    Information needed about Lex Luthor heads

    Hey all,
    So I'm debating on which head to use for a custom Mego-me. I plan to use a Lex head and send it off to get rooted hair installed. Between the two, Mattel & FTC, are there any things I should know as far as quality or size? I've never seen either in person and I may want to do both eventually because of the expressions. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I love the Mattel one: IMO, it's perfect.

      I'd go with the Mattel one, I made a custom using that head on a mego Riddler body.

        Mattel RAH Luthor is the best.

          Thanks guys, appreciate it. The CTVT one looks okay, and I do raise my eyebrow, which it looks like what he's doin, but the quality and size of the head were a concern.
          And even tho its technically Mattel...Doc was involved, so thats a plus.

            I could be wrong, but I am guessing from some comparative photos that the CTVT one may be more in scale with a 9.5" Mego-scale (like Ming), rather than an 8" Mego-scale.

              That's kinda what it looked like to me. And I have been reading up on FTC quality and criticisms, but didnt find any mention of Lex.

              I'm hoping I can find the RAH head kinda on the cheap side for the project.
              If any of you are interested, I'm making a mego-me as a member of the KISS ARMY.
              So I'm sure to be asking many questions about parts that I could use or modify for use to complete him.
              Thanks for all the replies,
              Mike

                You can't go wrong with the Mattel head.
