I found an Ebay seller that carries the neck. I saw the photos of his product and how they differed from the neck on my actual Classic. If I'm seeing it right, it appears that there is a ring of sorts that should be holding the head in place once the barbell is pushed in. Ahah! Mine doesn't have that.
I spent a few hours at the local craft store and Home Depot looking for something I could use to make a piece resembling the one in the pic.
After a few hours, I decided to just order a new neck (about $20). The craftier among you can probably come up with a fix -- but I opted to just order a new neck.
Of course, there's no way that I can tell if this will actually work or if what I'm seeing in the pic is what I'm hoping will "fix" it -- nor do I know what pulling the old neck out will entail, but it's a start. Any advice would be appreciated.
The distributor that I bought the Hot Toys Classic from won't assist, refers me to Hot Toys, who in turn, has not responded to my emails. Dead ends there. The thought of having to fix a $200+ Hot Toys "collectable" right out of the box is pitiful, but damn. They do make some killer figures.
