    GI Joe people?

    Who out there does the best head flocking and will they do 8" scale heads?

    Thanks

    If you look on ebay there are people who do this. I have not had any done so cannot say who does the best but you can always ask them about 8" scale

            I've seen your cars, Zemo. You are pretty handy. I would bet you could whip up a homemade flocker and get it done yourself.

                      Craig is very good, but he can be a bit tempermental about his work.. I gave him 3-4 heads about 10 years ago and he put the wrong color hair on one, which he gladly redid.

                      I had these heads for 30 years and I knew ever millimeter of their faces (their eyes, etc..). When one came back that didn't look like mine and I politely asked about it, he got really testy. I just backed off and said, 'OK..'. He may have also touched up the eye paint, which I clearly didn't ask him to do. I just let it go.

                            Is it important to you to have the original heads reflocked?

                            I don't know the price on it but maybe buying a beat up Joe with a good head or not sure if one of the many repros they have produced over the last few years would work.

                              I think he's planning to flock some Megos.
