Question regarding Becky Lynch head swapping

[averagejoe]

Hey, I'm a long time action figure collector but just started venturing into the WWE realm within the past year.

As a collector, one of my biggest pet peeves is over/undersized heads. I notice this with the Ultimate Edition Becky Lynch. Since then, I've been trying to find a more scaled and suitable head for that Ultimate Edition body but have been hesitant to pull the trigger due to my lack of knowledge with WWE figures. I've heard collectors suggesting how great the Battle Pack 66 head looks with the Ultimate Edition body but due to inconvenience, I am looking for other options.

My question for you customizers is will the Elite Series 85 Becky Lynch or Basic Series 115 Becky Lynch heads be a suitable replacement on the Ultimate Edition body? As long as the head scan looks accurate, scales better and the skin tone matches, that's all that I want. I don't even care if the peg hole is too short/tall because I can always hot glued or dremeled it a little.

My apologies if this thread or a similar one had been created.

Thank you.

I will say I've heard of several people mentioning doing this and being happy about it.

I, personally, used Elite 72 because I already had it and I think it's great. I can't be 100% certain (since I dont have the new one) but I think the E85 head is the same base mold as the E72, but the hair piece is different.

For the record, the Ultimate Edition is based on when she main evented WM and, in that match, she had her hair down (with a braid). But it's up to you if you want to try it.

Maybe ask on the "Official Fix Up" board over on the Mattel section. This part of the board is pretty dang dead.
