    Seeking Teen Titan size Mego Robin Head

    Looking to make a teen titan sized Mego Robin. Need to start with a head first so I'm hoping a member here know where I can one.
    Also, anyone have a teen titan body or recommend one like maybe a some other body similar.
    As for the head, a RM Robin would be cool but also a masked one will work too.

    Thanks!

          Got Bri's at the Meet and it's dead on to the Super Friends style, but be warned once you get it you're gonna want the Batman too. It's an awesome pair side by side.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

            I shrunk a mego Robin head in Acetone and it looks amazing on a Lion Rock body now. It is a little hard and feels like Rezin now but the shrinking worked out fine. It was sort of an accident it came out perfect. You can find Mego Robin heads all over eBay and expirment with. It does work. Just have paitence.

              I shrunk a Mego Robin head in acetone and it looks just as goofy as it does on the 8" figure. I mean, I love my goofy Mego Robin, but the sculpt doesn't really look like the comic artwork. Next to the really nice sculpts on Speedy, Aqualad and Kid Flash, the shrunken Robin is missing something. There are much nicer options available, just from board members.



              I was looking at some model kits with nice sculpts. Has anyone experimented with these? I have one of those Revell reissues, and I haven't had time to work on it, but I was comparing it to Speedy. The head is a tad smaller, but could probably be made to work, especially if you want an "action pose" Robin instead of a smiley one.

                If you are not into experimenting with acetone, I think Doc Mego has one available.

                  It's hard to tell from that tiny photo, but I always thought the "masked boy head" was a resin Speedy.

                    Well, now; that just may be a Speedy head. I've never ordered one, just seen that text about a thousand times. 'sidekick' and 'scaled' always made me think it was a shrunken Robin head. It would certainly be best to ask the Doc on that one before ordering.

                      Thanks everyone for the advice.
                      I really like the classic Mego head for Robin. Had one when I was a kid so has a sentimental spot in my heart. But I've always wanted a proper scale one too. Just didn't seem right having a Robin the same size as Batman.
                      Del, I like how it turned out.
                      Rche, I saw that too but scrolling down Doc also has the youth head, AKA Unmasked Robin.
                      So would Acetone work on this one as well? Never shrunk a head before so how would I go about doing it? Does de-color the head?
                      Also where do I get a Lion Rock body?
                      Much appreciated folks.

                      Del, thanks so much for the pink reroot. My daughter LOVES it and has on display with her pink haired Blythe doll.
