I recently won a Titanium Cheetor off Ebay for a really cheap price (8 bucks MISB). I've been bulking up my Titanium collection, and I figured Cheetor would fit in perfectly with my display. However, here's the problem; I had already purchased Cheetor when the figure was released in stores along with The Fallen. When I bought him, though, I remember transforming him from Robot to Beast mode, but I couldn't get him back to Bot mod. The reason for this was because his Bot mode head had gotten stuck. I spent about 2 hours trying to get the damn head to fold out, but it was stuck within the figure's chest cavity. By the time I DID get the head out, I had accidentally broken the chest piece. I ended up returning the figure and I couldn't ever find it again...so I kind of considered the figure a lost cause.

Fast forward about two years (now) and I'm remembering how great the figure really was. Really solid and a well representation of a great BW/BM character. So yea, I won him in an auction Thursday and now I'm worrying about whether this new figure will have the same problem as my old one. Is this head getting stuck thing a common problem for this figure? Because I just got done watching a Youtube review of the figure and the exact same thing happened to the reviewer (only he managed to get the head out off camera without destroying the figure like I did). I ask because I REALLY don't want to transform the figure and them have him get stuck in Beast mode.

You returned a broken figure? Not cool dude. Not cool.

Sorry man, I didn't know returning a broken figure made me a bad person. I mean, I followed the simple as hell instructions on how to transform him and his head got stuck despite this fact. I didn't really do anything to screw up the transformation, so I figured there was a flaw in the figure. When you pay over 20 dollars for a figure that breaks on the first transformation despite following the directions, wouldn't you want your money back?
