    Another quick idea/option. Based on your first idea, look what I though. Make a hole in the basic AM neck and place that rubber connector from the long neck inside and glue it. I have no idea if its height matchs with this area from AM's, but I THINK it would work as the "short" neck improved...

    Thanks, man, I sure will. What can happen now is either I give up and use the same body from 40th I have OR go ahead and try the bash. haha I just found we have a dremmel here. hehe

    Ok, cool, man. Thanks a lot. I was thinking, I can sand the neck and place this peg from BBI with a washer not? So I wouldnt need to glue the head. The problem is to find this little peg. lol

    Oh I see. I asked about the BBI figure because its shape seems to be more of a cone so I wouldnt need to file the neck post. I deatached the head of my figure yesterday I understood what the guy did, the washer actually connects on the upper part of the head. I believe it would stay firm, but...

    Np, answer when you have time. :) Here is another one I found: comparing your original HT body with this one... I guess you can see how the tones are different. Plus yours is oppac.

    Sorry meant if the neck is leaned or "fixed" there. If that is the standart position of this neck in that body. You said the head diformed and that is problem then... I'd need to sand the neck post that scares me a bit since I am not a modder and these things are not cheap. haha About the...

    Great, man, thanks a lot! I guess that it looks great, I mean the color match is indeed bad but I think those "narrow shoulders bodies" have a more orange-ish color than the one you used, no? But since the uniform has a high colar it wont be a problem. Here goes some questions: 1- Once the head...

    BTW I see a (color) difference between the head and the plastic in this figure here. Do you think it will be more or less the same?

    GI JOE (classic) head into a modern body, serious HELP!

    Here are the photos and the problems regarding adding the head to ANY neck post, including using the original (digging a hole). As you can see bellow, the head base is not cutted "right", If you put it in a 0 degree the figure will be looking "up" all the time. To make the character look...

    Another thing, this head is from Modellersloft, it is not an original Action Man vintage, but a reproduction from 2006.
