6YE head on other bodies

I would like to use a 6YE head on a WM Dolls body, but there are no adapters available for 6YE.
Therefore, I would have to either modify the head or the body.

I tried to unscrew the neck pin, but it didn't budge with the force I dared to apply on it. It looks like it might be screwed in, but it could also be baked or glued in place. Does anyone know the construction details of the 6YE neck head assembly?

Has anyone tried to do this kind of mod for a doll to create a hybrid?

Yes, but it is extensive and requires a smaller wm head, with no guarantee of perfection. You would first have to remove the eyes, then carefully peel the TPE from both skulls. The 6ye face has protrusions that fit into the skull and must be removed to fit on a WM skull. Adjust as necessary.

orchido,
Can you please take a picture of the bottom of your 6ye head?
They have three options, m16, generation 1 and generation 2.
If your face has no threads then it should be a G1 or G2.
Once we know that we can move on forward or you can try the idea above.
Best,
Jeff

I believe it's G1. It doesn't have the 2 extra tabs of G2.

Wow, that's a radical mod. I'm not quite ready to try something that advanced, at least not yet.

I have the same problem. Is there a solution?

The steel pin is glued to the threads in the scull plate so I was not able to unscrew it. W-40 and acetone bath was not able to get in there either. It most likely has M16x2 thread as the pin diameter matches the WM neck bolt diameter. So now I'm thinking about drilling the body's neck connector to 15 mm inner diameter in order to allow the pin to drop in there. It won't be a very solid connection, but it should work for light use.

I made a reduction. The length is long enough to hide the pin.
