Hi!

due to nostalgia and shortpacked (DAMN YOU WILLIS!) i spontaneously bought Swerve ROTF and Arcee ROTF (and both came bundled with stealth bumblebee ROTF)
Well they are pretty cool (except Arcee who's really weird in "humanoid" form), but for some reason swerve's head is just sitting on that nub thing and falls off easily. i'm supposing that (like Arcee's head) it's not supposed to do that and should possibly be rotatable.

can i fix it somehow? should i just try glueing it on?
should i try returning it? (after all, i already ripped up the plastic holding both swerve and bumblebee, ripped those two packages open and played around with it a bit)

For ball-and-socket joints like that I've gotten the best results using super glue to build up the ball. Basically you want to put a thin layer of glue on the ball and let it dry thoroughly (15-30 minutes), then push his head back on. If it moves around fine and doesn't fall off, you're golden; if not, add a second layer. If you put too much on, use a nail file to sand a bit off and try to fit the head again.

I had this issue with my Swerve and tried the super glue and nail polish trick, but over time his head kept falling off and so i took him back and never saw him again in my area.

Am I disappointed alitte, do i care Nope

Oddly, I do not have any issues with my ROTF Swerve. Or Sideswipe, for that matter.

apparently what i had wasn't exactly super glue, and i got impatient. So now his head is stuck there, unmovable, but at least not popping off every time i move him.

anyway, it's cool, and now i feel like having more mh there was a scorponok i think also there, but dunno if i want a scorpion. also i really don't need ANOTHER stealth bumblebee.

I don't think it's super-common, my Swerve's head stays on fine.
