I also replaced the rubber band with a spring. I believe there is a piece sticking upwards at the back of the lower jaw inside the head. I put a small hole at the top of that, & i believe ran the spring from the hole, to the other place the rubber band connects. & i also drilled into the hole at the bottom of the ball on the neck & threaded a screw in to hold it together instead of re-gluing it, in case i needed to get in the head again,plus it kept the lower ball tighter to the neck. Plus i put tape around the head post for good measure. used it for years after with no prob. That was a great figure for a toy! Good luck. Bill SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
