Trying to put the heads on reminds me of getting Metalhead for the TMNT line, he came with a propeller blade you were supposed to be able to change one of his hands with and it was such a pain in the ass I had to have my Dad do it. You'd think since it was a kids toy, they would have done something to make it easier. Even if it was a inner rubber ring that held them in place or something.
