    Anyone have any suggestions? I'm stumped on adapting a plug. Thanks

    There are a couple of ideas in this thread from a few days ago.
    Hey all, I keep reading where customizers are taking pez dispenser heads and making custom mego heads. Can someone please describe this process to me. It doesn't seem too difficult but I don't want to screw it up either. thanks in advance. Lee

      I use a wooden dowel, glue it into the pez head, and wrap the part that goes into the body with some craft foam that matches the color of the character to make a neck, that way you can adjust the thickness so that it fits tight but still turns. Some pez heads I've dremeled out to fit a mego head, like Jango Fett, Clone Troopers and Nascar helmets.

        Thanks guys. I had thought of sculpting a plug, but it seemed like a foolish idea. It's good to hear others have succeeded. Plus I stink at casting.

            I just forced a wine cork into the bottom of the Pez head and shaved down the part sticking out of the head to fit the neck. Its just an idea but it worked well for me. Good luck.

              Take the body you plan to use with you to get the best fit. It's better to be a little big. You can whittle it down to fit. Same for the head.

              If you buy them online get the diameter as close to the neck hole of the body.
              Better late than never.....
