Some Classified figures seem to have two neck connections, which I find a little strange.
You can see it most prominently on Destro. His head attaches to his neck in the usual spot (the peg), but then the neck is separately attached to the body (part of it is colored silver like his mask and the rest is his shirt/chest). But Baroness is the same way. Her head connects to the flesh colored part of her neck on a peg and then her neck connects to her body (the seam is in the black of her uniform). What's weird is that my two open Baronesses both have some problems where this neck connects to the body. One of them is tilted slightly to the right. And the other sticks out too far forward. Is there a way to fix this? Can you pop that neck out and put it back in so its straight? Has anyone tried this? I'm attaching a picture to show a little of what I mean.

One of my Cobra Troopers had this problem. I just popped it off, straightened it out and popped it back on. It fit better and looked more aesthetically pleasing after I did it.

I noticed that with my Baroness so I think I just spun the neck around until it lined up better,

Same here. That's what I had to do. Her neck was assembled backwards at the factory. It's harder to tell on the female figures.

Oh! It moves on its own then.
No one used hot water or anything?

The neck is a separate piece on all of the figures. You should be able to identify the front and back of the neck by the sculpting, so you just have to move it to the correct position if it wasnt assembled with the neck straight.

However, Hasbro is known for figures with stuck joints so if it is really tight, then use the heat method.

It needed some hot water, but it was backwards, as someone speculated above.
Thanks all!
