Maybe you should add to be extra careful when removing paint from the body with pure acetone... You have to be really fast and careful with that, or it will melt the plastic.

You could always order them online from an American site. Here they're only $15-30 US dollars, however that translates into your currency. It may be the same cost though.

For anyone who may come across this, I used Goo Gone. It takes the paint RIGHT off.
I had it sitting around my house already, so it saved me some money.

Regular nail polish (even the kind that says it has acetone) will smear the paint and cause stains (especially on Draculaura's pink skin, lesson learned the hard way). 100% pure acetone will not harm the plastic when you use it to just remove makeup with a swab or cotton ball. If you were to soak the entire head in the stuff, then yes, problems could arise, so I definitely wouldn't advise anyone to do that. Acetone is designed to soften and melt acrylic nails, after all. Acetone wipes it completely clean and won't smear the factory paint. Just scrub the head down with some mild detergent afterward to cleanse the plastic of any residue and air dry.

You have some good tips.
I find the MH heads soft enough to come off with out heat.
I need to do one of these some day. I do things a little differently.
I cut the hair before head removal, remove the anchor, don't pour acetone into the head, use hemostats to pull the hair, and seal the head with vinyl glue.
