    Help! I need a head! Anyone!!!!



    Thank you everyone who participated in bringing my character into mego form. This was a hard and complicated process to get him to look right. I am happy with his mego look and I am planning on having a great creator such as Blacknight bring him to life with his style eventually.
    He is still a work in progress. Here is a quick shot of him on the back porch.

    I will post him in the "finish customs" area after I finish tweaking him and I will give proper credit to the ones who "chipped in" materials and ideas...

    What scale are you looking for?

    Try getting a Qui-Gon Jinn action figure. That has a similar look.

        Cat, just take any face that looks similar to what you need (sorry can't help there...all humans look alike to me)...and just add hair and the beard/mustache with Apoxie. It doesn't need to be long to start. I did it for a HardyGirl's Rick Springfield figure and he started out with short hair.

          Yeah, I might do that. But with this character, I want to show he has a beard not one painted on. His beard is important.

            Just use Apoxie to make the beard and use a pin to add it on. When it's cured, it pretty much sticks and if it doesn't, you could superglue it back on. You have 3 hours to manipulate it to the way you want it to look.

              Yeah. If you're using a resin head epoxy putty'll stick real good. Beards are pretty easy to carve, too.

                It stays pretty stuck on vinyl heads, too.

                  I've never had any luck with that; but I've superglued 'em back on afterwards (like you suggested) with a lot of success.

                    Howdy Cat. I don't know if this will work for you. it's a Raintree biblical figure head. It is Mego sized. If you are interested, PM me your address and I will send it to you free of charge.

                      Wasn't there a Diesel FC figure? he'd be all long haired and beard-y.

                        A very kind and generous mego museum member has just answered my prayers.

                        When everything gets "together" I will keep you posted.
                        If this baby turns out, I am considering a great talent like Black Knight to put together a version of Cosmicman.

                        I am excited......


                        Keep you all posted.
