    Question on the BBP Battlestar Galactica Figures...

    Are the Starbuck and Apollo heads made of roto-cast vinyl (hollow) or solid resin/plastic?

    Anyone can help a brotha? Someone herein must own these figures and be able to check for me. Thanks in advance!

        Roto cast and a bit big for the body. The Adama has the same head and issues.

          looks like that other guy's head is a bit big, too.

                Ha! Yeah, I got issues. The biggest problem with a giant noggin though is my monthly Tylenol bill. It's a killer getting rid of the migraines from all the neck and shoulder strain holding that thing up.

                  Did anyone end up resizing these heads? (not Jim')

                    I was able to get other Starbuck and Apollo heads but not resized originals.
                    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      I got my figures' heads resized by Mefiboschet... using some German wonderdrug he has. Day and night difference. The BSG figures look really nice with in-scale heads.

                        Hi sprytel, do you have any pictures of your figures with the resized heads? I would love to see them. I am working on shrinking a bunch of heads right now but nothing from Battlestar Galactica. Just in the filling, sanding and painting stage, but pictures coming soon.

                          Here are some of the Vinyl heads I made (Professionally painted by Brian Leitner)
                          It gives a hint of what could have been.

                            amazing how much better those look with the shrink and repaint. I guess you have to shrink the helmets now, too?
