think it might be different from figure to figure. couple of the cyclops figures i had were tough to pop the heads off without heat. i'd also heard of someone snapping the peg when trying to pop off the rogers head. best way to for sure do it without damage is heating up the head with water, a blow dryer, or a warm lamp.

Anybody got a suggestion for a morph figure head? I was thinking of getting an extra Wolverine in x class uniform and head/hand swapping it

Try a GI Joe 25th anniversary Tomax or Xamot head.

si senor but I don't think i will be opening those right away, I am waiting to get all the other 'essential' characters from GI Joe first

and I can't imagine using those

Anyone know any cheap-o figures that would work?

I was acutally gonna do a quick morph custom, and throw black golves and boots punisher head on the alpha flight wolverine body and call it good.

But the head wont fit so woe is me.

It'd be a quick and easy morph.

uberlad · 01-25-2012, 06:57 PM

If the head doesn't come off right away (like newer figures such as Cyclops, Namor, Warlock, etc), heat water in the microwave for a minute. Take it out, and dip the figure in the water for about 30 seconds, and then the plastic will be softened and things pop right off.

uberlad · 01-25-2012, 07:01 PM

as far as Morph goes, I've used a head from Star Wars with some silly putty tucked in to keep it tight. Janek Sunber is the guy's name.

Jason Abbadon · 01-25-2012, 07:23 PM

You guys all seem to want the cartoon Morph, which looks like the Toad sans tongue to me....I want the Exiles version, which is sorta Deadpool's mask with a mouth.

Veronica Mars · 01-26-2012, 03:49 AM

The Janek Sunber head works well for cartoon Morph, I've seen it, howeve I can't find the pics, as for Exiles/AoA Morph I'm hesitant on the Hush head, I think Hush's head works better for Chameleon from Spider Man

Don't mind at all. I'll go get it on Friday. If you don't like the price I'll just return it.

I want that Morph packed in with his AOA team mates like Sabretooth, Sunfire, Blink, Rogue

also for AOA sabretooth anyone think of putting Sabes head on Piledriver?

Actually I've finally found some close up pics of him and he looks a little too 'happy' for Hydro-Man to me, please don't worry about getting it for me. Thank you for offering though.

But if anyone is looking for a cartoon Morph head, theres a great custom on HISSTank made from that JBL.

Project Talk Head for a MU Morph custom - HissTank.com - G.I. Joe

SH0CKWAVE · 01-26-2012, 10:02 AM

Janek Sunber FTW.

Snailbot · 02-25-2012, 12:35 AM

Does anyone have any tips, ideas, or rigid instructions for making (variant) Havok's headpiece? Mine does not have one.

dude i was thinking the same thing! i got the wolvie but cant find a good head. i just tried this today, if you wanna take upper body apart to get to the arm with ball joint, only works for the new molds steve rogers, cyclops, ect. , take a razor slide trew shoulders going along the line starting from neck, then gently pull apart, comes off in one piece, good for swaping skin arm from namor to other figs if you dont want to paint and get paint rub.

I was thinking you wanted the Age of Apocalypse/Exiles Morph head. That could probably be done with a Union Jack and a solid white.

Nah with all the talk of the cartoon team I was wanting to put that together but if they never make the AOA figs I might have to start customizing
