I've been getting more into customizing figures lately, and am curious as to what other action figure heads work with the Star Wars 3.75" figures. I know GI Joe Retaliation, Rise of Cobra lines work but sometimes those figures can get a bit pricey. I've also come across the Indiana Jones figures, and the Marvel figures are ok but a lot of the heads have masks on them which I'm not looking for.
The reason I want to use other lines, for example, is this: I'm in the process of making a figure of rebel pilot Olin Garn from X-wing Alliance. He is African-American. I had a custom of him before, but it was with the old articulation. I'm updating him so he has the modern articulation. The head I was using was Mace Windu. Whenever I looked at the figure I always said "That's just Mace Windu in X-wing gear." I just can't use one character's head for a custom and say "Oh this is so-and-so." I ended up picking up a Roadblock figure from the GI Joe 25th Anniversary line.
I'm looking for the heads that are the "pull-n-pop" type.

What about a poc Heavy Duty or a renegades Ripcord head?

Thanks Clint. I ended up getting the Roadblock figure for Olin Garn. Those 2 you mentioned are pretty good but I needed someone who was bald. I was curious as to what other figures I can use besides GI Joe, Indy and Marvel.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. For me, if its a Star Wars custom and I need a particular head, I'm gonna look outside of Star Wars.
