    Just out of curiosity, what grail did you get?

    Mine does the same thing. I was considering taking it apart and putting some Krazy Glue on the rounded edge of the black bar behind the helmet. Since that is the hinge, I thought maybe it would tighten it up and thus hold the helmet down better. Though I think I like the stretched spring idea better. I'll have to try that instead.

    I just did that tonight. Four screws to get the helmet apart, a couple gentle tugs on the spring to make it a wee bit longer, problem solved and Star Saber's head now folds down and sits perfectly. :D  The only down side is that the face doesn't automatically fold up into the helmet as well in V Star mode, but I can live with that.

    HELP!!!

    So I almost brought 2 Mirage figures last night and they both turned out to be KO's. Is there any updated resources regarding KO releases compared to their vintage counterparts?

    It seems my current want list is full of figures that are KO'd :(

    ^ Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully I can get a decent-condition Greatshot for around 600.

    On a related note... I daresay... EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING.

    I love that repro. It's like an Encore, but miles better.
