    I don't know about a globe, but if you want one that is more cylindrical, the clear top to Garnier Fructis hair mousse works well.

      There are always Christmas ornaments that work well for that. I often hit the 90% off season sales at Walmart each January looking for things like that. I did a 12 inch version of that character that I put up in the custom auction at the Meet a couple of years back.
      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          I did not even think of that. We have an all year round christmas store here, I will have to go look and see if I can find a in scale plastic clear globe that will work perfectly.

          Any Pics of that 12 " you made ?

            I used a glass snowglobe from the Dollar Tree. You can use a much smaller head and fill it with water to get refreaction that makes the head look bigger. Plus its a dollar, buy spares, I broke one getting it right.

              Paul Evans has one that's pretty cool, but it's not round. DaveMc used it for his Freeze.

              Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.

                  ^^^ It looks like a bubble gum machine capsule.

                      Looks like it's time to hit up the supermarket to find a dome.

                        Thanks PNGwynne, I decided to go with this option. The Fructis top is what I picked up. It works nicely. It's not the globe , but I am happy with it.

                        Anyone have a suggestion on getting it attached ? I have some ideas but I want to pick brains and see if anyone has better options.

                          Got pics of it? If I had to guess, use the top of the bottle too. Where the dome cap attaches for the base.

                            Bingo!

                            Glad my suggestion was helpful, Jason. I've not completed my Mr. freeze yet (I'm considering a printed '70s suit). But my thought is to make a large mock-turtleneck-type collar to tuck the dome into. The collar could be lined/reinforced with thin craft foam, and the helmet secured with velcro or snaps applied to the dome sides & the inside of the collar. I figure the dome needs secured a bit to accommodate the tension of the tank tubing.
