Finished Head Swap

Take the MPC head, and poke a mark in the bottom, does not need to be deep, just centered.  I use an awl and it works great.  MPC head is from a brittle figure who was crumbling, but the heads seem to stay good for a long time.
Drill a tiny pilot hole.
Then a larger hold almost but not quite as large in diameter at the wire. Here I am using left over wire from the construction of the scorpion cage.
I use Loctite super glue ultragel control.  It is slightly flexible and so works well in this application.
After putting a drop of glue on the pin, insert the pin into the hole in the body.  Then a second drop of glue on the exposed end of the pin and add the head.
The figure will be painted army men green like the previous version of this figure.
Here with some not brittle MPC figures.
