Another Source For Heads?

BTW, how much more do you have to open up the neck, and what did you use to do it? A craft knife?

That's what I did. The Breyer Girl body's neck was a little long ( their heads have a recess that the neck fits into ) so for my Wonder Girl I wanted to slide the head down a bit. I made VERY small slits on each side - to keep thing even.

I'll use my embroidery scissors.

Thanks for the heads up,Danadoll!
I bought a set and made a few cute yeomen girls for my Captain Kirk.

That red head would make a great Scully. Now... I need a Mulder.

[JediJaida]

Well, I got the one I ordered, only it's more Barbie sized.

I ordered the large one, not knowing if the smaller ones were the right size.

Well, now I know.

I'm not too mad though, I can always put her on a Barbie body if the existing head sucks.

She does look Scully-ish, I agree...But when I saw her, the first character to pop into my mind was Shiela from the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.

Now that you mention it, she does!

That'd be an interesting custom to make.

She was the thief of the group with the invisibility cloak, right?

The little cake doll bodies will go into the recycle bin.

They would make nice female zombies coming out of the ground for a diorama. Just put a female zombie head and a bloody dress on em. Or a wicked witch melting for an OZ diorama.

Yes, indeed she was. Sheila the thief might be a fun custom...Although, I think I'd want to use a smaller girl body, instead of the 8 inch female body (that body is a bit too...Mature).

Good point, MC...I like how you think.

here's an alternative head collection from my gallery.

The "Cake" heads are nice but some craft stores have femme heads just a bit bigger that work.

Nice job on that. I like. Thanks for sharing that picture.

I just recently found some more potential doll heads at the dollar store. I will try and post a picture or two here soon for all to see.

I recently found a Michael's in my area and I looked at the cake heads. To me, they looked too small to work for an 8" body, but looking at the pictures again, I realize that I was wrong.

They don't have a doll making section anymore; it just wasn't selling much, so they discontinued it.

The next time I go, I will get the four pack of heads that they have.

I just wish they had the ethnic one in that size, she'd make a great girlfriend for Brick or Bruce Wayne.

That is the thing about Megoish heads. The naked eye can some times plays tricks with us. I have bought heads blindly in the past thinking this is going to be great only to get home and find out later that it is either too big or too small. To remedy that I have been carrying a Mego head in my pocket for some time to use as comparison when I am out. Now it is a no brainer.

BTW - I have to retake the pictures that I took because my digital camera memory stick shot craps on me the other day before I could transfer the pictures to my computer. I will get the new pictures up just as soon as I purchase the new memory stick.

[JediJaida]

And it occurred to me to do that.....after I got home!

Oh well, I'll take one of the DM heads, which are the same size, and compare it to one of the ones in the store.
