    I don't think so! You haven't done what I have, have you? I took my lid off and there was a loose part, forget what it was. Anyhow I used to slam the top of the head to get the motor to deploy, And it broke something which holds it together inside. Once I figured out what happened, I was able to glue it back together. It's been awhile, and I'm old, so I can't remember what was loose.:o

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.
