I've done it with Mystery Minis to kitbash stuff. You probably enhanced the joint to the ear with your superglue compared to what glue they used before.
And don't worry about /toy/'s opinion. I like some Funko POP figures too. I don't really like the human characters, but the monster designs that don't look like a POP! do appeal to me.
