Insom...Call sideshow they may have a head for you. I called not to long ago...(last month) I have a reg Cap who's wings had gotten damaged and asked if they had any parts to sell. They asked if it was an EX..because they would have replaced my head, as they have some laying around..

Also the Magnets $uck on SS pieces..My Wolvie EX is fine But EX head on Thing is Horrible, no pull at all...

Here is what I did on my Ex's..Go and Get Velcro tape..hot glue gun around outer part of magnets..(wait for it to dry) Then a piece of Velcro tape around both magnets (A pain but worth it) and Bam..they don't fall and still have pull of magnet..Plus velcro so you can still change heads

Ouch! Sorry to hear that Insom...
I have the same problem with my Magneto Comiqutte EX... On my "Day-Off from work Dusting Day" I was dusting Magneto, removed his head and the magnet was stuck on to the base of the neck!
I used brush on crazy glue to place it back...let it sit and dry a day...placed another coat. Had no problem since.

That Sux, good luck on a replacement from SS.

I hope they come through for you.

The head was correctly attached. The problem was the glue holding the magnet to the body failed. The 2 magnets were strongly stuck together. In fact it took a lot of effort to pry them appart.

I think the new removable heads don't have the same problem. They all have a peg that fits into the statue.
