backward. It holds well enough, doesn't affect any mask/helmet gimmicks, and gives me peace of mind that I won't snap the TM's tiny head off when I unplug it.

Yup, pretty much! It has the consistency of water, so I use either a toothpick or Q-tip to get a little bit of polish on the end. And then I carefully work it into the joint or whichever area is needed. It may take a few "dabs" to get it just right and leave it for an hour or so once done (some may check it sooner, but that's what works for me.

Keep in mind it will want to spread around once gravity takes over, lol. So best bet is to leave it on its side, that way the polish won't run down the body itself.

Thank you, sir! Too kind ... And yes, MOST of the time it works like magic, lol.

Expensive? You can easily get that stuff at Dollarama.

Really? I have never seen actual pledge at Dollarama. Bare in mind, other floor polish, let's call it ko floor polish doesn't work the same. I've tried,lol. Skimping out didn't work for me.
