You read that right. The ball on one of our most beloved figures, the Cobra BAT, suck!
Twice now while removing a BATs head the neck ball broke off INSIDE THE HEAD! Dammit man, this blows. I have managed to tenderly repair it by drilling a small hole in both pieces (remaining neck and the piece stuck un the head) and used a gun barrel as a peg to glue and insert into both pieces giving me a fragile yet functional joint but still... I am truly dissapointed in this figure now and it has been taken down a few pegs as a result. Anyone else experience this? Looks like BBTS will be getting some business from me. I'm too anal like that... The figure still looks good and works, yet I KNOW it's broken thus it's the redheaded stepchild of my collection.

I've had it happen to a chrome CC, an A.V.A.C., and a UBP Crimson H.I.S.S. Driver... It is a sad thing indeed...

you could go this route ...
one G.I.Joe Cobra BAT B.A.T loose - eBay (item 260383543818 end time Mar-28-09 20:49:38 PDT) ... if you felt like cracking the chest, it would be cheaper than buying a new one. BTW,I have nothing to do with this auction. |

No... I've never had this issue. In fact, the BATs are among the easiest figures to remove the head from. Just turn it 90 degrees from front and tilt backward.

Uh, i didn't pay attention, but you're right...
I'm taking a close look to a opened torso, and the neck has a flaw in construction that makes it fragile... Well, i should be more careful then. Thanks for the tip! |

You should have bought five of them for 14 bucks.

If they had their belts, I would have. I have another three coming to me in a trade here, so I'll be able to have my squad of BATs and use the others for parts.

Yeah, the missing belts do kinda kill the deal. But if you're having all these issues its something to consider in the future.
This guy must be further up the line than the guys selling complete figures. |
