Why? Is it supposed to be this way?

Hey Tobias...sounds like the parts are over-played with and are loose.  They're
supposed to possess the requisite "snug fit" we're all accustomed to with Lego
bricks.  I must have about 1,000 or more spacemen, and none possess a
predilection for decapitation.  :-)  Probably because I always leave them
assembled...

One thing I have had some luck with in restoring flags whose clips are
so loose as to make the flag useless is to run the item under hot water
and then squeeze lightly. With the heads, you won't have much chance of
breaking the part.
