    Also, the reason Doc wants to get rid of them is because when he ordered them from China, the minimum was like 3000 or something, and they're not a big seller so he tries harder to move them out at cheap prices.
    The head the Bat sculpted is resin cast, so Doc only makes a few at a time.
    All Docs resin heads are like $10, so sitting on maybe 15 to 20 resinheads is not a major priority to blow out at 3 bucks.

    To settle things I emailed Doc ( should have just done that in the first place ) and ask him about the head and here is his reply.

    The blonde youth head is the MEGO Dick Grayson head with blonde hair
    instead of black. Dane altered a Shazam head to have a mushroom
    style haircut based on Alan Davis' run on Fantastic Four in the 1990's.

    Ok, so I'm liar and I never saw the picture there before it was removed. I'm just just making the whole thing up to cause trouble.Thanks guys.

    If it is NOW the blonde Dick Grayson head...then it has replaced mine. Or I'm going senile??

    I honestly don't think you're a liar, I think this is just a small misunderstanding that can be easily resolved.

    I went and pulled out the old Doc Mego print catalogue going back a half dozen years at least, and there is a picture of the "Blonde Dick Grayson head" in there (listed for $5).

    I don't know if Doc was selling your head on his site, but it wouldn't have been listed as a BLONDE youth head... it would have been resin right? None of his resin heads come painted.

    As someone else pointed out, he charges $10 for resin heads, $3 is definitely in the range of a vinyl china made head he is ridiculously overstocked on, and has called ugly countless times on the forum and mego meet IIRC... in my memory usually when the topic of John Horus/Black Summer figure for Avatar comics comes up. I think the "ugly" in question refers to the deep tan and blonde hair combo.

    First, I'd never call you a liar. Never having seen a picture on Doc's site it might have been yours at one time but as of now the head is a blonde Dick. Things change and only Doc know what he is currently selling.

    This is The Bat's Johnny storm head? Has anyone here purchased this head off of Doc Mego?

    The "blonde youth head" has been the factory-made blonde Dick Grayson head for like ten years.

    What Joe said.
    It used to be called blonde Dick Grayson head until a lot of the names changed.
    Then it was blonde youth head ever since.
    I'm not calling you a liar either Bat, I just think you may have misinterpreted the facts.

    Well, I suppose it's is possible I may be mistaken...in which case I owe Paul an apology.

    You were definitely mistaken. That was always used in reference to his blonde Dick Grayson head. He had a mountain of those that he did in fact beg Robot Chicken to use. He also used them on his "America's Defender" figure, John Horus and several other kitbash figures he sold through 7th St. Toys. If I recall, the description of the head you refer to had originally had the description of Johnny storm head and then changed to (I beleive) teen head, not youth head, after the problems with some of the trademarks occured and he received letters.
