Has anybody had trouble with there JBL figure. I took it out of the pack and it's like he has a bobble head. It just keeps falling down. It feels very loose like it could just fall off. Any way to fix this?

You could take the head off, then take some cotton and stuff it in the neck hole, then put the head back on. It may make the head sit too high but that would be my first idea for a fix

Not sure if this works with neck pegs but it does work with loose torsos and legs.
1) Boil some water
2) soak the head in the water for a few minutes
3) Remove the head from the neck peg
4) apply a small bit of super glue onto the neck peg
5) pop the head back on
6) continuously rotate the head until the glue dries
This should allow the super glue to fill a little bit more space inside the hole in the head essentially making the neck peg a little thicker and all in all making the head a snug fit. Don't forget to rotate the head or it will be glued in that position and you don't want that lol

Thanks to both of you. I used both ideas and I did my first head removal. I put the super glue in and move it around. And it didn't quite fix the problem. It's more like it's too big for the peg so the weight keeps moving it around. So I took toothpick and cut up a cotton ball. I just moved pieces of it around inside the head and it filled the space around it. It worked and now it has it's regular mobility because the cotton ball doesn't stop it from moving just holds it in place. It's not even noticeable.

Next time for a loose head instead of putting the cotton in the head when you remove the head stuff some cotton into the neck where the stem comes out and then put the head back on. This way you firm up the looseness but don't raise the height of the head. That is what I do for a loose head. I only put the cotton in the head to raise it.

I just stuffed some cotton around the neck. It really does work. I could have done that but it was good for me to learn how to take a head off a figure. |

I use the clear elastics that comes with figures sometimes and I wrap it around the neck peg. I find it works quite effectively. I will take pics tomorrow if anyone needs them.

I'm on the fence about getting him. Does he have the elite suited legs or are they the basic suited legs?

Guessing scale would be way off to headswap and use for Attitude Era Commissioner Regal.

I would like to see this, never thought of this method before. Hopefully you can see what I did. I took closer pics but my camera blows and they were too blurry. I just take the small clear elastics and wrap them around the peg as many times as possible. I did this with JBL, Andre and a couple of others.  |

I don't remember what legs he used? Maybe Ricardo? I can't remember. I think it is in the fix up thread somewhere. |

fyi, he has an ab crunch joint, which maybe all the suited male figures have, I just noticed Paul Heyman had it too.
