Where would I get a black male head?

[DaniellePlaysWithToys]

So I'm thinking of doing James Rhodes Iron Man and it's gonna be simple. I just need to put a new head on a Mego Iron Man body. Only problem is, I don't know where to find a black male head. I was thinking of repainting a Mr. Fantastic head, but that's blackface. So... any 8" black male figures whose head I can use?

The new Muhammad Ali figure is your best bet.

Ali is a good choice. Other options that come immediately to mind are:

AA Action Jackson
EMCE Night of the Living Dead

Been down this road, not a lot of people of colour, here are some unmentioned options:

David Kano Classic TV Toys Space:1999
Michael Jordon from Space Jam doll heads fit on new Mego bodies
FTC Obama

Here is the Playmates Jordan on a new Mego body

OK, but back in the day, Rhodey had hair (unlike his MCU incarnation.)

I named two other options with hair.

I think I'm gonna get that because after all I am using a Mego Iron Man body.

Dr. MEGO offers a couple of options.

Actually Terrance Howard and Don Cheadle had hair when playing the role... admittedly less on Cheadle.

However, Brian's suggestion is still helpful to others (like me) who had no idea that about that Jordan head until I saw his custom. Again, not a lot of options for people of color.

I rather like Kano. Biggish, though.

Unfortunately, CTVT no longer has that as I’ve pondered getting it myself. They DO have new black sculpts, but they’re for the type S body.

[powersthatbe]

Carl Weathers/Apollo Creed will soon be coming from Mego.(when unknown) if you can wait for him.

They still have the AA AJ head in three hair colors I think. Also for vintage style bodies you have LJN Deacon from SWAT and Terry from the Rookies. I think the Deacon head is the best of the lot.
