    Shrinking Famous Cover female heads?

    Anyone have success shrinking Famous Covers female heads?

    I love this head for my Hawkgirl but I am afraid it is a tad too big. When she is wearing Buk's mask he made she looks cool.




    Without it, she looks a little silly.




    I want to shrink it but I am afraid I will ruin the head. It is perfect for Hawkgirl.

    Thoughts?

    Anyone?

    Wouldn't a Breyer redhead work or a Mego Batgirl? The mask is going to cover the eyes up any way and it would be in scale. If you want the mask off look, just use remove the mask from a Batgirl and redo the eyebrows.

      I know. I did have Breyer girl head on there and it looked off key.
      What I like about this head. It is a dead ringer for Shayera Hol. Shayera Hol is a character that you have to get right (hair and face). She has long red hair and has a distinctive heroic jawline that fits her feminine beauty. I just wish that head was smaller.
      Oh well.....I guess I am stuck with it like that. It fits perfect with Buk's silicone Hawkgirl mask. (he still sells them. His work is the best!!)

        I've shrunk a FC female head. It takes several dunkings though. Plus it will probably ruin the paint.
        Better late than never.....

          How in the heck do you remove the mask from a Batgirl in the first place?

          Isn't it a part of the mold itself?

          If you want a strong jawline, try a Mary Ellen doll that's been rerooted.

          Just don't use fire red hair. Use something a little more natural.

          BG's hair reminded me of Bozo the Clown sometimes.

          Or Lucille Ball. *shudder*

            Shayera Hol had fire red hair.
