    Soldier Ape head difference???

    Has this difference ever been documented?

    The head on the left is noticeably "fatter". They both come from T2 soldier apes.

    I recently acquired a couple T2 soldier apes. Neither had all their accessories but the heads and bodies were good. Both heads have the same copyright markings on the back. Is this another soldier ape variation or has anyone run across this before???

      Check all the hair lines to see if they are identical. If they are, it's probably just a molding error. And if it is, depending on if it was due to the way it was pulled from the mold, it could be common issue.

      I Know I have a Superman who has a crooked neck, so his head is always leaning to the right.

        I checked the hair lines and features and such. They seem to be identical to the regular head, just fatter. It could be just a production issue like you said. Anyone else come across this too?

          I would have to agree. That looks more like a manufacturing defect than an intentional change in head sculpts. Especially since the facial details appear to all line up.
