Remember that Professor Xavier head I used for the Silver Surfer? Well I found a use for the body. As cool(and funny) as it is that the movie Xavier's legs are all wobbly, I wanted something more. He wasn't incredibly posable, and he had that stupid action when you made the wheelchair move. I didn't like that. So, I decided to put a Movie Xavier head onto a Marvel Legends Xavier body. Which was harder than it sounds. Mostly(entirely actually...) because the Marvel Legends Xavier has a neck with a peg for the head. While the Movie Xavier has the neck connected to the head with a plug that fits into a hole in the body. You can see the complications. So how did I fix this problem? Dremmeling. And a lot of it. I cut the plug off, sanded down the neck, then sanded a groove into the bottom of the head to ensure a snug fit on the neck, and drilled a hole into his head, and there you have it. The head can come off, but only as easily as a figure with an interchangable head. And after that description I realize now how violent and disgusting customizing figures must sound to people who don't know what you're talking about...haha. Tune in next time.

Thanks. I like this much better. Wasn't happy with the posability of the movie figure. I also had took the peg holes off of the Movie Xavier's wheelchair, and glued them on the ML Xavier's wheelchair, so I could have him still wearing the Cerebro helmet. The ML wheelchair is almost exactly the same, only there are pegs on the foot holders so his feet won't slide off and there's no weird action to it.

Yeah that looks great, much better than the movie figure, but it looks like him from the movie.

Haha, that probably would work better, but this was all I had handy and I thought it would be fun. I think it works fine, but I'll keep that Picard head in mind for later if I decide to change it. I'm not really a big fan of the Movie Xavier head, but like I said it was all I had of Patrick Stewart in plastic form. It's better than the gimpy ones, eh? :P

Cool, I like that Picard head for Xavier a lot more than the ML version, it looks older and wiser like Prof X should look!
Yeah, just try having a conversation about customizing out in public...so then I had to rip her legs off because they weren't cooperating with my plans!
