    I just screwed mine deeper. It was blocking the tabs in.

    I picked up a 2nd crash hog just for fun. I figure why not he's a great fun figure and for a character who lives in a garbage world, Im not worried about the paint...

    I just turned this guy's head slightly after having it on display for months and this happened. I totally forgot where I purchased this.

    @ibot Would I be able to purchase a replacement face somewhere? :(

    While I like the Junkions (who doesn't right?) The scale is just comical.

    I'm wondering why Hasbro didn't make the Junkions regular bike sized, so they'd be more in scale with the likes of Hot Rod, Kup, Arcee Ultra Magnus etc....I like the idea of having them be like a swarm of bees that they had to fight off. I think that would've worked just as nicely in the 86 movie.

    If you think about it, their scale is perfect. Their not “robots in disguise” with earth mode vehicle alt modes. So it makes perfect sense their motorcycle mode would be the perfect size so they could drive one another.

    They're not supposed to scale with Terran vehicles. Their alt modes are intended to be ridden by giant robots.

    I've seen a couple of reports of this. Make me scared to ever touch my Wreck-Gar again.

    I feel sorry for JPrime but this is the first time I've seen this happen. Except for the stupid fingers Crash Hog still is an excellent and sturdy figure.

    You can make a replacement. This works for lots of modelling parts and features.

    Using a hot melt glue gun you can make the part on a flat surface by simply extruding the shape you want. Once dry you can add some adjustments / form using a hair dryer or heat gun to soften and angle.

    Fully paintable with citatel /gamesworkshop /warhammer paints.

    Easiest to make 2 new parts so they match.

    Sorry to hear about this. I have to ask though, is this a case of dry rot? Did it crumble off? I'm always apprehensive about flexible rubbery pieces for that reason.

    It really feels like it crumbled off because I was literally moving the head and didn't even drop it or brush it against something. Even when I tried to glue it, it's like the piece kept crumbling when I tried to apply pressure during gluing.

    If I get a new face or figure, now I have to consider using mustache oil. o_O

    It's a huge dice roll as to whether or not @ibot will respond to your post with him tagged. You'll get a faster response emailing them directly at [email protected] or [email protected]

    You’ll definitely get a reply from XTB, but since it’s Lunar New Year it might take a while.

    NO! This is just wrong. You are wrong! First, THEY ARE robots in disguise, having taken their alt inspiration from TV.....I am not sure how you missed the FACT that the entire Junkion culture is based on Earthly broadcasting stations. That is the essence of a Junkion. Second, in the Movie, the Junkions in both alt mode and robot mode are about the same size or smaller than Arcee and Blurr in their alt modes with Springer being much larger than them in alt mode. However, in robot mode Wreck Gar is as big as Springer in robot mode.....which is clearly a contradiction. Bottom line is that their scale appears to be a PARADOX!
