Figure customizing question

Post by spect_spidey » Tue Jan 03, 2006 7:09 am

Can anybody tell me what heads are compatible with the USMC figure bodies? Does the paratrooper heads or the BoB heads fit into the marine bodies without doing any modifications?

Yes, the Para & BoB heads fit into the USMC w/o mods, no they do not fit snug. So while there is no prob attaching them, they may be a little loose or need the benefit of gravity.

Basically the easiest and best 21C swaps are 11 of the 12 para heads, the BoB heads, the US/German Infantrymen with removable helmets, and the 1st ID truck driver. This group is all just pluck and place interchangeable.

The USMC have a slightly larger "bulb" at the base of their neck so their heads need a little trim to fit the others, though the plastic is soft so it is easy. In turn, the hole for the USMC neck is a bit too big for the BoB/Para heads.
