POC Snake-Eyes visor: Does it move?

Hi. I bought a POC Snake-Eyes and I noticed the eyes and the area around them have been painted. They're all like this. However, the visor on mine is glued in place. I've noticed lately that more of the ones I see on the store shelves have the visor raised a bit or lowered a bit. Did Hasbro make a change and make the visor movable? It seems stupid that they put a paint app on the figure that can't really be fully appreciated. I tried to put my Snake-Eyes' head in boiling water to see if I could loosen the glue and pull the visor's plugs out but it seemed like all I would do was damage the figure. Any ideas?

Hmm, my desert SE visor would move up and down to a degree. I think if i did it alot it would cause wear on the plastic near where it's glued to his head though. YMMV

My desert POC SE's visor moves easily. It was designed to move so you can see his eyes.

Mine also did, but seemed to be clued on...if I move it too much, it looks like it would tear...

Mine moves. I wouldn't movie it too far though, out of fear that the pegs might shred off.

Mine moved a little up and down. Then my son moved it too much and it broke off. Have held off on replacing it. Ok figure but maybe not good enough to buy again. Don't move it to much because it will brake.

Yeah, I think that a few of the RoC Snake-eyes would do this too. In fact I've seen a few newer figures recently where the visors misplaced in package.

I noticed the same D shape. I pulled it off accidentally and noticed it before I tore up my SE head.
