    Don or Alter Ego Head

    Hello, I just received a box of parts in the mail. In it was a Superman head with very light copy on the back of his head. The flesh is light in color. I was wondering if this is a Don head, Alter Ego head or just Superman.

      A lot of Superman figures have light copyright info. Clark is darker in skin tone. I can't see the pictures either.

              I have a couple dons,its hard to tell for sure ,the skin tone does not look quite like the figures i have ,it could be a early superman.
              however you never know.Early supes were more pale ,and laters tan just as you have i dont have a clark .consult Bens holcombs book,
              which is a great resource.Dons head is also pale ,so its hard to tell with some pics.Don and Clark have no markings,or they are really
              faint,some Supermans have markings that are not as pronounced as others.

                They look like two type 2 Superman heads to me. If it's a Don head, I would assume that it would have a longer neck plug. Being that Don came on a Type "O" body or Type 1 Body. Never had a Don figure...but it should be a Type 1 or Type O head and they would have longer neck plugs. Just my 2 cents.

                  A long time ago I picked up what I thought was a Don figure. It had the very pale head like yours with just very faint almost not there markings on the neck. The figure was wearing an AJ cycle outfit. In the end I found out is was just as BM said it was just a very pale Supes head. It had the same neck plug as yours also.

                    The Don head is like the very early Solid Box Supeman head sculpt. There is a slight shift in the squareness of the jaw line on those early heads.

                      There was a great thread on this once where someone posted a color chart based on my pic. This shot featured an original boxed Don, Solid box Superman and AE/SI Clark Kent, T1 window box Superman and T2 window box Superman. It should give you most accurate comparison of the different tones etc.

                          Thank you, Everyone for the information. But now I have another question. Do the Alter Ego heads have a type 1 or type 2 neck plug?
