    Ming the Merciless helmet suggestions?

    I'm working on an 8 inch Ming and using a bald head. Any ideas on a helmet?

    I'm trying to go for the old Filmation cartoon look.

    Modified Roman Helmet? use an Ivanhoe Helemt from CTVT as a base and Sculpt over for the look you want?

      I think the new Mego Romulan helmet would be the best choice.

        I checked into it, and it's a big maybe.

            Yes. WWE made one that fits mego figures or so I'm told.

              I actually have that helm. Its too small for Mego unfortunately.

              more 1:12 scale.

                I just received the 2 knight helmets from CTVT. Didn't realize they were different sizes... was going to switch the face guards but I might be able to alter the silver helmet.

                  IDK, it seems to me the Romulan helmet would be perfect for that skullcap look and you could add crest or brush from another helmet for detailing. Would probably look great painted metallic red or green.

                    I've certainly thought about it... but it might be a bit small for the Hugo Strange head I'm using as the base for Mings head.

                      Yes, probably. I would use a vintage/Emce Klingon for Ming and retouch the face paint.

                      I'm looking forward to seeing your customs.

                        Original or EMCE Klingon head with a slight upgrade and a mego Romulan helmet could work, Doc Mego sells Romulan helmets on his website store.
