I don't know about a globe, but if you want one that is more cylindrical, the clear top to Garnier Fructis hair mousse works well.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
There are always Christmas ornaments that work well for that. I often hit the 90% off season sales at Walmart each January looking for things like that. I did a 12 inch version of that character that I put up in the custom auction at the Meet a couple of years back.It's not a doll it's an action figure.Comment

I used a glass snowglobe from the Dollar Tree. You can use a much smaller head and fill it with water to get refreaction that makes the head look bigger. Plus its a dollar, buy spares, I broke one getting it right.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

Paul Evans has one that's pretty cool, but it's not round. DaveMc used it for his Freeze.

Thanks PNGwynne, I decided to go with this option. The Fructis top is what I picked up. It works nicely. It's not the globe , but I am happy with it.
Anyone have a suggestion on getting it attached ? I have some ideas but I want to pick brains and see if anyone has better options.In The " Real World " Vampires Do Not Sparkle. They Burn In the Sun !

Got pics of it? If I had to guess, use the top of the bottle too. Where the dome cap attaches for the base.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Bingo!
Glad my suggestion was helpful, Jason. I've not completed my Mr. freeze yet (I'm considering a printed '70s suit). But my thought is to make a large mock-turtleneck-type collar to tuck the dome into. The collar could be lined/reinforced with thin craft foam, and the helmet secured with velcro or snaps applied to the dome sides & the inside of the collar. I figure the dome needs secured a bit to accommodate the tension of the tank tubing.Last edited by PNGwynne; Aug 2, '09, 9:40 AM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
