   Thanks to Ralph's Figure Clothing of course. I decided to do the blonde front hair for my TAKA, and also painted shoes to match the TAKA figure the head is from. And awesome accessories of the Light Heavyweight title and the Japanese flag (heh heh heh......). The head is glued on though, couldn't manage to keep the peg, but I display only anyway. Really the only important thing is I'm happy to finally have TAKA in my collection; I waited for a classic release but of course it never came. |

I really like that alot. It looks great and I had no idea a Taka BCA head would look so good on an RA body. Great job!

Here's a little tip if you have problems with the custom neck pins. Next time you're at Wal-Mart or anyplace that carries the generic "Chinese" toys pick up a bag of plastic Jacks. I noticed this when I needed 2 rubber balls as close to human eye-size as possible (long story...). Anyway, I've used this method since. Just clip off the part that you need and kinda shave down the top (ball) until it pops into the head. It takes a little work. Now, just glue the other end into the neck area (after you check the placement). If you do it right, you still have movement to the head. It might sound like a pain in the ass but, it beats dremeling out the heads.   |

Figure looks well done. Ralph's clothing helps top it off.
Great tip Rozz, I'll have to use that as I glue on a lot of heads, lol.

Is that a warsman product i spy? I've seen people say he makes a TAKA head, but I've never seen it. The belt, I just painted and sealed the strap in red. Not good for moving a lot though. |

I believe Wars' Taka head is from the Japanese little big heads not the BCA head.

Awesome!
The blonde in the hair looks a bit chunky but no biggie.
I loved Taka back in the Attitude days. Extremely underrated.
