casting heads from bowen statues???

[C.H.O.A.M.]

just thinking out loud here...
has anyone made casts from any statues or would that damage the piece?
I saw a few amazing bowen statues online and that got me wondering about making heads from them.
maybe that's illegal??
not trying to get anyone in trouble here!

It's been done...but that guy isn't around anymore...

lots of the heads we have available (or did have available) to us came from statues (not necessarily Bowen).

It doesn't hurt the statue at all from what I understand. However, many of the heads are not in Mego scale and either have to be shrunk or enlarged to work...and even then, some sculpting work has to be done around the neck and sometimes other aspects of the face and hair.

From what I understand (I've never done it myself), there is a lot of work involved in turning a statue into a mego head.
