    Custom Figure/Head Creators...

    Hi. Does anyone here, or does anyone know of people, that do custom figure/head requests? Thank you for your time. 🙂

    I’m going to guess that this type of question is forbidden here.

      That's a poor guess. People here are usually eager to share info, it also depends on the traffic. But the fact is, the amount of hobbyists here willing to do sewing or sculpting commissions had decreased dramatically over the years. In fact, some of them are now working for new Mego or other companies.

      You may get more responses if you can be more specific about what sculpt you'd like.

        I might suggest taking a look at the figures in the Finished Customs section, introducing yourself, and then contacting the customizers whose styles you enjoy to see if they take commissions.

          the answer is yes - but be prepared - i've paid anywhere from $200-$350 for a custom head sculpt.

            I've done sewing/ clothing prototype work for people on spec and then when I quoted a price, they passed so I don't even bother anymore with it. Well I got a nice Holmes type cape out of it anyway.

              I appreciate the replies. I wasn’t sure if I asked a bad question. Thank you. I’d like to have a figure or a head sculpt of Rod Serling that would be an 8” figure or the head could be put on an 8” body. Thank you, again. ��

                There was just such a sculpt here years ago when the 8" TZ line was produced. Try contacting member MegoWGSH about it--he may recall who cast it. I don't recall if it was original or a shrink of the 12" Sideshow figure.

                  There was this one:
                  I've been working on this one for a few weeks now and finally got him finished up last week. The body is a Bif Bang Pow TZ grey swivel arm body, the head is a resin cast head that I got from Joe DeRouen that is sculpted by James Brady, the suit and shoes are from Doc Mego and I slightly tapered the bell bottoms for a more

                    Yes, that's it! Thank you, Paul. I didn't realize it was a Brady sculpt.

                        Im also looking for custom heads, especially a Margot Kidder. And Neil Hamilton. Am I just missing the ebay listings, and does MegoMuseum have a marketplace anymore?

                          Ralph, what are you looking for? I might have something that you can use.

                            He was looking for Rod Serling.

                            Still want to see more Aquatroy heads , would love to see Hulk and Spidey in your style.

                              Rod Serling? I thought I might have something in the vault that I could use. Of well.

                              I'm close to having a Dr. Doom and Wildcat head finished. I've a good start on what might be a Mar-vell, Jonny Quick, or Steve Rogers Nomad head.

                              Btw, Merry Christmas T Bolt!
