how do you work with this thing? You put him on other dudes and he looks like a chicken or something.

I believe he means how long his neck is.

and a neckectomy tends to work wonders.

If you're referring to the length of his neck, yes I agree its useless. For some reason they made the area where the head sits waaaay too long and compensated with a long neck. If you REALLY wanna create a freak custom, put Blowtorchs head on a Hiss Driver torso. I did that when I was about 10 years old and the thought still scares me.

yeah, i put him on a ripcord and he was okay on that, but otherwise...


and i get the feeling no other heads will work on his body, the zap i have on there looks weird and the duke looked like it would of been cool but it just wouldn't fit, and i sanded.

yeah i sanded but your still gonna need the knob thing at the bottom so the lengths gonna be pretty much the same, right? I've seen you guys do some crazy "LASER BLAST" on the customs so you guys could probably pull it off.

The wonderful thing about post head figures is you can cut bits off of the neck and all you need is a screw with a wide head to act as the nob to the head in place.

Use a Razor Saw to shorten up the neck as needed...drill a hole, add the screw adn the head will work as well as can be wanted.

If you need to add length to the neck its a bit more difficult and would prolly be best done by finding a length of Styrene rod thats the correct diameter to match the bottom of the neck.... Cut off the bottom of the neck and nob...add a section of the styrene rod...drill a hole through the nob, rod and into the head...peg and glue as needed
