The head looks like its cast, anyone broken one yet?

I have only thrown mine about 30 times and am definitely not an expert thrower and mine is still in one piece. Hope this helps

The head on these things is unexpectedly strong. I seriously reenforced the handle the day it arrived, just because this thing was GOING TO GET USED!!!! First camping trip I used this ax for what it was made for. Limbs, dead brush, even the minor splitting of a few "OK" sized logs and not to mention hurling it at a dead tree 30 times. Still goin' strong. I recommend it.

I didn't break the head but I broke 2 heads off the handle from two different ones

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. &#9786;&#128522;&#128512;

No. I have been using it for about 6 months now and haven't had any problems with it. The head will retract completely as long as the notches are aligned

The head is removable, but there is no spring loaded head or spoon. I'd be happy to send a few pictures of it completely taken apart if you want?

Interesting question. The head does not come off with normal effort. Seems Streamlight wants it returned 'if needed' to assure a correct repair.

Mine hasn't yet, and i've had it a few months now. I have just learned to work with it.

Hello Pusang....The Helen Model does have hole in the base that is plugged and it appears when I tap on her head that the head is hollow but I don't know "how thick her skull is" ?? LOL...but it is a very sturdy model and I'm sure you could drill into it if you wanted to. :-)

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!

I have already had to replace the head once. I use it on my head. do not press hard it will eat up the mesh.

I ordered and returned this item a while ago. It didn't work at all, so I sent it back. I don't remember what material the head was. Sorry!

They are not one solid piece but the heads don't come off either. (At least mine haven't yet.) They must be glued on it something. The heads of mine aren't loose at all or act like they want to come off.

Yes. I have a broken Dragon head as it slid off a 30 inch counter onto the floor. Very sad.

Mine was not broken -- came and looked better than I thought it would. We just have it on display on our bar at home, haven't taken shots out of the glasses, so don't know how well they wash.

I found mine was hard to get off too, but when I took a firm hold of the top and just pulled strongly on the head, it came directly off, straight up. You have to show it who's the boss. (smile)

Its obvious that these broad heads are not designed to be taken apart to replace and parts. Look at the photos and it appears the construction is more like the practice Rage broad heads which are pinned together. The Rage Hunting broadheads have allen set screws allowing for the replacement parts. If I

Yes I have. I noticed it a couple of days ago. I will replace the nut with stainless steel.

It does not appear to be glued it, rather placed into the head almost like hair plugs. That is rather strange but I mean like hair replacement type plugs. Tight placing so there are no visible patches. Very thick hair. You won't be disappointed with the purchase of this doll. She's beautiful and as they advertise, life like in size and weight.
