Super excited today. I found a Joe scale Deadpool in the wild. It was a box set of him, wolverine and warpath. I love doing quick and dirty no-paint customs. I've been wanting to work Deadpool into my Joeverse for a while now, but it had to make sense. No super powers or anything. 30th Snake Eyes was PERFECT! The main difference is the reverse of grey and white on the torso. After being pretty satisfied with the results, I tried out wolverine. Made his specialty, ninja claws. Works great.
Here is where my issue comes in. The heads are just kind of on there wobbling around. The neck pegs are way too small for the marvel neck holes. I have some sculpey left over from a Munny figure I did a while ago. I was thinking of using that, but I'm unsure on how to proceed. Do I pack sculpey in the neck hole, shove a joe neck peg in and bake? How do I make sure that the neck peg will remove after baking? Maybe put grease on it? Or maybe I'm going about it entirely wrong. Any advice is welcome. :D
Also, playability is important. If my daughter gets ahold of them and swivels the heads around, I don't want it to crack apart, or become immovable.
