New rooted female heads help

[JediJaida]

Okay then, stick to the glue. (No pun intended.)

Why don't you try dying the heads different colors, as well as giving them different colored hair?

Like light blue skin to match the hair, indicating an arctic like environment, light green with dark green hair to indicate plant like tendencies.

Shades of brown for those of us who don't want to ruin a perfectly good Uhura head by rerooting it.

Or contrasting color combos like red skin with white, yellow or orange colored hair?

Blue green skin with purple/green/blue hair for a Siren or Mermaid?

It's too bad that there's no such thing as white dye, but maybe a thin coat of paint and hair in contrasting colors like pure black, fire red, neon green, or lemon yellow?

Someone on this board did something like that with one of Doc's heads, to make a Storm custom.

I can't remember what his name is, but I got that figure from him, and I put the Storm head on one of Doc's new brown bodies, and she looks great!

I like the Mystique head that you did, the resemblance is uncanny.

^^ He still has to be able to sell them. Nobody wants crazy color combos

^^^^ Gotta agree. Outside of Storm and Polaris, there really isn't a lot of call for wierdo hair colors. Stick to the glue(whatever the heck that means)

[JediJaida]

Oh well, it was just a suggestion.

[megome]

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I might try a few see how they work,I like the green head with green hair. thanks guys

[JediJaida]

You're welcome.

I like the colored heads idea...blue with white hair for an Andorian, green with dark hair for an Orion....

[JediJaida]

I took a peek at the Bride of Frankenstein one that's over on ebay. That's pretty cool looking.

Instead of just doing side or center parts, how about braided hairstyles? Nothing too complicated; either one long braid going down the back, or a complete center part going from the front of the head to the back, with a braid on either side.

You'd also use less hair in a two braid section because you aren't filling in the entire head. Just the front and a few spots in the back to bring it all together.

If you have a nude Dorothy head, you'll see the pattern you need for rerooting in that fashion.

That one w/ the bangs would make a perfect Dyna-Girl. And the blonde w/ the braid looks like Grace Lee Whitney.

I think colors are a good thing, b/c they lend themselves to aliens or custom superheroes. Wasn't there someone here who had Mego female heads w/ lotsa cool colors a couple of years ago? I would have gotten some, but alas, I was too late.

I like the ideas here. More color and styles.
Any chance of putting up another mahogany haired w/bangs head up on the bay?
Any styles of heads with punk/emo cuts?

Just gotta say thanks to Megome for putting the heads up on eBay - I scored a blue head with mahogany hair, now I can make a Mystique custom!

Beautiful work! I got outbid on the head with the black hair side part with Mego flip (drat!), but am more glad I won this. Thanks again, Megome!

PS - do you do custom orders? I'd love to get a Storm head from you!

[JediJaida]

I got one like that the last time!

Now if only there were blue female bodies to go with it. LOL!

[Timothy2251]

Ditto, but I'll probably ask one of the custom suit folks (Brian, almitysufx, etc.) if they can whip up a Mystique suit, so it'll all be good. (I was able to make a Tigra thanks to almitysufx and megome made the head - ah the awesomeness!)

Thanks guys I will be trying new colors and skin tones and see how it goes thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I could whip up.

[JediJaida]

Anytime, dude.
