Mego scale Doctor Who Troughton head interest?

[william shatners toupee]

Hey gang,
I'm a regular on Sideshow Freaks Forums where I started a 1:6 Doctor Who group (come check us out here: Sideshow Freaks - Doctor Who ), and I also visit here for all my Mego news.

Right now I've gotten Character Options artist Sean Dabbs to make SSF TWO different 1:6 Patrick Troughton heads: serious and scared. He creates his heads digitally. Here are the finished versions:







I hope you will agree they are fantastic! They are for order now and if these sell well enough my plan is to finish the Troughton set a Jamie, Zoe, and maybe a Tobias Vaughn. 1:6 versions can be ordered here: Sideshow Freaks - Patrick Troughton commission by Sean Dabbs

Here's the reason I'm here, brothers and sisters: because they are digitally made they can be RESIZED. Hell yeah! So the same head can be made at Mego size as well (he could adapt the neck), helping both our groups out and making use of the the heads he's made even more successful (meaning he may be "encouraged" to make MORE Who heads for us, which again helps both our groups out!).

The only stipulation here, as always, is numbers. How many people would want either of these here? Is there at least enough interest to get ten people interested in one style of head to make it happen?

Because they can be in any size, that means he could make them in 8" or Denys Fisher 9" scale, so that's another thing for you guys to consider. I do realize these aren't in Mego style so that may be a turn-off.

Sound off and let me know what guys think!

I'm into Dr. Who custom heads.

[ODBJBG]

I'd love an 8 inch head.

[raider5gt]

I like the serious Troughton head over the scared one.

Coolness! For those that haven't stated, let me know if you'd prefer serious or scared (or both) just so we can try and reach "10" for one of them. Also, let me know if you guys are preferring 8" or 9" or are impartial.

[Meule]

They both looks fantastic

[toiletmonkey]

serious heads waay better.

That guy's really talented!

Let me tell you, we were very lucky to have Sean want to do this. He finished BOTH heads for us in a week and a half!!! I almost fell over. In the past I have gotten very burned on artists, with my made up sarcastic rule being "the only thing you can count on with a custom artist is is that they'll miss their deadline." I have had commissions where I have had to wait one to two years!
A very refreshing change and one of the most talented artists I have come across.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

They are both amazing. And so is the time he finished them in...wow!

[johnmiic]

I'd like the one with the mouth mostly closed-serious? Looks great! Do more!!! How about Delgado and Ainley Masters?

[william shatners toupee]

In talking character selection, that's the only area where the Mego-side loses slightly in this proposition because we actually have other sculptors at SSF making 1:6 Who heads, (but not on computer- the old fashioned way- laugh), which being clay sculpted heads can't be easily shrunk down like by computer unless someone uses Hydro-shrink on the molds.

I explain all of that first to answer your want of a Delgado, cause we have one coming up 1:6 from another sculptor (not on computer). This link shows you the 1:6 heads available now (and a few coming up) for anyone brave enough to use the hydro-shrink on one for the rest of you. I mean--- the heads are there to be used, guys! The artists supplying them may even be willing to shrink them down for you if there is enough demand by you from here. Just check out the Tom head modded from the statue!!! Sweeeeeet!

Sideshow Freaks - List of which sculptors have which head available?

As for what future Who things Sean makes for us (or if he does), we'll need to see as he's just starting to sell this head now . I haven't been subtle about how much I love what he's done. I know what it's like to want/need everybody (laugh).

No ones stated preferences for these in 8" on 9" yet.

As far as the Ainley, I should say I was hoping to do a Fifth Doctor Davison set after this Troughton set. We'll need to see where this takes us.

[bobws]

Ok i haven't started yet, But Doctor Who is my next BIG want list of characters. I would be glad to get a head of every Doctor and every companion original and new shows all. So yes i would like a serious Troughton head in 8" size. i hope you get enough to do this. keep me posted.

Cool. Gotcha down!
