    well I don't have Masters so I will just have to get one to see. It should just be opened to accept the ball. Its the same type of joint on the snapchat or whatever they are figures and that is a ball with a hollow head. It makes no sense the way the figure was designed to not be compatible with existing 8 inch scale figures and then offer nothing to go along with it. is the actual Yvonne head solid? if so how did they do the hair?

      For the Yvonne's to be worthwhile, you must have a solid head with a hole underneath to attach the head (mostly using Blue tak to attach it securely or other methods)...Unless FTC makes a special attachment to fit regular mego heads (which they likely won't) onto the peg, they are useless for Mego styled heads of all kinds.
      Well, FTC did change the 8inchsuperstore heads to be peg-less and make the neck adapters for those heads, so I would not completely rule out FTC making a special attachment for the Yvonne head. That's a huge lost opportunity if FTC opts to do nothing with the body, and adapting it to the female Mego head would be the easiest way to make money on Yvonne.

        The two Castaway heads I have you can remove the pegs so I think that is the case with all of them. Probably not a FTC change.

          I've also noticed other stuff from 8 inch superstore there as well, Dr Evil Sandals for one and the guns they carried too.

            It will accept the ball, but the problem is the thickness of the neck too...you would have to open the hole larger under neath the head. If you have a solid head and drill a hole underneath, it works then for the yvonne. I have converted six DD female figures onto yvonne's

              Pretty sure I said I'd have to dremel out the neck hole twice now. No idea what a DD figure is either. Still didn't answer my question as to whether the original Yvonne head is solid or rotomolded. If it is hollow then with some minor work any hollow head should work.

                You should know what DD is by now He only makes the best customed Horror/Sci-fi Mego styled figures out there

                You can't dremel out a hole in the neck, it's a peg system plus you can't plug a mego styled head onto the Yvonne because of the fact it uses a peg to connect heads .I've told you that already. The original yvonne head is mostly solid with a hole underneath to plug into the peg while its fits over the neck.It was never meant to fit females mego heads. A regular mego female head is hollow and would never peg into the yvonne unless you opened the hole wider (to fit over the neck portion of the yvonne) and filled in the hollow head.

                  no I don't know what DD is goof. Dunkin Donuts? Daredevil? And it will work by just dremeling it out, same ball system on the snapstar figures and the heads are hollow just like mego

                            You can add me. I also didn't know what DD meant.
                            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                                Actually it's being changed to just Dunkin, I guess America doesn't want donuts added because their unhealthy, (really)
                                like anyone is going to be fooled or cares.
