Hello, I was just wondering if anyone on here swapped out the hair on any of their Ultimate Warrior figures? I thought I saw a while back some photos of someone taking the Elite 26/HOF1 style Warrior hair and putting it on the Royal Rumble 91 or WrestleMania VII head. Realy, I'm just looking for any photos where Warrior's hair style was swapped. Anyone else remember seeing this?
Apologies if this post is in the wrong section, but I thought the main Mattel thread is where I saw these photos posted originally and would be my best bet.

How hard was this to do (removing the hair from the one head and then the other, and then gluing? the hair onto the other head)? Is this something that is a huge pain and very difficult to do? I've done several part swaps,"fix-ups", and some minor painting but no major customizing...

Not hard at all. Boiling water will loosen the bonding agent, I believe you will need to carve some of the back side of the HOF head so the hair piece fits. Crazy glue should hold it once you have it finished.

A lot of Warrior's have the wrong hair used.
WM Heritage should have the Legends 4 hair, this was before the hair spray teased look.
HOF 2, DM WM7, and Warrior America all suffer from Mattel not doing a mullet style head for Warrior. The 2-3 hair sculptor they have are great, but we need a mullet sculpt, it's been skipped to the detriment of his summer 1990-91 run.

As I think about it, the Marty Rockers hair would look amazing in the HOF2 head, not cheap solution though.

Thank you! I've been sitting on doing this for a long time, and this pic of Warrior made me pull the trigger on getting a cheap basic to do the swap. Where do those v-cut cowboy boots come from though, I can't remember?
