For those interested in doing this.I swapped the modern Thor Head with the FTC Blonde Conan head...looks much cooler actually.The Helmet is permanently attached as it will not sit on its own

Do you mind me asking how you attached the helmet? Did you glue it on? For the EMCE retro Thor, I was thinking about buying a repro Thor helmet from Dr. Mego's site as I'm pretty sure it has the peg on the inside and then just making a small hole in the top of retro Thor's head in order to attach it.

used gel super Glue on the inside of the helmet.The helmet won't sit on his head properly without doing so.....I might do that with the classic Thor too...I mean,there really is no need to remove the helmet anyway.

I used Aleens tacky dots... It works well and it's not permanent.

I tried the tack stuff, but the tack just smears all over the hair while the tack is not strong enough to hold the helmet on properly

Here's the version of Thor that worked best for me. I don't really care much for the blank, lifeless look of the 'classic' head or the flat hair. Nor do I have much use for the modern costume. As nice as it is, it doesn't seem like Thor to me.



So! Instead, I put the modern head on a beefy older ZICA body, secured with putty. The skin tone on both are a good match. Added the classic helmet (again, putty) and costume. Rolled the cuffs in half, as someone suggested, and used the modern mallet as well. Your mileage may vary, but this mix gives me a good solid Thor I'm happy with. Plus, I feel he fits better with the Don Blake (a figure I do quite like).

[Teemu]

That looks great actually...wish the cape was longer but I may try your example too!

Thanks! The cape is actually knee-length-- it just looks shorter in these pics, because it comes out at an angle rather than hanging completely vertically. Which gives a bit of dynamic flow to the posing, in hand.

One drawback with the molded hair (as everyone else has mentioned), is that it prevents the head from turning. It occurred to me, that since I'm keeping this combo, I might as well just super-glue the head onto the body anyway for added stability.

Great look, Rodkeith!

Love it, cape just needs to be a little longer maybe around behind the knees.
