AMAZING NEWS!!!! REMOLDING/Reproducing vinyl Mego heads is Possible!!!!LOOK!!!

[LonnieFisher]

Can they make a mold from a solid, not vinyl head? Like resin or plastic originals, to be made in vinyl?

[ng.59]

Yes but the original head will need to have proper neck connection.
The llia head is hollow like produced doll, if it's something made of resin, usually the head is full and it's rarely possible to place this one back on body.
So it need to have the proper neck rim to be placed back on body.
Is this making sense? Lol

I have been looking for something like this for years and came up with exactly nada.

Does that factory do other stuff besides heads? Like dresses, tights, bodysuits, etc.?

[ng.59]

No, just heads.
For fashions I know somebody tough,
I can pass her informations if you want, she's one of the best seamstress out there!

[JediJaida]

Yeah, Theressa!

I am already a customer of hers.

I am looking for a place that can do those in bulk.

[ng.59]

No, it's not her,
Her name is Rachael, she's in Australia, she can do bulk order I think, but when you say bulk, it mean how much? 500 pieces?? Or 20?
You might look with her, I just feel it's more easiest for a seamstress doing the same garment in bulk than doing 10 different pieces...
She did in the past many of the same fashions for convention (like 50 of them I think)

Interesting---so this isn't actually about a custom-hobbyist who cracked the code of making short run vinyl heads.

You've simply contracted with a factory in China. Good for you, that's awesome, but you haven't found the Holy Grail exactly.

What kind of minimum orders are they looking for? That's the real question.

Anyone here could contract with EMCE or Castaway and have 3000 vinyl heads made up fully painted and shipped overseas. It's just a matter of price and what you do with 3000 heads.

[ng.59]

3000 heads is way to much!
I would never produce such a huge amounts!
It was made in much smallest qts.
They agreed to made them because I'm not ordering only dolls heads from them, it's like a package deal.
I was told they can also make the painting, I'm just not there yet...
It's only a first, I will see in future.

[JediJaida]

Looking forward to these.

[darklord1967]

This is pretty incredible! PLEASE tell us more!! Is your contact able to make vinyl doll head castings from solid resin heads? Is your contact able to do short runs of one or two vinyl head castings?

[The Bat]

That is AWESOME stuff! Keep us informed!

Just my two cents but it seems like you are flinging the door open for a bootlegger operation. Not saying that's your intent at all but the company obviously invested a good chunk in producing product and I don't see the molds getting shipped back to you. Again not to be a wet blanket but it seems this could become very problematic.

[JediJaida]

Will they do original sculpts?

[JediJaida]

Really? Would it be that easy?

If so, I think I'm going about this the wrong way.
