Now that I look at it again, it could probably be extended a couple millimeters without consequence.
1-2mm would do it. Would be nice for him to look like he does on the card

Did this mod a little while ago, btw, and he looks much better now. Strange he doesn't just come that way, though...

Started this as of my last post and I've been done for over 5 minutes. That was easy.

People keep showing the end result, and saying "cut this out", but no one's said how or with what.

Help?

Can you see the pic? If you can, and you pull Swindle's head off (it can pop right off), it should be obvious.

Use an X-acto knife, or other sharp cutting instrument. I guess I though that was obvious.

The plastic will cut easily if you have a sharp enough knife.

Thank you.

It wasn't obvious how it was done to me. I've never done subtle touch-ups to existing figures before...

Thanks for posting this mod! Just spent a few minutes carving it out, and it works pretty well! Nice to get some head-rotation ability into the figure.

I just noticed that this thread is mentioned over at TFans. I think that's the first time that I've done something that has been brought up elsewhere. I'm all famous 'n' shit!

Thanks Death333 for the mention!

I remember that feeling, when my Cyb Downshift head-mod was posted and linked to over at Allspark and then Transtopia... 'twas a pretty cool feelin'!
Radicons aren't limited to just Transformers. . . .
