Never run into a Swoop with a bad foot before, but the head can be kind of a mixed bag. 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

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.

Be happy you have one that good. I've heard worse before. The head is a 70% fall off kinda thing. Get over it, or dremel it. Your choice.

Was that at me? 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.

Only problem I have with my Swoop is getting his wings to peg in in robot mode.

^^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.

All of the joints on my Swoop are nice and tight. Mine's a pain when it comes to transforming it though.

Thanks to SmokescreenGT for the sig!
