I opened mine today and the head fell off the body.
I tried the normal screw drivers I use for joes, but I can't unscrew the back screw.
Anybody have leg screws in there shiver figure?

This would be why the head slid out of his slot.
As for the legs - same thing, the screws wouldn't keep it 'tight', so some Krazy Glue was used on the torso and legs.
If I didn't do that - there wouldn't of been any figures at all.
If all goes well, next years figure will be top-notch, with no glue. ;-)
Richard, try using a smaller size screwdriver. It shoud help.
Sadly you may have to do a 'drop' of glue in the shoulder and 'sqeeze' him shit for a few seconds.
There should be a total of about 3 or 4 that are like yours Rich. Not everyone opens them up, and since it was all done randomly, I had no knowledge of who got a 'mint' one.
Actually, I can confirm that Loop got a mint one - he did the art, it deserves some special attention no? ;-)

If you need somebody to assist you for next year, LMK. It felt weird this year about not having anything to do with the figure. Then again, I didn't expect work to suck the life out of me.

I'm thankful I have a Canuck Meet figure of my own though, being able to get a Shiver toy was quite an accomplishment for me. SWEET figure.
I'll be reviewing it for another site, anyone care to read it here too? (Mine has NO problems at all, it's sturdy)

As for faults with my figure, yeah my figures body is totally flush and the white areas on his legs have a bit of rit dye transferred on them but that's no big deal. I've had that happen to me with using rit dye as well in the past where I thought I had cleaned it well enough after dying it but sometimes that stuff still transfers. Besides, if the pants were stark white then it wouldn't look realistic. It's not like Shiver is dressed for Sunday tea.
