I'm sure a third party will do a Zarak head that rotates.

Could't they have access to the old head mold? Or fabricate one using an old G1 Scorponok?

I thought the club said the neck does swivel, and it looks like piece is in two parts.

I read somewhere that Pete Sinclair confirmed that the neck sadly does not rotate.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Trikeboy wrote:megatronus wrote:Trikeboy wrote:SW's SilverHammer wrote:It doesn't seem as there's a neck joint.

Sadly, Botcon's too rich for my blood this year. To ease the pain, I had to break down and Ebay a Double Punch. He fills the gap...a little.
