When the deluxe figures came out DST advertised that you can swap their heads. How? I want to put Hawaiin human Angel head on Destiny Angel body. How can I do it? Is it boil and pop?

I tried and it won't work! I don't want to snap the head. Any suggestions? Or do I just need to pull harder?

I push the head forward (push from the back of his head downward towards their chest) and it just kinda pops out. Don't worry, it's pretty easy to do and they don't break very easy. (the deluxes anyway)

I did it! I think I was just being over cautious.

Is it possible to swap even the Buffy/Faith heads?

Cool, thanks... I know I should try but I'm afraid it'll break... And if it breaks, I'll have to buy new ones, and it will take TWO MONTHS to arrive here ... I just hate how long I have to wait to get my Buffy figs! =/

The Buffy and Faith figures are very different from the Angel/Spikes in relation to the head attachment. The Angel and Spikes have a relatively large peg that's separate from the neck and head; with the Buffy and Faith's the pin is part of the neck sturcture (it's the cog you can see directly under their chin/neck and doesn't come apart from the neck (well, unless you rip that whole joint apart and I have on my EOD Buffy). So for Faith and Buffy I definitely recommend a boil n pop. Once I popped them off, I trimmed the edge around the pin that holds it in the head hole so it's easier to pop off without a boil but still stays on firmly. ANgel and Spike's pegs are in such big holes that they pop out pretty easy without any special treatment - but I could never get Buffy and Faith to do that.

Buffy/Faith have their heads on a hinged neck, it's not a peg like Angel and Spike. I'd be wary of trying to do a head swap with them. And really, when they have the same body why would you want to? A repaint would be safer.

I swapped my Willow head onto one of the Deluxe bodies to make my custom Chosen Willow (can't wait for the real one! <grin>). So yeah, unless you're doing a whole new character like that, I'd be careful (like DanMan says).
Good luck with whatever you're doing!

Thanks everyone! Yes, I do think repainting really is safer, I was just wondering if that was possible, to swap the Buffy heads...

I was wanting to do a head swap with a Spike head to a Wesley body in order to make a Smallville Brainiac/Prof. Fine custom, but is there any way to do that with a deluxe Spike head, which I think is a much better sculpt than the S5 Spike? Are the neck joints at all compatible?
