The difference in size between FTC's original sculpts and the reproduced Mego ones is easy to see, and I like the size of the smaller Space 1999 reproduction heads. It's strange how this problem has been evident in other lines, such as BBP's Battlestar Galactica and Six Million Dollar Man. Whatever the cause, it seems that multiple companies have failed to solve the problem. The EMCE/Diamond Star Trek and Apes seem to have avoided this with even the new sculpts matching in size with the reproductions, maybe Doc has a better understanding of what causes the big head syndrome since his projects seem to have been able to avoid it.

IDK, it may be choice of sculptors, too and not merely production. I honestly don't know. But Mego could screw up, too--ChiPs anyone? Galactica was a heartbreaker for me. TZ & Ventures seem solid.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I think it also depends on what is considered an acceptable head size by QC. The majority seems happy with the Batman '66 heads even tho they are larger than CHiPs heads. And if '66 are the ruler for an acceptable head size, a head that is even slightly larger than that ends up REALLY big.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

I agree, and if someone would cast it with no visible ears, or covered ears, I'd buy a dozen!!Customizing 1:9: My Videoblog journey of Customizing!

Sadly, mr. long face is who you will get with CTVT. Might work good on an over-sized Electro head. If you don't mind oversize.
This is what I mean when I talk about a 'Classic Mego Style'. It's ok when it's a bit small. It's ok if it's a bit big. Just don't sell me a 9-10 inch scale as if it works with an 8 inch scale! Or visa versa.
Head design/scale is job number one.Comment
