What neck peg can be used to get this head on a Hot Toys body?

meanstreak · Jan 28, 2009

Hoping someone can help me out... wanna buy this head (made by Soldier Story) and I wanna pop it onto a Hot Toys body. Which neck peg do I need to put this guy on a Hot Toys body?

Thanks for your help.

I believe you could use the full neck attachment from the true type like this one:

However, you might have to dremel the attachment ball down a little as I believe the HT one might be a bit large.

That's the right neck... although I'd probably see if you could force the ball joint in first, that head looks to be softer than standard ones.

Or, I'd probaby drill the head opening larger, trying to reshape a ball joint smaller can be a real pain.

That post will work but you will need to rework either the ball stud on the neck or the head's neck hole opening. As was said those heads can be a bit softer and you don't want to rip/tear the opening. I suggest taking a pair of small, sharp, pointed edge scissors. Place the point into the neck hole, DO NOT PUSH THE SCISSOR IN ALL THE WAY, just as far as it goes then give atwist of the blade in a full 360. You should see it "shave" the opening wider. Powder the neck ball stud and see if it goes in, if not retry the procedure. I have done this with many heads and never had a problem. you should make sure that this is the neck/body that you definitely want the head on , because taking it back off can result in damage if you change your mind.

hahaha, oh ^^^^, it does look like Justin Timberlake. I was just buying some random accessories from their ebay store and was scouting for extra stuff to add on.
