Hey guys need some help. I picked up a Red Skull Capt Am fig for cheap. I wanted to just do a head swap with a Joe head. The ball on Red Skull is bigger. How do I get the Joe head to fit? Do I need to sand it down. What is the best way to get this done? I've wanted to do this with other lines as well (Star Wars). Thanks

You can attempt to dremel out the head so it will fit onto the neck joint. Or, like you said, try to shape the neck to fit the head you want to use.

I would certainly adjust the neck ball before screwing with the head...if the neck ball doesn't come out perfect...who cares the head covers it up...but if if you "over drill" on the head...you risk drilling right through the back/top/side/front
trust me...it can happen...i have 18 roc baroness bodies...and 13 roc baroness heads, yeah you counted right...i screwed up a total of 5 heads practicing exactly what you're doing |

I have used an exacto knife on both ball joint and head before to get the desired affect, but yes, I agree that working on the ball joint first is the wiser idea.
