    I had a problem pulling my Tusken

    Which sounds pretty serious... but I finally had some bench time yesterday while I was waiting for new molds/casts to set up and had an opportunity to spend a few hours knocking this guy out:



    He's a modified Mummy head... I put the eyes a bit lower than on the original face to keep the Lilli / Mego giant forehead phenom, and unfortunately I still have to tweak the mold a bit to get all four crown spikes to cast at the same time, but here's en example of what I did with the second waste cast - Clicky-clicky!

    I'm pretty satisfied for about four hours labor.

      Let me know if you cast it and sell it. It wouldn't hurt having a Tusken Raider in my Star Wars 8 inch custom line.

        I pulled a Tusken once. I've never walked the same again.

        That is a really cool way to use that Mummy head. Looking forward to seeing this progress.
        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                Even though you had some issues with the way it came out, it's really quite marvelous (I agree about it being a great use of the mummy head).

                  Thank you evah-ree-body! (in my best Muppets Lou Zealand Boomarang Fish Juggler)

                  I fixed that mold with the trusty X-acto knife and ended up with this:

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                        I would like to see how it looks with a neutral/beige colored terry cloth similar to the AV POTA outfit for the outer robe, but I haven't found anything like that yet...

                            I don't believe my eyes! That is amazing.
                            If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                              I have to say, coming back to this post a few days later, it is even more impressive on second look.
