    My Head Is Too Big for My Body

    Uh....that is, I have an Action Jackson head and an AJ body, but it seems to be too big to squeeze into the little hole on top of the body. Suggestions?

    do you have a manicure set. i bought one at teh dollar store. there is a piece in that that you clean under your nails. put the head near the neckhole and put one side in then do a little more at a time . thats how i get my heads on. my wife gave me the idea. you can also oce you get one part in squeeze the head and turn it as you push it into the neckhole. that sometimes works. mike

      Run the AJ Head under warm/hot water. Should make the neck plug plyable enough to get it into the body with ease. Works all the time. Good Luck.

        I always run the neck plug under a hair dryer for a little bit. Makes it very soft and it pops right in.

          and sometimes use of a butter knife helps poke it in after it's been warmed up ... but not a sharp knife

            Also, make sure all of the butter is wiped off first
            It's all good!

                    Here's one my mom had suggested a while back. (I promised her she wouldn't be forgotten, and that includes her knowledge!) Microwave a wet washcloth. Put the corner of the washcloth in and around the neck hole of the figure itself. The hole is pliable and the head fits right in. I've tried this.

                    Thanks Mom, I you!

                        This always works!

                        First, stick the body in a bench vise, and tighten that sucker up until you cant tighten it no more.

                        Next, set the head on the neck hole. If it wont balance there, stick the neck in some grease...use big glops of it....and then stick it over the neck hole.

                        Step three, grab the biggest hammer (I mean HAMMER) you can find, and smoke that head right into the body. I'm not talking finger sandwich, frilly froo froo, girly man taps either. Swing that sledge like your life, and the lives of all your ancestors depended on it.

                        If, after all this the head still wont go in, then repeat the first three steps.

                        Or you could go with the hot water thing...whatever spins your wheels!!
