Tip for attaching resin heads

[Action Martin]

I have a bunch of resin heads and Doc Mego T-2 bodies coming in. I've read here that the plugs need to be shaved down to fit. I believe that I also read that the holes need to be dremeled. Which is it or is it a combination of both?

[Dave Mc]

If I'm using an original Mego body, I usually just dremel down the neck plug on the resin head. You should leave it just a touch bigger than the hole. Just make sure you don't trim it too much or it will fit loose and wobble. If you do accidentally take it down too much, wrap the neck plug with a little plumbers pipe tape, that will fix it.

When I use a DM body with the smaller neck plug, I'll usually dremel the hole a bit bigger as well as work the neck plug.

If Your using a Doc Mego Body...first replace the Torso with an original Mego one(that's what I do)...then make the Neckhole bigger with an Xacto Knife(but not too big!)....heat the Torso up with either a Hair Dryer(or hot Water)...and it'll pop right on(without splitting the Torso)!

[Mr Havoc]

The cvtv bodies can be heated in really hot water as well and I trim both and try it often and it goes in really tight. don't over do it or your head will fall right out. I don't trim original bodies just because. and Doc's bodies will split if you try to force the over sized head in it. Heat wont work on his either. So good luck and ask lots of questions before you break any thing. Just like I did. Just ask the custom guys.

Cast-A-Way Toy's Bodies are supose to be coming out soon...and are a "softer" Plastic like the original Mego Bodies. That combined with the Bigger LJN style Arms...It looks like I'll be buying lot's of Them for Customizing! I can't wait....You're killing Me Dave!!

Dane...you really need to invest in a dremel dude!

[Mr Havoc]

Yes a dremel is the best. I love mine and you can even get little cheap ones that are off brands now. Listen to Megospidey hes the man.

True...I do need one for Custom Parts(Torso's)...but not for regular Mego Bodies. I did buy an electric Xacto Knife...works great!

[spiderrogue]

Nah,... He is Far to Lazy to Achieve Dremel Work.

[GSPUSA]

I use a file to shave the resin neck plug to the desired size and a drill bit turned by hand to open up the neck hole.

Funny Jason. But I really haven't needed one yet, because I've been Customizing with Original Mego Bodies. Also...I just bought a Bulked up Torso from BlackKyptonite....which He casts hollow.

Now...if I get into the solid ones BK(like You cast...and I probably will), then I will need a Dremel Kit.

I picked up a Dremel this past Saturday night. Yep, it was a real party weekend for ol' Action Martin. Went to see Indy IV and then went to Wal-Mart for a Dremel. Whooo!
