Anyone Own a Compo Sensei DX? Need help removing the head

[shogunkid]

Hi,

Just got my CompoSensei in the mail and put it together... Unfortunately the head pops into this cradle with a red tab... the red tab isn't moving and I don't want to force it. Its not possible to take it apart with screws as this piece the head connects to is glued together. Can someone tell me if the red tab is supposed to be pushed or pulled to release the head?

Thanks!

I have compoboy, which is basically the same toy. I am almost positive that it should be pushed in. I have never had a button on a gokin that needed to be pulled out.

You need to be careful because compo sensei is made of blue plastic like dairugger and albegas have. It is fragile.

I will say that it is possible that the fit is very tight if your compo sensei is new and unused. If so, you may want to check that the head is fully pushed in, or gently pull or push the head to see if the lever will slide and free itself.

I bought an unused compoboy and it is very easy for me to install and remove the head. I'll try to get to mine tonight but may not be able to.

Let me know how you make out.

Many thanks Mr. Ginrai for the assistance! I'll work at it carefully... tried to lube it with Armor All so crossing my fingers.

Hi Mr. Ginrai after fiddling with it it finally popped out.. mission accomplished! Unfortunately the red ring doesn't line up exactly with the outer hole when you push in the tab. I'm not sure if I should try to file the red plastic ring down or the lip of the blue plastic on the neck but at least I got it out for now. Thanks again!

Post pictures of the screws on the back of the chest and a pic of what's not lining up and I'll get pics of my compoboy to compare.
