Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

This Tong head reminds me a lot of Big Jim and is the right scale. You can see the scale comparison in the bottom picture (top left corner).

If enough people want a copy of the Tong head I will cast it. Please PM me if you are interested.

Is that alice cooper on the bottom right?

^ No, I got in on Ebay years ago with the intention of fixing it up...it was supposed to be The Crow.

I am shrinking a big Jim head now and it started to tear in the front neck area not big deal, I won't have to shrink it very much since its pretty close in size. I did shrink a Data and Bruce Wayne from the newer 9in scale. The Jim head will be cool.

I will look forward to seeing it! (and probably want a copy).

I don't know anything about casting a head and people ask me if I make copies but I don't know how. I will bring my stuff to mego meet if anyone wants to make a copy there but does it hurt the paint?

I cant believe you shrunk Doctor Cromedome!

Easist way I cast heads is 2 part silicone and 2 part resin from Monster Makers. Easy to mix up. You'lll need a tinty electric scale.

stick a wire in the head neck, suspend it by crossed popsicle sticks over a plastic cup. mix and pour in your silicone. When it firms remove the whole thing. Then yourcarefully slit a seam partway down the silicone to get your head out ( put the seam in the back of teh head so as not to mess up the face) stick the empty mold back in a same size plastic cupp and it should seal the cut. Then pour in the resin!!

New head. Silicone takes overnight at least Resin no time to curate.

been a while since I did this.

What I REALLY want is some casting plastic that has a little give. A little rubbery feel for popping things in and out of arm sockets etc.

I had to go back and look. He does look like the Crow from the old comics. Very nice.

I also see Nightwing in that case!
