I simply drilled out several R3 Kane heads and they for great on my Mattel Kane figs and I haven't had to glue any of the 4 yet But if you pull at them won't they come off? I don't think you understand that I animate. I don't just display my figures so I need the heads to be on as well as if they were factory made. Not just squeezed on for display. They stay on just fine man. They get played with and slung around. Haven't had a head come off one single time |

Not just squeezed on for display. I've done this with several Jakks heads and a few toybiz heads as well. I use a drill bit that is just a tick larger that the ball socket that mattels use. I carve out the space around the neck area, and the heads sit snug, retain most if not all articulation of regular Mattel heads, and the don't pull off unless I give them a good pull. Ohh cool bruh. Well do what works for you. Sounds interesting. I may get a drill bit one of these days too. Could you show me any of your customs? |

Literally got here in a day. Thanks for getting it out so fast. No shoe polish here. Everything besides his hair was re-painted. Wasn't easy, but I like how it turned out. |

stoptheclocks that Steamboat looks great. Awesome work. The details on the calves/boots really sets this apart from most Chi-town Rumble Steamboats.
