I just reread your post and realized why I haven't been having any luck with Naptha. I didn't know you could leave the head in for days. I've been chickening out and pulling them after a couple of hours. I have a few of these in progress, the Naptha will be flowing tonight.

I used the naphtha shrink method, which requires no repainting. As pointed out in the thread, the new Mego body should make it even better.Comment

I'm going to have to try this. I've always shrunk the heads so they looked more proportional to the body.
I always wished they would've made a 9" Janice Rand. Everyone always uses the Dax figure from Trials and Tribbleations for her."May fortune favor the foolish"Comment
