Most times it is a ball joint, but it's a hinged ball joint, it has the 2 pieces that slot together to allow for more movement, similar to say the ROML Extremis IronMan, with it the figure can look all the way up and down. Unlike ML where you can in most cases still pop off the head, Neca has often times a small peg with a large plug on the inside of the head so if you pull hard you will get it off but it won't go back on,.. without the help of glue. Myself I did this when making my Tony Stark custom, I used a ML Professor X figure and thought I could just pull the head off and put the IM one on,... wrong! I got the professor head off but the next joint was fucked, I ended up just glueing the Tony Stark Headsculpt onto it. I mean with enough time, patience, money and dremel tools you can make just about anything fit, but even if you can easily pop the head off, chances are it's only going to fit so many figures as the sculpts and neck sizes all vary.
