    Curiouser and curiouser.... There are definitely seams there, but those pieces are either glued down or I don't possess the fingernail strength to pry them away. I might try with a spludger or something like that and see if there's some give.

    Maybe it was a feature they abandoned for some reason? Definitely wasn’t one I considered important. But I look forward to getting mine to see if it’s the same. Heck I just want it get here to complete my main headmasters. :)

    This post, way back on page 3:
    They showed two separate chest plates, but I don't recall them ever explaining why there were two variations.

    Ohhhh. I forgot about that.

    Well... The chest piece is lightly glued on. Mine is no longer glued on.

    Weird. I wonder why they scrapped the gimmick. Not that I understood it in the first place..

    Like @Autobrat Leader said, the pieces are glued on but come off easy enough.

    It's good to have options :)

    It's honestly the first thing I noticed about him. The metallics are really nice and crisp. It might be his best feature.

    Fun little comparison to the G1 Headmaster. I do not have G1 Skullcruncher's body - I traded a color-changing Hot Wheel for the head with some kid in elementary school 30 years ago. Not sure who made out on that deal.

    I’m considering catching up on these with the box set. Does anyone have a pic next to Lord Zarak or Cerebros from the Titans please?
