Fixing Universe Tankor's Head

Superquad7 · 05-20-2009, 11:25 PM

Upon close inspection of the Univese 2.0 Tankor toy, one will find that it’s head is on a ball joint. The figure as-is out of the package exhibits very limited head movement, but this tutorial will help fix this. Read on!

The first step is to disassemble and remove the head. In order to do this, three screws must be taken out of the body. Refer to the photos for those. (Note that prime13 removed the arms simply to illustrate this tutorial better in his photos. They are on ball joints, so if you need to pop 'em off, you can pop 'em right back on if you need to.)

Once this is done, some trimming to the bottom of the back piece is needed. This can easily be done with a pair of small wire cutters. After the trimming is finished, simply reassemble the figure. Viola! Now your Universe 2.0 Tankor can move his head!
