Does anyone produce a 1:9 Doc Savage head sculpt? (Silver Age)
If you mean the James Bama/Bantam Books version I used a head I got from Dr. Mego. It was quite some time ago and I don't remember what he called it but it's basically a bald version of the MEGO Thor head.
My first ever custom was Doc Savage back in 1974. I dressed an Aquaman figure in Dr. Zaius pants, black boots, and a torn shirt. I used a red sharpie to draw some bloody scratches on the body. A year later I used a Big Jim Dr. Steel. I rubbed off the tattoos, painted on James Bama-style hair, and used other Big Jim clothes and boots to finish him off. It actually didn't look too bad. (but it didn't look too good either)
With a new movie in the works, maybe we'll get a fully authorized Mego-style Doc.
I have the 1/6 Go Hero Doc (silver age) and would loved to have a scaled down version of that figure.
I just painted the skull cap hair on. Worked fairly well. If I could post a photo I would.
After seeing the Doc Savage movie in the '70s I dressed my Mego Superman in Zaius' pants and boots and used the jacket from the Action Jackson Army outfit since Doc word a similar jacket in the movie. Had a lot of fun with him. The picnic table was his airship to travel the world and smash evil. I don't remember trying to make any of the Fabulous Five. That would have to wait until I did proper customs many years later.
