customizing help

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

So I am thinking of getting a torso off ebay. It is a JVC nunchuck body.

What I really want to know is if a Johnny Cage head will fit in it without too much modding. I can't seem to find my JVC nunchuck, so if anyone could help me out, that would be fantastic.

I'm gonna say 'no' simply because the JvC neck sockets only allowed flat-bottomed neck balls (for some dumb idiot-ass reason, I'm sure), and were generally smaller than the RAH neck balls. You'll need to do a few minutes of dremeling, I'm sure.

You could always send the head to someone like JFak or Carn and have them cast the head with a JvC neck on it. ;)

Looking at the JvC Nunchuck Torso I've got here...it does use a Ball Jointed head...

Most if not all of the JvC style figures did have Round Neck balls. (Wild Bill, Nunchuck, Dusty, T Crotch Wetsuit, T Crotch Heavy duty, all the other T Crotch figures.

It was the Spy Troops figures who started the Flat bottomed neck balls...(Cross Hairs, Scalple, Recondo.

Construction is really so inconsistant you pretty much have to check the parts to be sure.


Johnny Cange's (Sagat legs, Road Pig Torso, BC Muskrat arms) head will fit...but will require some work...the neck ball is a bit too large and the neck is a tad long from being made to fit the Roadpig body.

Johnny Cage's head is also the size of Sputnik, so I don't really know how well it'll work with that Nunchuk body, proportion-wise.
