    Talosian

    Had adapted this head a while back and finally have had some time to finish a couple of customs. Knew the lionrock/titans body was going to be a stumbling block for EMCE getting a true repro made so when I saw this head I grabbed it and modified and cast it. It weighs a ton and sits on a standard DM body and is full 8 inch scale. Costume is on the idea of the original, and all DM, but I think I like the robey look like the keeper has for this character better. Probably will work on something in that direction at a later date.

    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

        WOW! How cool is that?! It looks just like the Keeper (the real Talosian Keeper, not the one from the Corbomite Manuever).

              Nice, thats a great take on him. That head paint looks almost genuine fleshy, and I dig the expression on his face.

                      Nice head paints and cool idea how to do him without the 6 inch body.

                          Not my sculpt. I wish I was that good. I just adapted it to mego and cast it. Not even sure what company made the original but I would guess someone like Applause. It was a static crappy blow molded figure with the same arm on both sides. But the head cut off nice and easy and I only sculpted the lower parts of the neck, added the neck plug, cast it and painted.
                          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                              That is one buff Talos. I would do whatever he suggested. Forget the mental torture, this dude would bodyslam you if you did not perform in his cage.

                              I agree with the robes. The clown suit is quaint for the original MEGO, but if you are going to do a bigger remake, you might as well get a little closer to the source material especially with nice headsculpt like that.
