Here is a pic from the eBay auction you got the head from. Sorry man, think you just have a modified version of the pre "Real Scan" Gangrel.  |

don't alter the one of a kind sculpt into a custom. That's a really bad idea, especially with the people who can do reproduction casts around here. I would highly suggest making casts of it and not using the original head for the custom because this is likely the only real scan gangrel head in the world. Yeesh, you're customizing a one-of-a-kind prototype like this? I think you may regret that someday...have you considered making molds of it and keeping the original? I understand where you guys are coming from and know of the guys who cast on here. I will probably look into casting it myself as now I have it I'm definitely not shipping it back to states for casting. I don't want to risk losing it or having it mass produced. It's not worth a lot financially but in terms of collecting value it's huge. Prophet of Ash I still can't believe you found this before me and didn't buy. I don't collect a lot of wrestling figures any more and definitely not high end pieces. My interests have swayed to a lot of different collecting hobbies |

How much did the head cost? I don't collect a lot of wrestling figures any more and definitely not high end pieces. My interests have swayed to a lot of different collecting hobbies It was $20 including shipping to the UK (at a cost of $6.55) so it was pretty cheap IMO. |

Would it be possible for you to take side by side comparison pics of the Pre Real Scan and the one you just received? I am on the fence about the one you received being "Real Scan." www.angelfire.com/wrestling2/figuremuseum/images/real_scan_gangrel.gif![]() ![]() Here is a pic of the "Real Scan" Gangrel from Toy Fair years ago. Notice the difference in the hair sculpt and how crazy the face scan looks compared to the one you had purchased. Wish I could find better pics. Will gladly take a picture if I can find the TTL when I get home. I think I may have 2 of them but my figures are stored everywhere lol. |

Congrats on the purchase and the decision to cast instead of customize.
The collector in me would not want to see anyone tamper with a master sculpt, especially those belonging to Terry himself.
Considering it is a master resin sculpt, Gangrel's head was more than likely sent overseas and re-sculpted, which means yours is an early attempt at the Titan Tron Live SmackDown Series Gangrel figure (released to stores in November 1999) and not the unreleased Real Scan Gangrel head shown at Toy Fair 2000.

I did have doubts too. I have enhanced the Toyfair 2000 image and although the nose and mouth are very similar the hair looks different. Hard to tell, I'm still not 100% either way. I do prefer mine to what I can make out on the proto against the reference images of Gangrel above. The toyfair proto looks a little more bloated as he looked post wwf.  |

I'm convinced that is not the real scan head. It might be a different head all together but not a scan and not the one shown in the last toyfair photo.

Yeah the one in the toyfair pic looks a little different the face looks more fleshed the cheeks especially and the hair looks fuller.
But that head you have still looks different the the gangrel ttl figs head so I am confused now!
