The ball joint there is shallow-socketed, so it can be a problem (some have reported an OK joint, others have the same problem you did.) How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end |

#5 | | Predacon Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 477 Location: Taiwan Collection Count: Not enough | My Swoop's head has the falling-off syndrome as well, but that's simply due to how tight the joint is and how shallow the socket is. If the socket had been just that little bit deeper, there wouldn't be a problem. The head thing is a common problem with Swoop though, just about everyone I've seen writing about one/reviewing has had that problem.
As for the foot thing, haven't had that problem with anyone but Starscream. His left foot's ball was too big for the socket, so it would keep popping right out, just from looking at it. I ended up having to spend the better part of an hour shaving down the ball to get it to stay put. I was thinking about taking it back, but the store I got it from is about a 30 minute drive away, and at the time, Animated was damn near impossible to find and that was the only Starscream they had. Plus, fixing it was no big deal, so I figured I'd just keep the guy. |

If so, I wasn't actually complaining about Swoop. The head thing doesn't bother me at all, it pops right back on just as easily as it pops off. And, unfortunately, not everyone has a dremel. |

News Credits: 2 | ^^This is my only real problem with Swoop as well. Yeah, the head pops off on mine, but only if I make him look up too high or when I'm attempting to extend his neck to the proper position for robot mode. |

Thanks to SmokescreenGT for the sig!
