  Is it perfect? Lord no. But that's mostly because there's never been a good Heenan head sculpt. I'm very satisfied with this mix of Ricardo and Laurenitis BAF parts for the body, though I am considering repainting the jacket, bow tie, and arms with metallic flake red to really give it that old Brain showyness. The head is surprisingly in scale with these pieces-- I figured that it'd look too big, but Brain's head was often a little big-looking, partially because of his hairstyle and partially because he's a bit of a chunky dude. After looking at some reference photos, I don't even think I'd want it any smaller. I hope Mattel puts out a new Brain that makes mine look like garbage, but until then, I'm pretty happy with this. Any suggestions? |

I like it. I just wish the head was smaller.

I like it, give him a sparkly paintjob on his jacket and bowtie to finish it off.

I like it. I just wish the head was smaller. I've been wishing a lot harder than that for a more appropriate Heenan head sculpt and I don't have jack crapto show for it!  There's no way I could sclupt anything better, especially at a smaller scale, but I really do think Bobby's always had a bigger head than the average guy. Check him out in his red sparkly jacket, the proportions aren't off much at all. I'd go so far as to say that Mattel often makes heads that are TOO small-- DM Million Dollar Man has a tiny li'l pinhead. I like it, give him a sparkly paintjob on his jacket and bowtie to finish it off. Yeah I think I will. It's my first time painting this type of plastic, so I hope my acrylics will bond well. |

I really like it a lot. The head is a little big but is not a huge prob in my eyes, I think it had to be done to add the flab under his chin. I think the belly could be a little bigger and that would help the scale a bit. Though all together great job even more so if you free sculpted that head.

The head is too big imo. It just doesnt look right. I think keeping it on its original Jakks body would be the way to go.

Some people just have bigger heads. These photos should provide a reality check. The weirdly rounded shoulders of all of Mattel's "suit" bodies is weirder than the head size IMO.   Nice sense of proportion, God, you made the head to big you big newb!  |

I'm interested to see how the Heyman body will work for a Heenan figure once it comes out. You've done a good job with what you were given though. so enjoy it |

Hopefully we're about to get a good "overweight" torso for Heyman, Paul Bearer, and Bobby here. Mr. Dangerfields had a really good point, I think I'm going to try padding the tummy somehow. |
