Help with a head peg

Customs

I’m still new to taking Legends apart and putting them back together. I’ve seen plenty about how to make a head fit on a smaller peg, but what can you do to make one fit on a bigger peg? Is there an option besides a Dremel? I’ve Googled quite a bit, so any help would be great.

I just got into customizing and don’t own a dremel. To make a head fit on a bigger peg I usually just use a drill bit with sharp edges and heat it up until it fits. If the hole becomes too big then I just fill it with a bit of clay.

Depending on how extensive you want to go, swapping torsos might be easier than dremeling a neck peg.

If that works for you, then that's cool, but from my experience, cracking a torso for a swap is going to be likely the most labor intensive thing you can do, and it can't always be done reliably. Modding the neck peg is generally easier than torso swapping.

this might be rlly tuff but extreamly hot water on both the peg and the hed and if u have something that would be even hotter then the water use that u basically gotta make the head sculpt gummy,but i doubt ur gonna be able to take it off and put it back on again

Hot water does the trick

I started with hot water. Couldn’t force it in.

I have used an exacto knife to trim down the peg. It isn't perfect, the head doesn't have great movement but it works.

That’s probably going to be my best bet. I care more about the head sculpt than the body. Thanks.
