I've been working on my Clubmobile dio for some time now. My biggest hold up has been waiting on the figures I ordered. Low and behold after nearly two and a half months the last figure set finally arrives.So I said to myself, " Self, lets put the last figures together and move this dio along." Plopping my cheeks into my chair, I start the task of cutting, cleaning and gluing their little arms and legs in their respective positions. I'm to the point of one head to go when my buddy, beer in both hands, sits down next to me, hands me a beer and as I turn I unwittingly knock the little dudes head on the floor. As I crack and sip I notice my dog run up the stairs. To get to the point. My sprue grabbing pup decided she needed some head and ate the whole sprue..... head included! So I have two choices here. 1: order another set and wait two months or 2: follow my pup with a strainer and..well, what would you do?????

When I worked in the Emergency room we always had folks bring in thier little ones who had swollowed coins. They were always instructed to watch thier stool for change.
I wonder if plastic can survive a pup's digestive system? Hmmmmm....

You could always feed him some curry to speed things along, and if it is strong enough it would make using the strainer easier. :-)

John, if you need a new head, let me know. I can send one out in the morning - Monday.
The former sounds like a stinky job.

If I can help I got quite a few Hornet head sets if you need ..I can pop one in the mail for you ...I have a funny suspicion that even if you do follow her around you will find teeth marks all over that little head of yours ...PM me and we'll see if I got what you need ..

Thanks for the offer Ken and bear. It was from a Verlinden set and I tried to use a head from a ADV set I have but they were much smaller. Not sure who else would fit.

John, here are two "capped" heads I could send you. They are being compared to a Verlinden head which is the darker colored one.
Keep in mind, that two of the heads still have their resin blocks on, so their sizes may cause an optical illusion. Or was that delusion?
Let me know.

I've seen korean recipes for sweet and pungent dog, dog stew, doggy pies....
Actually, You could try rush delivering it, I dont think the strainer thing would work because the stomach acid in the dog would have turned the little heads and legs into blobs of plactic, or at least destroy the deatil.
Thats really unfortunate to hear though..I hate having to wait so long for things, but when I order things I end up waiting for 3 or 4 months, then find out that its on back order...then waiting another 6 months and finding out that theyre never going to get any more shipements in of that product.
