Yep, if the superman body is anything like the terminator body(which it is, by the looks of it) then the "lop sided neck" isnt a problem. It just needs to be posed to look straight! The neck is articulated, remember!
Same goes for the neck plug thing. I dont think its supposed to be glued inside the rubber neck so youre OK.

here is the range of movement possible from the base of the neck.
You can achieve some forward and backward movement too. Add the up and down motion of the head and you can get him to look down or up fairly well.

nice one for your input and has put my mind at rest alot,its fun messing around with this fig so il enjoy sorting it out,do you think the lower neck articulation would be kind of like a ball joint for all round movement of the neck?

No problem my friend. If supermans neck is like terminators, then it will be a bit stiff to move. It needs a little force but not too much.
Maybe putting it in hot water for a few minutes might help too.
