I'm afraid Kudos may have a broken neck cable, the one underneath which runs to his chin, this won't stop Kudos from having a perfectly normal life and he will be able to move his neck up and side to side, and down since gravity does the work for him. You will only notice it when Kudos is upside down and his neck needs to work against gravity to move.

There are only two cables in the neck.  One cable does up/down and one cable does left/right.  They attach at both ends at the neck and loop through the servo and come out the other side.
It seems like your neck vertical cable has become broken but has tangled inside the motor wheel.  That is my hypothesis

Ah ha, see I don't know everything :P Thanks Degers :)
Kudos it is repairable, it will involve surgery though. You would have to cut the rubber skin and peel it back, repair the cable by putting in a nice new one then glueing the skin back together. There was an instructional thread somewhere, give me a minute and I will see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is :) http://bobthepleo.com/forums/index.php?topic=939.0 (Sorry posted wrong link the first time)
