    how tough was the installation on a scale from 1-10?

    I wasn't a big fan of the toon look but once I got this guy home and on the shelf he's a real show-stopper, I love this thing.

    No different than changing out the heads.

    1....if you swapped the original head for the v2 head, swapping the neck out is the next step. It’s held by a single screw... 1 to 2 minutes tops :)

    A negative 2. Unscrew, replace neck, re screw. Assemble head as normal.

    If it was a "negative" and so easy, you wouldn't have to replace it in the first place.

    After mucking around with the timeline so much, this is how Skynet starts now. Toy collectors get so lazy that manufacturers start designing toys that can replace themselves. And then they learn to replace us.

    Well that's a bummer. Just got this guy yesterday, transformed him once, and when I just went back to robot mode I discovered that I had his antenna rotated incorrectly. They were folded over, and I was able to get them mostly straightened, but not perfectly, and they have little stress marks now.
    But man, he is fantastic otherwise! Looks absolutely perfect on my shelf. And even though he's probably the hardest to transform in my collection, it's so rewarding because he looks so good in both modes.
