The build quality, paint job and QC of this is exceptional. However, there've been reports of the neck ball joint on a few kits to be a little stiff and tight. If you find the neck ball joint to be very tight and cannot (1) turn or (2) move up or down, DO NOT force it. It can break! However, this can be fixed very easily. If you find you can turn the neck ball joint freely, then you can ignore this guide. Otherwise, please follow this simple little fix:

You should actually pull the head off first. (Do it gently.)


The problem is most probably due to the red ball joint being pushed in too deep during assembly in factory. The pulling out of the head alone would already help to pull the red ball joint back into its proper position. Now you can try using a little force gently bit by bit to move the end around (like a joystick) to loosen it up. This should solve the problem.
