I’d be curious see how those turn out.

May I ask where and how much you’re sourcing the items for the Civil War kitbash?

This is getting more difficult now with Hot Toys' rolling eyes, because they use a clear plastic socket on top of the ball joint, that plugs into a matching shape inside the sculpt.

With older sculpts you could put tack on top of the rubber cup covering the ball joint to keep it set higher.

You could do the same with the new style, but it would likely be less secure.

(I find the new system fiddly, as the two parts don't always want to connect, and it can end up moving the eye stalks so you have to start over adjusting the eyes).


One reason why the head may be sitting lower is that the ball joint (the barbell piece) may not be vertical, which wasn't an issue when there was less empty space inside the sculpts.

It works with blu tack. I put together a custom post ROTS Kenobi using the CW head and it sits okay and securely on the ball joint of a DAM body I’m using. So don’t panic. There are options.
