So, I finally got a call from Entertainment Earth to pick up my pre orders this morning. I opened up Cobra Commander first because he is just so awesome and one of my top three in this assortment. After checking the figure out, I noticed the head wouldn't move. Right when I turned it to the left this happened.

That sucks BIGTIME!!!
In any case sorry to hear about your bad luck, but on the bright side I like how you posed him holding his helmet. I think I'm going to "steal", I mean "borrow", that idea whenever I get around to purchasing this figure myself.

Yeah just wait 6 more months and you'll have a new CC.

Yeah, he's literally holding his head. The hood is just sitting on his shoulder, breath wrong it it falls right off.

same exact thing happened to me with the best of 80's dvd set cobra commander. I was paranoid to even try to turn ultimate CC's head, tried very lightly and it wouldn't move so I ran it under hot water for about 8 to 10 minutes and it finally loosened up. Something about the plastic they use for the chrome heads, they need to put a spot of that special plastic grease on the neck joint.

Bummer. I would have freaked. It's a good idea to warm any stuck joints with a hair drier, or hot water before you try and force them. Thanks for sharing this. I know to watch out when mine arrives.
