    Real basic here. Took the StarDino not Swoop and dremeled the gawd awful face off. Sanded enough off the back of the Pterodactyl face to let it sit behind the hinge for the Dino head, then cut away a very tiny amount one flaps the face sits inside of and viola. Little gold and silver metallic sharpie, few spots of red, and some clear coat.BOOM, G1 toy accurate "Generations Swoop!

    I was planning to do the same thing, great mold but terrible head. Still need a replacement Star Cats swoop figure, mine has a broken neck sadly and the repairs didn't go too well. Anyone have an extra they wanna sell?

    Always liked this one and the Slag mold, makes a very nice swoop face works great.
