Yep. And yep. I’d actually forgotten I’d modified the head. Just took an X-acto knife and removed the mic. I really have no use for the cool Alpha-Team heads with mic’s. The same thing was done for the female head as it’s also an A-T head originally. :)

Ah. AT heads might be the only heads I would modify (I’m strictly a purist).

Does the knife create any indention in the head where the mike was, or are you able to scrape the printing off by itself without damaging the head?



Well.. it depends on how cross eyed I get and how shakey my hand is at any given time. :) I’ve got a few heads that weren’t badly marked and a few that are. In my personal experiences with the Alpha Team heads where the blade removes the paint it does tend to remove the surface ‘finish’/shine from the ABS.. but again, if I do it right, that’s minimal. I’ve done a couple “Jet” heads that way from Rock Raiders as well, removing the mic so I’d have more female faces and one is horrible, the other couple weren’t bad.
