Does anyone have both this Vulture figure and the new Cap from the Joe Fixit wave? If so, can you let me know if the Cap head fits on the Vulture body with no modifications? |

Sure! To remove the legs on both figures, I placed them in front of my teenager's hair dryer for a good minute on full blast. I used needle nose pliers to pop them off at the ball joints at the waist.
Someone with more experience--or finesse--probably wouldn't need pliers. |

It happens. Hasbro's plastic tolerances can be inconsistent from one figure to the next.
Is the ball still stuck in the joint? If so, your best bet it to drill into the ball, eventually drilling off enough to reach in with a pair of needle-nosed pliers to get the debris out. This tutorial shows how to replace a ball joint on a figure with a small screw. Guide to Repairing Broken Pegs with Screws - Mint Condition Customs |

I found an older Captain America head that fit better and captures Hawk more precisely. I’m in love with how it turned out. Thanks, mcbarkerton.
My only issue is one leg is really lose because of how I feed it from DJ’s body. I am tempted to get a couple more and try again. |

I will see what I can do tomorrow.
By the way, I saw that you tried to send me a message but that my box was full. I tried to send you an email via the website. Feel free to email me at [email protected]. |
