How hard is it to swap heads on a Mattel elite figure? Im looking to put the DX 2pack HBK head on the DM figure. How can this be done without destroying a figure?

Very easy, I do it all the time. Soak the head in boiling water for thirty second then pop it right off. After it cool down it will be as good as new.

run hot water or use a hair dryer on the neck....push a little to loosen it more, then more heat.....then pop it off.
Extremely easy.

I did pulled off the 2packs series1 HBK head awhile back with not hot water and it broke the neck of the figure. Also there was a hook/latch attached to the head, are they not ball jointed? How do i put the head on anohter figure? |

Once the neck peg is broke I'm pretty sure the body is no good without glue. As for the head you could still soak it, and use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the peg out. |
