I think it should be it, yeah. I remember someone talking about it earlier in this topic, and recommended it. But like I said, get both of them and then experiment to see if you can get it close.

Okay, I took the head off Loki and tried putting it on the ball joint of the Tron figure. Besides not fitting without modifying it looks like someone stuck a small head on the shoulders. So what I am going to do is cut the ball off the Tron figure, cut the neck off Loki and stick it on the Tron figure. That I think will look better. So for that would super glue be good enough?

Well, I think Super Glue can work (just don't use the Super Glue's model glue. That stuff melts the plastic in order for the pieces to bond). Testor's regular modeling glue should also work, but keep in mind that it doesn't stick and bind as quick as Super Glue.

You taking the neck off the body of Loki and using it to replace TRON's neck is possible. I mean, a user at Figure Realm did it with this figure, but using a Star Wars action figure.

Not Tron's neck, Castor's. And he has a visible neck where most of them don't so I think it will look better. Also I have had no good experience with model glues but the super glue I have works really good!

I get what you're saying, but I was using the TRON figure as an example of the neck swapping being able to be done. I apologize for any confusion.

But yeah, Super Glue is definitely good. And I can say for certain that the Super Glue model glue melts the plastic (as I have used it before). So, definitely use the regular Super Glue.

dont you wish rinzler was released like this?hehe


tron, my first custom! not good with paint so havent repainted. not good with circuitry either so havent changed any lights. had to dremel a hole into the head and trim the sides a bit. the head came from a gi joe fig. i think. i didnt know it. i just got the head from a very random store and didnt pay anything. the original figure was i think a custom itself, it looked like a mashup of different parts. head looked a lot like young alan bradley from original tron. doesnt look like it from these pics but theres a big resemblance. also did some adjustments covering gaps in spinmaster's paintjob with a black marker.hehe

pics are very bad quality, i will take more with a better cam.

Very nice. Which head did you use for Rinzler? Looks a wee bit tiny but I'm wondering if it is because of the neck.

cyanoacrylate. best kind of glue you can get. Anything else won't form a good bond.

So what type of glue has that or is its own glue?

Lots of glues. Testors makes a cyanoacrylate glue, Hobby Town has it's own brand... just about any hobby or craft store will have it, and some office supply stores. Just check the label.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I just used krazy glue to attach the new neck to the body and it seems to be on there good. None of my turning of the head has caused it to come off yet.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Loctite is a collector's best friend. I use it all the time on customs and general fixes. It should be an essential part in every collector's house.

Do you still have the body? If you put up a pic we could probably ID it.
