    Old-School Wonder Woman

    I need help choosing a head to use. I prefer real "hair" vs sculpted. I have a Dorothy head, but the hair is the wrong color. Any suggestions?

    Learn to reroot. It's time-consuming, but not that difficult, and totally worth the effort to have that perfect head with your desired hair color. There is a tutorial in CustoMego, but I've seen it done different ways. The one thing that I don't like about the CustoMego directions, is that the writer suggests cutting a slit in the back of the neck plug. I've never had to do this, and would be reluctant, just for fear of tearing it and ruining the head.
    Nice choice for the head, by the way. If you need any help styling or anything, shoot me a pm. I've rerooted quite a few heads, and so have some other members here.

      Your custom looks great so far! How did you make the top part of her costume? It fits really well. I agree with Del - try to reroot a Dorthy head.

          I am excited to see what else you do to this!! Keep us posted!!
          You should print out an eagle if you are going to do "old school." Give her that "old school" look. you got an eagle icon?


          Also. Check your PMs. I just thought of something about that Dorthy head you are using.

                I just remembered to mention wigs. Doll wigs don't look as good as a reroot, but it's an option if you're desperate. The only person I know of who does Mego-sized wigs is Laurie(Polyester) on her site, but I haven't checked her selection lately. I know that it varies from time to time. They can be made, but they're so tiny that with the work involved, you'd be better off rerooting.

                    ^ I believe toyfanatic (see above post) has several to choose from. Have you tried her.

                        I like the way it looks so far.

                        I can't wait to see Dorothy with a black reroot.

                            Looks like my post was deleted, so I'll repeat what I said before: that's a great looking costume. Can't wait to see her done
