I understand that the ZICA/CTVT Yvonne neck connector is not compatible with traditional Mego female heads. But can someone explain to me how it is *supposed* to work? Clearly the head it comes with works. I'm not sure if I'm messing up the shapes or the dimensions, but I can't quite figure out how a resin head is supposed to properly connect.

I struggle with how to get resin heads onto the darn thing. Would love to hear from an expert.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Yvonne heads are just heads as the neck remains on the torso and connects with a simple post/ball joint (also part of the neck and can be removed).
Your sculpt/cast needs to accommodate the neck (*think* an original Mego female head can just push right on), and post/ball joint if you still would like the head to swivel. If you want to retain the motion, core (with a well fit drill bit) out the inside of your resin head and fill with a material that you can fit to the neck/post such as Apoxie Sculpt. This allows you to move the head (fitting it well) while the filler material dries.
Make sense?
