I recently purchased some WCF's with the intention of doing Dragon Stars head swaps. I saw the potential for Hit, Zamasu, Gowasu, Black and even Merged Zamasu.
Unfortunately, none of the newer WCF characters have unnattached heads that slide onto pegs like older releases. The heads are attached at a seal on the underneck(?)
*UPDATE:
Being somewhat impatient, i approached with a thin swiss army keychain-blade that was able to be inserted into small crevices where the neck meets head.
Zamasu and Gowasu were actually attached the same as the old style WCF's. The thing is, they were glued as well... head pulling, neck stretching/extending, and full 360 head turning was neccessary. That and some blade insertion eventually made them come off rather clean to my surprise, but only after much persistence and worry of breaking the figure.
The goku Blacks were a much more ardent ordeal. i had to essentially excavate the neck from the head using repetitive deep inserts of the blade. I thought i was screwing everything up, but they are hollowed out once you get to a certain point in the head. The WCF' heads fit well enough on figuarts and dragon stars neck pegs, albeit some pushing and forcing.
i havent received my wcf hit head yet so i just tried to color him purple and panel line.

Gotta say, I'm having fun with dragon stars and applaud their character choices so far. Glad the sculpts are starting to live up to that. Bring on Jiren, Cabba, and Kale

Great job! Question!
