I have a few resin APES heads I purchased that need to be attached to bodies... The problem is that they have "stems" rather than MEGO-style "plugs" and they won't stay in the torso... Two of them have stems that aren't very long and slip out easily... The other one has a longer stem but it also wants to slide out if the head is even slightly moved (or if the figure is picked up the wrong way)... Any advice on a good way to attach them more "permanently"?

make a ball joint neck for it, tie it down with elastic using a screw eye.Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness
To do list:
1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
1:9 scale ape's new suit for Cornelius; -
By "full articulation", I'm guessing you mean "full range of motion" (similar to the 12" GI Joe)? I think I seen where somebody did that, but I can't remember who it was... Anyway, other than maybe putting some putty over the stem to round it off, is there any difference in the way this would be attached?

It's called a "Ball Jointed" Neckplug, and BlackKnight uses them on all his Figures(then they can look up, down, or in any direction). After you round the Neck Plug off, drill a hole across the Bottom...then string your Elastic Cord through the Torso, and down to the Pelvis Bar to tie it off.

You also said that they alreay have Stems, so you won't have to make a Ball joint...unless you want full articulation.
