*edit* And, now that I've found the new Target Winters, I realized I loved, loved, loved the blue and yellow shell, but could do without the purple "whites" and eyelash of the head on the turtle... Soooooo, I switched the terrarium turtle's head with it! Here's a shot of the new turtle, and a body and a head so you can see what they look like disassembled. After taking those comparison shots, I realized the butterflies looked like they had the wrong heads. So, a few strong tugs and shoves, and we get the following, a much more coordinated set:

Wow...I didn't realize you could swap heads like that! I think I snapped one of the necks once trying to do that.
Is there a special way?

Oh...yeah, how do you get the heads to go back on so neatly? I've done some customs, but I can never get the heads to fit back on properly...

Hmmm.... I've popped off heads a lot and never broken any. The only thing that I've done is had the head deattach from the bobble piece (like, the glue wasn't strong enough, and off it popped). But usually I just grab the head underneath the bottom of it, holding on to the plastic circular insert, and pull REALLY hard straight up (it's quite tight ). Getting them back in is the hard part, because the bobble head piece pushes almost all the way in to the head. Usually I just try to put it in at an angle, and then twist and push a lot, really firmly. Eventually it'll sink all the way in (but there will be a lot of false positives, so if you think it's in, and you haven't been twisting very long, it probably isn't. Give it a tug ). I think I've done this to about 10 or 12 pets, maybe? The only one that won't pop off is the goldfish. Him, you've gotta cut off after deassembling the tank. Thanks for the nice words!

Aww so cute! Much more coordinated I didn't realize you could rip their heads off without breaking them. I would be worried about snapping them off

I've definitely never had one snap, but I have had the glue release around the insert. Even that, though, only happened once out of probably twenty head swaps . Thanks for all the nice words! I added a turtle up there .
