    I've heard a lot of mention of doing a Vampirella custom with this. As a newbie, I have to ask...could the Yvonne hair be styled to have bangs?

      I have no idea about how to do hair, other than braid the heck out of it, but it can't be THAT hard to do.

      It might be tricky, with her having a center part, but not impossible.

            Awesome news! Thank for the update.

              Any way to track the shipment when it goes out? The waiting is making me nuts!

                Me too! Been looking into rerooting the multiple bodies I've ordered

                  Well, as to that, the vinyl of the head will probably be a lot sturdier than say a vintage Dinah.

                  When it comes to pulling out the roots in the center part, be very careful as you don't want to rip a great big hole in her head.

                  I've done that a couple of times, even when I was being careful!

                  Maybe somewhere down the line, Craig can come up with other colors for the hair.

                  Like auburn, brown, blonde, and other more esoteric shades.

                    Thanks for that! I'll try softening the head in hot water before removing roots.

                    Craig has said he'll look into other heads if Yvonne is successful, but I want to make use of the heads I'm getting.

                    If it doesn't work I'll look at wigs instead.

                      If they're leaving China by boat, good luck on getting any type of reliable tracking on them. Even when they get to the US they can get hung at various other places.
                      Fresh, not from concentrate.

                        Aw. I'm in the UK, so I'll be waiting a while then.

                          Like Boss mentioned, once they're on the water there probably won't be a reliable way to track them. However, I'll do my best to try and get some updates once I know they've shipped.

                              Yeah, thanks.

                              Well, January is close to being over. Only eleven more days and its kaput, then onto February.

                              I just hope we don't get hit with massive amounts of the wretched white stuff here in the Bronx; it messes up the mail something awful.

                                I've found it pretty easy and been able to avoid damage by first cutting the hair off close to the scalp and then using either forceps or a crochet hook to remove the rest from inside the head. It tends to go pretty quick and easy for me and I've not had any issue with tearing so far.
