Fred/Illyria Custom Question

[Shannon]

I know lots of people have made Fred customs using Shells Illyria body
I dont want anything extreme
But I like her alot more in a skirt
Is there a way that I can switch their heads but keep the articulation
On top of that I want to just cut off the pony tails on Fred and put the Illyria hair on her, but Ill color in the blue parts brown
I know lots of people have done it, switching the heads or hair or anything, or maybe Im just crazy
So if anyone can help that would be great
Thanks

You could switch the heads really easily with the boil and pop method, and you won't loose any articulation. As far as the hair, that will take a little more work, you would have to sand down freds hair A LOT to get Illyria's hair on her, but it can be done.

can it work the same for Angel heads, DST
I want Season 5 on Vamps body for the jacket
Thats like the same right?
THanks, Jinxieman
PS - is the paint going to get all messed up
I remember when I boiled Spike, his black outfit faded and was like rubbing off, it was gross
will that happen with Fred, Illyria or Angel?

[Jinxieman]

Yes it will work with the Angels and I have never had a problem with Fred or Illyria. To remove their heads you don't need to boil them for too long so don't over do it. Other joints might take a little longer. Putting them in boinling water in a pot on the pan is better than in a mug in the microwave. The mug in the m-wave is faster but I have had paint problems that way.
