Advice re: DC character/Figures…

[TRDouble]

I used Shazam’s original hands with the Type S body. I figured the color was better, and since Cap’s entire body is covered apart from his head and hands, it would look better. They fit fine, and seem solid enough…

As for the head swapping, Cap’s head popped off the old body and went on the Type S with ease.

GA’s head was ridiculous. It came off ok, but I swear no matter how long I submerged it in hot water, and no matter how hard I tried to place it in, it would not go into the Type S body.

Next, I tried unscrewing the body, but one screw refused to budge, so I said “Screw it” (ironic pun intended), and shaved a bit off the part of the neck that bulged the most; just enough to force it in after heating it again.

The problem with the plastic on the neck of my Retro GA head/neck was that it didn’t remain soft long enough for me to plug it in the S Type body. In any event, it came out great.

Ah! Gotcha! When the screws are not stripped, unscrewing the Type S body makes popping heads on it, like Green Arrow, very easy.

I forgot that Captain Marvel's head had a smaller peg that pops in the Type S really easy. It also pops out really easy and drove me crazy! I cut the neck plug off, put in a CTVT neck plug, and that keeps it in the body. I also swapped the FTC cape for a Topps Mego cape; I hate that big elastic band (I recently replaced the elastic on the FTC cape with a gold cord that I kept from a fancy box of candy).

I'm glad the hands fit well. If they feel a little loose, put some electrical tape on the pegs and that keeps this nicely in place too.
