Another Source For Heads?

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.

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

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

I'll use my embroidery scissors.

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.

Those are some great looking heads.I just noticed the guy who sells all the Star Trek customs on Ebay uses them too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mego-Star-Tr...item3cc0763520

The ones that have the longer hair can always be trimmed into a newer style.

The eyes, brows and smile can all be tweaked, with a judicious application of aquatone and a new paint job.

Their faces are sweeter than the Breyer dolls, who always seemed a bit off to me.

LOL, thanks EMCE Hammer.

Great minds Dana........



I think there's even more potential with these if the eyes and eyebrows are tweaked.

I tried just now to find them on Michael's website too, Thunderbolt...But I didn't have any luck either.

I'll have to check out Party City, to see if they have them.

Candyland Crafts also has them in a set of four Caucasian, and one set of four ethnic.

Very pretty, and the neck hole can probably be adjusted if its too small.

Hey, those Candyland Crafts Caucasion dolls have different faces and hairstyles than the ones I found (they aren't smiling, which is a plus). The ethnic ones are cool too, but it's too bad they don't have more of a variety of hairstyles (they look all very similar).

This cake website has some like the dolls I bought (or at least they look like it, their hair appears a bit longer and they don't have a redhead)...

Yea, I had to open up the neck hole to fit the Breyer Girl body for Wonder Girl.

Very good use for the head, Magyar. Your Wonder Girl looks great!

Now THOSE are cute!

Are they on the website? There's no Michael's in my immediate vicinity, and I don't have a car.

I haven't checked the Michael's website, JJ...But they may be.
