    Oh is that the secret? I broke one of the head pegs (stuck in the leg) and thought it was just me. Maybe I'll get another one.

    Yup! Snapping those pegs is a super common problem with the mold. Pretty much every copy has the issue, as far as I know. The pegs are just too tight there. But if you sand them down till they're just snug but not stuck, it solves the issue.

    Hopefully it's a problem that gets corrected with any future versions of the mold. But at least it's easy to fix.

    The same thing happened the one I bought my son. Peg snapped the first time it was pegged in. There should be a disclaimer to any deal post that involve Grapples that it needs to be sanded down.

    I think you just answered the original question. Even if it's an easy fix, if you didn't know about Grapple problem then you're gonna be pissed if you break that peg so I can understand that Grapple not be getting some love regardless of how fugly (or not) he is.

    Yup, that's true for sure. I was lucky enough to read about the issue before actually owning him, but if one wasn't, it would be an unpleasant discovery.
