Gracelyn Football Figures - custom fodder

Bought Series II a couple weeks ago. The problem I have is Series I actually had full heads underneath - I used one to make a WWII quartermaster (the bodies are not 1/18, but the heads are). But, on Series II, the figures I have taken the helmets off only have half heads. The good news looks to be Series III has figures without the helmets on - yippee, custom fodder. And, the spare 21C heads you don't like (aka Sahara fig) actually work pretty well to swap back in to still use the football figs (my boy loves them)

Sounds interesting (especially the football player with Dirk Pitts head)
Have any pics?

No pictures of the actual players, but here is the quartermaster I did with the Deion Sanders head.
"If you're tanks on empty,
and you don't know what to do -
Primetime, Primetime - he's got the fuel for you!"
Yep, I've lost it.

i have series 1 of the nfl guys. I found that two of them are actually 1/18 scale. I can't remember the names right now but one was a quarterback who in real life is 6' 6. The gracelyn figure is about perfect size.
I find both the heads and torsos of the gracelyn figures work fine for 1/18, but the arms and legs are too long, making them too tall for the most part. I was thinking of ways to chop down the length of the legs and arms to bring them more into the 1/18 realm. But two of them work fine in 1/18 as they are.
They're supposed to be doing NBA players. Those will probably be great for 1/18 as those guys are mostly all giants.
