@magnusprimal 

I have the "Bro Thor" head on him as an alternative look. Did not like the shouting head he came with. The head I'm referring to is the Casual Thor BAF.  

Thanks!  That’s actually one of the options I was thinking about. If you will indulge me, I have two more questions:  do you have any pictures, and which figure did that come with, if you can recall.

@magnusprimal Beyond Thunderdome Painted Heads on eBay sells this great repainted Mythic Legions cast. I heated and popped the ponytail on the stock head & dremeled a hole into the cast. Pops in and allows for full rotation - all ponytails should be made this way on factory heads. Need to retouch the paint - hand slipped a lil bit.

Holy crap, I didn’t see this at first. Thanks for the reply, and this looks great!

I immediately went to eBay, but he doesn’t have a blond one listed at the moment. At least not that I could find. 
Does anyone know if the head from the MOTU Masterverse figures would fit?  The Battle Armor He-Man head might work in a pinch. Not perfect, but acceptable to me.

Thank you!

i’m not sure how well I can do the ponytail mod, so I may just leave him with a short hair.

I am hoping/assuming that the head fits right out of the package? No mods necessary for that?

Though looking at it now, that head is kinda big.

I ordered one as well - in the description he states that not all heads will fit snugly and he recommends using blu-tack (or something else, I can't recall) to keep it in place.

That particular head was fitted for that Thor/Thunderstrike neck when I ordered a while back, so it should pop right on.

@insaniac Woo! That's great to hear. I was hoping that was the case but didn't want to get my hopes up considering the disclaimer he had. Thanks again for sharing your pics of the head! Looking forward to getting mine.

I had an extra Biker Black Widow and swapped her arms onto Sharon Carter cuz they're textured.

The figure was Avengers Endgame Iron Patriot. 

Warning - that figure or the Thor heads seperately go for an inflated price on the aftermarket. I got mine when the wave hit retail.

Our very own @ibentmyman-thing posted this gorgeous comic Agatha Harkness head to his instagram earlier, and had six up for sale on eBay. I was fortunate enough to grab one that will go on the cheap Agatha I picked up from Target.com yesterday. They sold out quick, but he said in the comments he's got more on the way. Really stoked to get this, thanks Benty!

Saw that as well. Had no desire for that figure, and now I feel like I need to find it in case Benty puts more heads up.
