Even if Grimlock is irreparable, you're better off trying to return it than to blow it up or melt it. :lol:

Not only is this such an odd error, it's even more odd that Grimlock's head isn't meant to be able to spin 360 degrees. Whose brilliant idea was that?

I finally found my Grmilcok, and Mine spins 360 degrees. Fold down the shoulder flaps, and the back piece so its out of the way.

Then grab the head, and rotate it, you should feel a bump, but it should just pass it and rotate freely. You have to do it somewhat hard, it won't break.

See, I thought of that, and then I'd be able to get Cliffjumper, but I can't for one reason: my dad.

My dad is nearly sixty years old and extremely old fashioned. He detests my collecting of toys, and always teases me telling me to stop buying dolls and start having sex. Nevermind that I'm 13 years old.

Plus, the TRU that I got it in is a long drive from here, so I don't want him to be yelling at me about buying dolls or whatever for thirty minutes on the way to Port Richey. Especially with his heavy Greek accent and constant profane mumbling in a language I don't understand.

It's immovable. I'll need to buy a new screwdriver and take apart the whole torso in the vein hope that this is fixable.

Did you do that?

Maybe rotating it the other way? I mean there is a small tab there, but it should just go over it.

As I said earlier, immovable beyond those hinges. Maybe I can get my grandma to return it to me, she works in a mall right next to TRU.

That doesn't make any sense. If every other persons head can spin 360 and yours can't, you're either A: mis transforming him or B: There is an actual mold defect.

I'd say a slight mold defect. I transformed it correctly.

curious. my GLock also has the same defect. i can't move it 360 degrees, the back of the head directly below the light piping and screw hits the hinge housing of the shoulder flap.

maybe dispensor and i got hold of a first mold or a second mold version of Glock, either way.

hmmm. just a curious question that might confirm my theory:
Dispensor, can you still remember the card back of your Grim? does it have any kind of error in any of the chase toys displayed in the back?

because before i threw mine away (CURSES for my IDIOCY, shoulda kept it!), i remember it had some kind of error or something, like i think jetfire (or whoever it was) was printed a decepticon.

maybe we had the same batch, or it could be just coincidence.
all the comments above are the HUMBLE OPINIONS of the said user only. 'nuff sed.

Mine's card didn't have any errors. However, I did fix the toy. It was very simple, really. I used an adjustable-end wrench to turn the head around. Pliers would work too, I suppose.
