    Absolutely. I also already bought the pincers in anticipation.

    I just changed out the neckpiece from TFSafari last night, and then realized there really wasn’t any difference. I was actually hoping he would get a tiny bit more head tilt. Even if the head doesn’t turn, which seems to be the only reason for this piece, you could just simply take it apart and sand it:/ They even say that not everyone will need it.

    Oh well.lol

    i was wondering about this kit. i am glad i didn't spend any coin on it. it doesn't sound like it was even worth it.

    that does suck all the way as i had hoped it gave scorps like crazy head articulation or whatever.

    Yeah, it’s supposed to be thinner, so that it turns more easily. But I don’t see the difference, and if you’re going so far as to remove 10 screws to take this thing apart, you can just sand it yourself!lol

    The final part is here, time to put it all together.

    The tiny prongs have an extremely high chance of snapping if you don't heat them up first. That warning is on ZX's webpage but not copied over to all the various sellers.

    Any 3d printed product that advises heat is not a good thing.

    Got my leg set the other day. Haven't had a chance to install it yet though. It's a lot more plastic than I was expecting

    Just installed my leg set. What a pain in the ass!!! Most of the screws stripped and has a really hard time holding together. After a lot of work I finally got everything tight. Not sure the end result was really worth it. With all the stripped screws this is definitely not reversible

    You need a toy screwdriver, which has a blunted tip. Regular #0 Philips have a sharp point, which will then act as a drill and ruin screwheads.

    One simple tool hack is to file or sand down the tip to remove the point. Not much needs to be removed either. I haven't stripped screw heads since.

    There was a tip in one of the threads about how to remove stripped screws. You place a rubber band on the screw hole before placing the screw driver tip. The rubber band then provides the needed friction to remove the screw.

    They’ve adjusted the color of the leg pieces.
