    Austin, Thanks Man!

    I want to take this opportunity to send Austin of reproheads.com a big thanks. Back when he had his sale on custom head re-sizing he took on a boat-load of problematic Playmates style figures for me to be re-sized. Tho the task was tedious and progress was slow he delivered my heads to me at Mego Meet and just surpassed my expectations. Here's one example of the results:



    The pics are in my gallery and don't do the heads justice. He will be offering these on his site soon. I am using a poor man's version of a Macro-Lens, ( a magnifying glass), so if you think any of these are distorted looking it's not the head-it's the camera.

    And I want to thank Austin for letting me know that there is premade taco meat at WalMart.

        Thanks for the love John. And thanks for your patience. I still have a few heads to finish for some other people, but I am close. You are right, it is a tedious job, but the results are worth it, especially if you can make a Mego Christopher Lloyd Klingon.

        Thanks again.

        Austin
