    Thanks for all the info guys! Just scored a complete boxed 2nd run for 120 shipped. Maybe a little to high, but at least I know what I'm getting. Now to grab the rage kit.

    Also if anyone has the Excellent Toys Passion of Hercules heads for dirt cheap please let me know.

    On Facebook. I thought about offering the guy only $100, but I didn't want to be a dick.

    I too am having issues removing the rage kit. In fact I'm having issues putting him together to begin with.

    MrUniqZ did you use shock oil before attaching the kit? I love this set and don't want to break him.

    I think a part of the problem is I have a bunch of mold flashing in his ports. Before I start trimming things can anyone confirm if these are supposed to be there?

    I recently ordered the Perseus deco from TFSafari and only just found out about the issues of Hercules's mold today. Does anyone know if Perseus uses the repaired second run? Or will I have to find some of the old hip replacements? Should I cancel my order? It's probably still in China given the present situation.

    Hi, I've recently acquired a used copy of this set and unfortunately it appears that my Exgraver has two left hip parts. Does anyone happen to be in the opposite situation? I would gladly swap one with somebody.

    If memory serves, you should be fine. The Perseus deco was released after the 2nd version of Hercules I believe

    Same here. No matter how evolved third party combiners now are, my Hercules will always have a special place in my heart. He is my first, third party combiner. and I afforded him, with the final salary I got before I was laid off by my employer whom I refuse to be in cohorts with. They asked me to sign falsified documents to let illegals work at our battery factory. I refused as that is a criminal offence and I might go to jail for it. they threatened to fire me under the clause of insubordination. I counter threat them by saying I got everything on tape and if they dont pay me triple my salary, I'll turn them to the cops. they paid me in cash and I handed the tape to them. it was a mixtape, made during my college (00-04) years. Have fun listening to Gin Blossom bitches.

    So I recently got my first 3 parts of TFC toys Hercules, and aside from the heels in Dr crank and exgraver, I really enjoy them, but I do have one thing that’s confusing me, what are the little grey bits that come with exgraver for? F672112B-E366-4D3A-9866-BDA4D998C90F.jpeg

    These are to cover up screw holes. Sometimes they will have a little slant on the flat end so you can orient them accordingly.
