Perhaps a silly question, but can all the Mego 12 inch superhero figure heads, be easily removed and replaced, onto another mego 12 inch body, just like the 8 inch Mego WGSH heads can easily be removed/replaced?

Short answer, yes. Are you wanting to do like a Hot Toys type body that has more joints? It's easy to remove a head but the pegs are not always compatible and sometimes you have to rig up your own. Which sounds harder than it is, I body swap a lot and its usually not a big issue.

Replacing Mego 12 inch Head removal/replacement
Oh yeah, that will be fine! I don't have any 12 inch Mego Males, but the female heads pop off easier than the 8 inch. If it feels "stuck" or you just want to be really careful, steal a hair dryer from a female and blow hot air on high for like 20 seconds, it softens the plastic up so it will be easier to remove and put on a different body. In a few minutes the head will have cooled down and it will be sturdier again. If you don't have access to a blow dryer, you can use a heating pad or really hot water, but I try to avoid getting things wet unless I have to. It doesn't cause damage, but I don't like risking it and its the most annoying technique to use in the sense of materials and time. And wet lol.

Must admit not really into the 12 inch WGSH line, but as Batman was going for such a good deal could not resisit. Shame his left leg, below the knee was broke. It's because of this I am looking for a replacement body. The outfit, cape, boots are all in good condition. No gloves though. Must be quite common, to loose the gloves.Comment
