    What needs to be shrunk to Mego size?

    I'd like to get some Hydroshrink. I just don't know what needs to be shrunk to Mego size. Any ideas?

    I would love to see the 12" Mego heads in 8" scale . . . Magnetic Batman, James Bond, Captain America. . .

      I like the idea shrinking heads from other toy lines.

      Kenners Bionic Bigfoot is #1 on my list, made to work on the BBP figure.
      I know someone has done Stretch Armstrong and the Stretch Monster, but thats something I'd like to see.
      Kenner's 12 inch Star Wars? I have a beater Han somewhere that I never got around to shrinking... At least Luke and Han.
      Any of the Big Jim heads. I think some have been done, but I've never seen Zorak so that would be cool.

      I guess that's my short list. I'll keep thinking...
      Expectation is the death of discovery.

        I think Luke and Han are already out there. There's been a real flurry on the shrink front the past few years. KoD, Zem-21, Pulsar, Hypnos, Mike Powers, Steve Austin.

        Zorak would be cool; I think most of the other BJ heads are available. There were some good Playmates Trek heads in both 9 and 12 inch. There are probably some good 13" DC heads. Electroman?

        How about the original Captain Action sets? It would be a lot of work, but nobody else has them in 8" scale.

        Other than Austin, there isn't an option for a lot of us if we want to deal with someone with a big, diverse inventory. There are several people who do a really good job with a few different heads.

          famous covers heads might be ok because they look oversized on mego bodies.

              Besides what Steve said, the Bionic Bigfoot won't work. His head is attached to his torso, and his "beard" is too low to make a head that turns even if it was modified. Most of your other suggestions have been made.

                FC heads can be shrunk in acetone.

                  That Captain America head needs to be shrunk to fit the 12" body.

                  I think that this is an awesome sculpt. I wonder how many people would be willing to buy an eight inch version of this head. I can get this one for $18 on ebay.

                    Well, sounds like I'll have to do Bionic Bigfoot myself! LOL!

                      I am working on making the recent Captain Action/Captain America head shrinkable. I want a Kirby/Cap figure.
                      Better late than never.....

                        That will be cool!

                          I think the Magnetic Batman sculpt looks like Christian Bale's Batman with the mean expression and the small mask opening.

                            There is a lot of great head canidates out there for shinking.
                            Mego Robin head to a teen-scale would be nice.
                            Always wondered what shinking the Aurora monster heads, would look like compared to recasting the AHIs.


                            I think in most cases of the early FC heads, they are in scale, if you don't count the neck.

                              oooow, how about reducing the Flash Gordon, Ming and Zarkof heads?
