Hi Folks,
I'm looking to buy a custom-made female ME-style head, stick it on a vintage body and thus create an original custom vintage female Gi Joe (or Jane in this case). The main problem is that in the ME-style figures, the head and the neck are two separate parts, while in the vintage ones, they're one item. In order to mount that head, would I essentially have to tack a spare vintage figure, shave enough off of it so that the head becomes a "stump", then stick the custom head onto the "stump"? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

I think one of the casters has a conversion kit. Can't remember if it was Vortius customs, or AVAC's lab.
