Given the very radical differences in head styles between the Hulkbuster figure two-pack and Gallows and Grim Skull, does anyone have any suggestions for how to customize the original Gallows and Grim Skull heads to fit the Rollbar and Bazooka bodies? Is it better to shave down the post to try to fit the newer sculpt bodies, or cut the post off entirely and glue on a correctly sized post? I'd rather not waste as many figures in the process as possible since the Hulkbuster figures by themselves work pretty well as Gallows and Grim Skull on their own. However, I really want to use those fantastic original heads.

Okay, alternative question then: What bodies to the Gallows and Grim Skull heads fit on?

Easiest way to do it would be to chop all the heads off of the necks right at the jaw line.

then drill and peg the Hulkbuster necks onto the Plague heads....add your choice of glue and paint the neck...done.

If you've dabbled at all with casting you could use the Void Method.

basicly you cast just the neck ball of the Hulkbuster head, then when you pour the resin in you mush the Plague head down into the resin...it hardens...and you've got a cast neckball that works just right.

Thanks, Brian. I didn't know Void does that, but it's a good idea.
