Do any other 1:18 toy lines heads connect well with Boss Fight bodies?
I have tried several heads and nothing seems to play nice due to the neck ball joint & head-hole setup. It's like you can put Marauder Task Force heads on, but the neck it too long. You take out the ball joint & you can rest the head on there by friction only (but that's not great). Acid Rain doesn't fit right (unusually large noggins on some/loose connection)... And other toy-lines I have tried the neck is just to wide at the top-base to get into the heads... What have the customizing crew here come up with as solutions? Or is Boss Fight just use Boss Fight only, or make some cuts/dremel/glue? Thanks for listening... |

Yes I do! Thanks for the mention. I will say that the female BFS necks present a greater challenge for fitting heads from other lines than you will have for the male figures. Even with shorter barbells there is a flared-out area at the top of the females' necks that prevents a lot of heads from being installed low enough to look correct. If there isn't room to hollow of the inside of the donor head then you end up stuck.
I haven't gone so far as to carve down that "meaty" section of the neck yet, but I've been sorely tempted. I think doing so could open up a ton of head options if you can do it without having it looking chopped up and/or failing to grip the barbells properly when the material is thinner.

Just wanted to drop Zap a line here, I haven't posted the customs just yet, but the female head/neck connectors you provided work splendidly, & I am very happy with their fit & function, thank you for providing this service for customizers!

Apparently Zap is the man with the plan. Very impressive.

I'm really itching to see new Marauder Task Force 1/18 and 1/12 heads in finalized colors.
