    Update on dr_cyclops custom heads.

    New head casts are now being cast in white resin. This resin is producing castings that require far less filling than the tan resin. In short, pricing will be reduced to reflect the decrease in prep work.

    Thanks to all of you who have supported these heads with your purchases.

      So how does that affect the heads you have on ebay right now? Should I buy those or wait until
      they are re-cast in white resin? I'm looking at the Luke Cage and the Red Skull heads especially.

          As T-Bolt said, I have nothing close to 'Red Skull' or 'Luke Cage' offered currently. As for whether this is the time to buy or not, I would say this is the best time. My brother Darin currently is offering the original tan heads as lot deals on ebay. As soon as the current listings end, new auctions will have new (reduced) prices. While the new white heads will be easier to produce, they will no longer come with the "Filled and prep by original sculptor, ready to prime and paint" promise.

          Thanks for asking.

            Bumping with more information.
            My brother Darin has changed his ebay user name to "dr_cyclops". There is now a 'Doctor Cyclops' Facebook page, for customers and fans of our little two man operation.

              Do you gys prefer to go through ebay or can I just paypal you some funds and you get to bypass the fees? You've got a head I didn't know you made that I kinda need badly and soon.
              I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                      Spot-On, madmarva! I went with 'Masked Marvel' because the original X-Men Beast moonlighted as a wrestler.
                      I have plans to one day finish a Classic X-Men head set.
                      Sorry about the silly names. I just don't want to go with the copyrighted stuff.

                      Paul, clarification is not 'dumb'. I strive to avoid playing the "guess who this is going to be?" game, but my desire to avoid the copyrighted stuff, has created, just that situation. I am asking of my audience, please, feel free to ask questions.
                      So, did you want me to bring one to the Toy Show? Doesn't matter, I'm bringing everything anyway. Your painted 'Old Buzzard' and 'Elf-Prince' are almost done.

                            Nope. I've yet to do a head that would work well with a 'Scorpion' custom. Thanks for the 'neck-plug' plug. To date, all neck plugs have been hand sculpted on each head. I really need to standardize this process.

                              Mego Museum members, you can contact ebay seller 'dr_cyclops' (my brother 'Darin') and get great deals on a multiple purchase/custom orders. Remember to included your Mego Museum user name (If different than your ebay username.) when communicating on ebay, for your 'Privileged Customer Extras'. Darin makes BINs to order.
                              While we have a good stock of product. Large orders of any head(s), will need time to produce. Thank you all, for your wonderful support here, and on ebay.
