Anybody know of an existing Mego scaled top hat available out there?
I dont think they would be too hard to make if it came down to it?

Penguin heads are pretty cheap and easy to come by. If all else fails, you could cut his hat off. The local craft store(AC Moore) sometimes has top hats in the dollmaking section. Sometimes they have Mego-scale ones and sometimes they don't.Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?

I couldnt bring myself to deface (or dehat as the case may be) a Mego. I never thought of checking out a dollmaking section of a craft store. Thanks!!"Crayons taste like purple!"Comment

And they also wouldn't be that hard to make. If you can draw circles, I'm sure you can do it

You don't have to feel bad about ruining a Mego penguin as there are plenty of damaged heads out there. I have had two damaged penguins myself over the past year. One had a slit throat and the other had his face burned but both hats would've been fine for a donor job like you're talking about. I'm pretty sure I sold both as TLC parts in one of my sales.

I would forget about trying to use The Penguin as a source for the Top Hat.
See, I once tried the operation that's been suggested here. I took a damaged MEGO penguin head, carefully cut off the Top hat portion of the head sculpt, and tried to fashion it into a wearable head gear.
But aesthetically speaking the resulting hat was FAR too small for use on the average MEGO's head. It ended up looking like a dinky clown hat.
Also, the wall thickness of vinyl inside the "hat" was considerable (since it was part of a head casting and not cast as an accessory).
Even with drilling out with a rotary tool, the hat ended up being too small to be really wearable. It sat clumsily on top of the head rather than fitting properly over the upper crown of the figure's cranium as it should.I... am an action figure customizerComment
