I agree, you should at least ask for a replacement. There seem to be signs of plastic fatigue on that last picture. I wonder if some colours are weaker?
I'm still waiting for mine, I hope I won't be disappointed!

I received mine as well (via the links I posted in this topic). The delivery was supposed to be in 3 weeks, but I received mine after 1 week already! So far it works great, but I still have to test it on klickies with coats.



UPDATE: doesn't work for klickies with coats.

Looks a fragile gadget to me. Home-made 3D-printed plastic with a non-industrial printer?

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Ah! I never thought of that. I wonder if there is any way of reinforcing it before use, with a metal band perhaps? When mine arrives, I will experiment.....

I look forward to your experimenting.

This tool looks horrible if you ask me and cheap quality, no surprise it breaks easily. I wouldn't get it even if it was free , don't want to decapitate my klickies anyways !!!  :o

Posted this in the PROCESS, but better here too.

Like I said, I don't find this very useful for the "normal" klickys (including speedos), because I have my own methods now (between the popper, whacking and yanking..  :P ), much faster...

However, I thought this would be useful for me for the weirdos.  I was sent a KekoKrak v2, and finally I tried it with a couple of these (I had popped a speedo before, just to see it work with some friends ;) )



So, decided to pop a super 4 fairy and one of the spirit weirdos..


 
Unfortunately, doesn't work with fixed hair... I hadn't thought of that... I suppose it's a duh. I have no idea how this can be solved.




Amazingly, I managed to yank her head just pulling (I believe it must have been somehow messed up - tried others and I couldn't :( )


Then, found out this one already existed in a different version (we don't know the series, so, first come, first stays) - this one to change.




Worked fine. But it CRAAAAAACKED mightily. I was afraid I had broken something... But didn't ;D


EEK.




And there:




I think this is a useful tool to add to the available methods. I cannot comment on durability, since I only popped a couple... but it did work fine for those...

And like I said before.. if I didn't know how to pop them.... I'd FREAKIN KILL for one of these! >:D
