    Lopsided heads on new Megos...

    Lopsided heads and uneven eyes...

    seems to happen a lot with these new figures.

    I found JL/Cavil Superman yesterday and one of his eyes is sculpted lower than the other, and this is true of a bunch of mego head sculpts...

    Picard, Wonka, Wonder Woman....is this on purpose?

    Yeah, I've notice this right away on the TOS Spock. Some of them look fine, others the left eye looks warped...might be the paint application?

      I have the same problem with the new Capt. Kirk head Sculpt...The paint application on the eye brows were terribly done, and it seems like he has no lips...Seriously needed painted lips.

        A better paint app would've made a big difference.

          I just always assumed that was because the heads are pulled from the molds too soon.
          Fresh, not from concentrate.

            That is quite possible.

              Sure seems like it..

              Makes me wonder if it possible to correct it with a dunk in boiling water followed by a dunk in ice water.

                Not if it was stretched before it was cooled originally. Like the Captain America boots Emce made that were pulled to soon and stretched. That is the permanent shape.

                  I mean, people's faces aren't really symmetrical in real life. I will admit the Cavill sculpt looks a little weird though. Picard and Wonka look fine to me.
                  The hands that grip.
