Just got an email from wantedactionfigure.com and noticed they're offering more 1/9 scale heads, including an Angelina Jolie. Being as a lot of 1/6 scale customizers use that site I really think it will help draw more attention to the 1/9 scale market, which is a very good thing.

Yep ! And if you buy them, You will be ****ed off because the Heads are Smaller than Little Rascle Size Because they don't understand what 1/9th Means. Or so that's what Happened to The Wood and His Tarzan Head ..., I've seen it, it's unbelievable, and they won't ( or wouldn't at the time) refund his very large sum of cash to get this "Mego Scale" They Call it.

Thier "1/9" Scale is Smaller than Customslab. ...
I can Prove it, right now.

I'd say only buy 12inch scale 1/6th from this Site.

I've never ordered any heads from them so I wasn't aware of the problem. That sucks that the sculptor(s) can't get the scale right because it would definitely be a plus for the 1/9 scale market, in more ways than one.

Sorry,
I just think it's Bullcrap Big time, they Won't refund The Wood's Money. He paid a Ton for this custom Sculpt in Mego Scale, so I'm taking it here, until they make this right. I'll post a Pic ... in a few.

[thunderbolt]

they can get 1/6th right but not 1/9th? Amazing.

The Woods 1/9th Mego Scale WantedActionFigure Tarzan Head on a DocMego LJN Arm Body.
You Decide.






Just Throwing this out there ...., I could be wrong here, but just a Thought ...., This doesn't look much like any 1/9 Scale Mego I've ever seen.

Now, In a Different Thread, I had defend this company's product, an I stand by those comments as far as 1/6th 12inch Scale Goes. They Have Fantastic Product.

However with thier " 1/9th Mego Scale" Product, it is a True Crime to Charge, what they charge for Product, let alone commissioned Sculpted work and get away ripping people off and stealing thier Money. They need to seriously re-evaluate what 1/9th scale is before taking anyone Esles Money now, ever, and in the Future.

They Need to refund Everyone's Money, they stole from in this Scale.

[thunderbolt]

I'm not all that impressed with the likeness either.

[BlackKnight]

That could also be the paint.

Looks like their sculptor has a bad case of "Honey, I Shrunk The Head" syndrome.

Or maybe he/she's a witch doctor and is into head shrinking.

Or maybe he/she's a part-time psychologist/psychiatrist, both of which deal with head problems and are called "shrinks"...

[emeraldknight47]

Wow. I just checked out their website and they REALLY need to hire a new painter for their samples!!!! The paints on their Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman head are TERRIBLE!!!! Plus, some of their likenesses are even close!!! I was looking at the Christian Bale head and it doesn't even really look like Bale---the nose is waaay too wide....

[ZICA]

Wow! That's beyond bad. I really thought that what they were offering could generate more awareness and interest in the 1/9 scale market but obviously that's not the case here.

They probably just need a body for reference. When I had her sculpt my 1:6 Brent head I sent a head that was in scale and a body.

A buddy of mine had her sculpt Armando from Conquest POTA she sculpted it the size of a golf ball and refused to refund his money. My buddy paid her to do it over again. Second time was the charm.

[thunderbolt]

From what I've read elsewhere, the person who commissioned this gave the sculptor measurements based off the Mego Tarzan head, so that should have resulted in the correct size.

[jessica]

Yeah...the language barrier and poor customer relations from what I have heard...

And I've seen plenty of the off scale casts. Really awful.

You'd be better off to have them sculpt it in 1/6 and then have someone shrink it to 1/9...cause it looks like someone is going to have to blow it up to the proper scale anyway. And at least you'd have a 1/6 head to use or flip if you don't want it...
