Don't think this thread has been migrated over yet.

Post your easy Legends Part Swap Customs here!
 
Finally found a good use for this extra head:

I’m looking to replace the hair and make a Scott Leva Spider-man. Is hair swapping doable? I know this figure has separate hair
 
Reviving an older thread but - has anyone ever done any head swaps on Dum Dum Dugan's body (from the three pack)? I'm trying to figure out the the most economical way to get a spare Fury and Sharon body and wondering if I could just get a second set and do head swaps on all three bodies. If it's got a standard peg I'd love to just pop one of the SHIELD agent helmets on it and make him a bruiser anonymous agent.
 
I put the Fury head on that body and it works great, probably other heads will work as well. I’ll see if I can try some later.

Thanks. I'm really just hoping ANY head that will work as a random SHIELD agent will work. Maybe an unmasked Cap figure could be Clay Quartermain.

If I remember right, those anonymous helmeted S.H.I.E.L.D. trooper heads look good, but are a bit loose and wobbly.

Dang. I do have a box of heads I can try out (of all the things only action figure collectors say...) but it's more economical to get a second set with some Amazon points since I want an extra Nick and Sharon than it is to buy those two individually on eBay, so I think I'll just keep popping heads on Dum Dum's neck til I find one that works.

I may have to take the Old Man Hawkeye head off of the spare Trevor/Mandarin body I stuck him on last night to make a random sorcerer and see if that fits. (Is Old Man Hawkeye's non-sunglasses head the most useful head sculpt ever made? He looks great on almost every buck.)

So I got around to testing this out, and my generic SHIELD trooper helmet on the Dum Dum body was not loose at all, fortunately - he actually looks fantastic. I now head-canon that that trooper talks like Patrick Warburton, somewhere between the Tick and Kronk.

Had to break my Target boycott for my fav, then promptly chopped her legs off and glued chopped off Dark Phoenix legs on.

Looks good! What's the best method for chopping as cleanly and accurately as possible?

I boiled both figures first, made the cuts with an X-Acto knife, used the dremel to sand them down, superfine sandpaper to sand them down more, re-boiled them for softness/pliability, then superglued the parts together.

I’d recommend drilling a pin into the leg above the boot and into the boot to reinforce the bond. Bending at the knee will put stress on the join, and the boot can snap off. It’s happened to lots of my older customs.
