I just LOVE new sculpts, especially head sculpts. I've learned to accept repaints in the last 10 years, especially body parts, but something about repainted heads loses the flavor of the "Highly Trained Special Mission Force" composed of individual warfare experts.
With no Joes at retail I've had to be patient and get a little creative. It's amazing how little modifications like a good butch can remake a figure. Almost named this the "ARBCO Avenue Barbershop and Hair Salon," but that wasn't as welcoming for others to contribute. So go ahead - what have you found at retail lately that can work for Joes, maybe with a little modification? |

And here's General Hux, also modified. The head is a bit bigger and could work with Retaliation sized figures. I was thinking Ripcord when I bought him:

I kitted up a Jyn Erso with Marauder's gear. I've also used heads from Poe Dameron and Kylo Ren on Joe bodies.

Good ideas, Solosam. The Jyn Erso head fits under helmets, which helps make her less recognizeable as Jyn Erso. I'm planning on giving Poe a haircut soon as well.

Dude. If you could make a Rose Tico head look as awesome as the heads above, you could sell that recipe back to Disney and Hasbro!!!

I do this all the time.
Here’s a few I had lying about: That’s Dr. Strange, Colossus, some BBI head, and a 3 3/4” DC head.
