You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie Banks -
Sometimes a body switch out helps. I've put some of the larger FTC heads on Doc Mego's swivel arm body and as it's slightly larger than an FTC body, it makes the head look in better proportion. Same deal with the Type S body - heads look a bit better on a slightly larger body."It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. 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."Comment

I think, too that the soft-goods can balance out head-scale.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

This seems like a broad generalization. Many of the Mego heads are just perfect. Some have run a little large... and I guess I would put the Superman in that category... but I feel that none have been disturbingly so. Of course this topic is very subjective, so I am sure reasonable people could still disagree.Comment

I mean, there is an explanation, at least for the ones I worked on, but I signed an NDA, so I won’t be giving any explanations. But I think I can say that I have made every head I’ve worked on the size I was told to make it. I try to be diligent about it, but I can’t control what happens after I send in my sculpts.Expectation is the death of discovery.Comment

I made a custom Mr. Miracle using a bald head from CTVT. It may be a Luthor head but I'm not 100 per cent sure. Anyway, when I put the figure together he looked OK to me, but when I put him on the shelf next to my other figures his head appears so large in comparison."I thought they didn't allow no bathin' suits in here."Comment

It's unfortunate when it happens to an otherwise great figure. Superman is painful to look at, but he's a great figure except for that. Shame.
They've done decent with this thus far, but when it strikes it hurts. BBP, CTVT and all the others have had the same issues. Not sure why.Comment

I don't know---I positioned the capes around the shoulders of Superman and Batman in such a way that, to my eyes, mitigates the head size to where it works fine for me. YMMVComment

I'm really bummed about the new Captain Pike. That head sculpt is really nice, but again it is disproportionately large. Are these supposed to be like that? Maybe it's a style choice to make them seem like caricatures? I thought it might be an isolated instance, but it looks like a trend. I usually buy most of the new stuff, but I can't preorder these sight unseen anymore if this is the norm.
Here's some info I dug up on human proportions...
"The average adult human is technically seven-and-one-half heads tall, but the artistic standard for average height is generally rounded up to eight heads."
And here is the breakdown on Pike...
