    Interest in 3d Printed Heads? Your feedback appreciated

    After seeing some of my 3d printed customs, several folks reached out about whether I planned on making those available. So I am trying to figure out the best way to do that.

    If this is something you may be interested in, please PM me. I have a few questions for potential patrons.

    Here is a sample of some of my recent prototypes (note these are all just 3d renderings with a quick virtual paint job):



    Drop me a PM... or stay tuned for more details.

    Thanks!

      Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.

              What do yall use to drill holes into printed heads like these? I saw a tool kit for Gundams that includes a nail dremel, would that work?

                Why do you want to drill a hole in the head?

                  I would need to drill a hole in the neck so I can put the head onto the Mego body.

                    If you notice, all of these heads have a short stem, which should fit into a standard Type-2 Mego / Type 2 LJN neck hole.
                    if the heads had the shorter stems like what I've gotten from Austin or Russ,
                    I just used a small eyelet hook and carefully and slowly worked it into the bottom fo the head.
                    Then I ran the elastic through it, stringing like a T-1, and tying off at the left hip or the left arm.
                    But these look like they have a long enough neck stem plug to work.

                      Sprytel I'd be interested in any AA male, or generic Alien or Monster heads.
