    MOTU/He-Man Head Swap Possible?

    Just wondering if anyone here has tried to mount a He-Man type head on a Mego. IIRC, MOTU have neck-pegs on the body and not neck-plugs, correct?

    what he-man line are you asking about/ classic 80's, 200X or the new MOTUC line?

      None of the MOTU series heads are in Mego scale.

      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...

        Hmmmm....

        I've used He-Man torsos to beef up 8" figures, and you COULD use one with a head, but they look really small with Mego limbs.

          I'd love to see somewhat do Mego-compatible MOTU resin enlargements.
          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

            Yeah, I guess they would look too small on an 8 inch. Probably not a Lion Rock body, but then you're limited to teen/shorter characters.

              MOTU heads are really not proportioned or styled right for Mego bodies. Too small for Mego and too broad for Lion Rock. Plus the neck design is totally different. MOTU heads have very short necks because part of neck is molded into the torso. They would look really odd attached to Mego bodies.
