star wars headsculpts by and large seem to be a little more finely crafted than modern era joe heads. also the constant recycling of heads that hasbro does for joes got me searching for better heads for the various modern era joes that have inferior or inaccurate head sculpts. so here are some that i've done that i think are neat (if not entirely accurate to the original character).
i had to use my blackberry camera to take the pics and the quality sucks. but anyway i've got a biggs head on cutter (sans hat), a joker squad blonde guy on flash, red haired joker squad guy on snow job, imperial knight draco or something on lift ticket, a wing pilot on short fuze and wedge antilles on breaker anyone else got any good star wars, terminator salvation, wwe build n brawl, indy or wolverine origins swaps? |

I'm actually a little surprised BroJob hasn't made interchangeable parts for their SW, GIJOE and Marvel lines in order to cut more corners and reduce costs.
Each SW action figure has its own unique head/neck joint. They are, generally speaking, not interchangeable without some modifying. That said, I have a Luke Skywalker head on a TRU SRO Duke body to represent Mangler, and a scarred Anakin Skywalker head on a Snake-Eyes body to represent unmasked Snake-Eyes. |

They could still do new sculpts. But for the aliens and stuff. But I'd love to have interchangable joe/marvel/sw parts. |

I used the Episode 2 (?) Captain Antilles head for Starduster. And some Naboo Pilot for Grand Slam (although I had to trim off his double chin). Both are 1000% better now IMO.
I also used the McQuarrie Starkiller for Quarrel and the Golden Compass Kidman for Glenda (both of which are buried somewhere in this forum) I'm saving my Biggs head for Footloose. |
