Its not that hard but you do have to cut them up a little thus ruining your remco head but I have a lot of spares so I dont mind. Thanks for the comment. I have some more to put together.

I love the AWA and wish Jakks made more of them, but i really dislike the use of the AWA heads on the Jakks body - they just look too unrealistic to me. Also whats the mix-match on the top & boot covers on Brody?

I have both of the sets for Brody I thought it looked better that way. And you just have to soften the heads up a little with hot water and use an exacto knife or something to carve a little off the bottom to fit decently. Thanks.

well im trying to picture it.. ya know when ya take the remco head off its got kinf of that thick rim... do you trim that whole thing so it fits over the jakks neck? or to you trim the jakks neck so it sits on top?
i been wanting to rekindle the fued between the long riders and the road warriors but been wary because im not sure i could make the heads work...
after seeing how awesome your remco jakks combos tunred out now im interested in it again... may a pic if ya can man...
again fantastic work a true creative inspiration... thanks for sharing man.

Yes you have to trim off the rim or they get a kinda stretched out look my regal has that, you might also have to trim down the jakks neck and traps or it will also loook stretched out. I have the long riders just have to touch them up a bit I'll post more pics tommorrow.

You also got to remember LJN that some of these heads are old and the rotocast vinyl may have discolored with age so the skintones might not match up evenly with the bodies.

very nice fix-ups and set-up! i'm a sucker for old school awa & nwa figs. just wished jakks, or mattel for that matter, had released more old school wrestlers.

Great Job... I'm surprised how the remco heads look on the Jakks body's... Of course they aren't perfect but they do the job.. Keep up the good work..

I like it. Great looking ring and the REMCO heads look pretty good on those RA's.
