Balding he-Man fix - Step by step

[He-bro]

I just got some more He-Man figures from Matty, and of course all of them have hair too high on their head issues, some worse then others, so I made a page with big pictures and step by step showing both what causing the issue and how to fix it:

Check it out and let me know what you think:

Very helpful!! Does super glue work well, or do you use some other kind? Also, I want to paint my He-man's hair a brighter yellow, so what's a good brand of paint for MOTUC customizing?

Yes, crazy glue works fine. just don't use a lot. I recommend the gel kind cause it gives you a little more to time adjust before it dries. as for the painting the hair. If you go with a brighter yellow. After it dries, I recommend dry brushing a darker shade of yellow or even a brown to bring out the sculpt details.

I may take your advice. I've already painted, and I'm really happy with it, but something just doesn't seem to be quite perfect yet. I used acrylic paint, which is water saluable; does anyone know if water will still wash the paint off after it's dried for a while? Never customized other than a failed attempt on a disco skeletor (turned out great, but the paint was still sticky after it should have dried, because I used enammel paint :/ )

Also I'm considering using a small dab of paint for glue, so that it will be easier to remove if I ever need to.

Thanks for the tutorial He-bro,this will be helpful just like the one you posted some time ago about how to correct King Hisss shoulders.

Warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush will do the trick to remove acrylic/latex paint, it gets in all the nooks and crannies!

Also good to give the figure a bath in this solution and a good once over w/ the brush before painting so the paint adhere's better.

Factory residue is every customizers worst enemy!
