Movie Swindle neck mod

The pic pretty much speaks for itself:



This allows his head to move forward and turn, and it helps to make it look like an actual head (like on the back of the package). It looks like it was intended to do this, but they filled it in. I have no idea why they would do that.

You don't have to take him apart at all, other then popping his head off. Just pull, it comes right off. I used an X-acto knife and carefully carved out a slot in the red plastic so the gray post could flip forward. The post is designed to move like this, but the movement is blocked and unused.

I also carved a slight curve into the ridge right above the decepticon symbol to fit the bottom of his round head. It helps a little, but it isn't necessary. It allows him to look a little more downwards.

sweet, I'll have to add that to the other mods I've been making to him.

After Preview Starscream and Prime Swindle is the first movie toy that I've bought.

So the head post can move back and forth? Can you post pics with the head installed?

Helpful info. Good show.

Here's a comparison shot from the side:



It gives him the ability to turn his head all the way to each side, as well as a little up/down movement.

I might have to pick one up now. Thanks for the tip.

That looks a lot better Mega.....If I would have seen this earlier, I would have bought him tonight....must go back to Target!

Well that seems simple enough. Would lengthening that head post prevent him from transforming back to his alt mode?

The top of his head is right where the bottom of the engine would be, so it might rub on the ground.

Now that I look at it again, it could probably be extended a couple millimeters without consequence.

Awesome, I was going to get Swindle anyway, but this mod makes him much better.
