i plan on doing this tomorrow, i saw a HOF Terry Funk today at KMart but didn't get it cause I already got him from RSC a few weeks ago, my only question is how do you do go about doing this?
do you blow dry the figure until you can pop the head off or is there another way to do it?
if i can do this i might do some head swaps like basic Ziggler on the elite body and basic Christian on the elite body

Jakks heads are different from Mattel heads. When you pull a Mattel head off, there is no ball joint in the head, it stays on the figure. When you pop a Jakks head off there is a ball joint in the head. You would have to take the ball joint out and then place it on the Mattel figure.

I'll tell you what though. I ran CS IE Flair's head under some hot water and pryed his head off by pushing on his chin. It was very tight but it came off...with the peg still in the body. So I guess I was lucky. After that it was just popping it on the Terry Funk body.

You weren't necessarily lucky, you just did the process right.

i bought a second Terry Funk today and did this to my figure, I absolutely love it and its a good replacement until Ric Flair eventually gets a Mattel figure whenever that may be, i'll post pics after i charge my camera
just out of curiosity does anyone think Santino knee pads would look good on Flair?

I've investigated this and Nikolai Volkoff's knee pads are the best red knee pad replacements because they are the same mold as Terry Funk's black knee pads. Also George Steele's red boots/white laces are another perfect replacement too.

I've put RA elbow pads on Snuka, Hurricane and my black attired Flair and they work well.
