When I receive mine I will do it for you and post pics. Thanks alot!I look foward to that. Here you go. The problem is the collar bone or whatever those muscles are called that I don't have. Because of the hair it won't sit down far enough on the neck. They don't sit perfectly on the RA bodies either, but as you will see below it it better. My permanent Savages with my 1 of 1 Ralph's Exclusive Purple Macho shirt. I'm sure he will make you one too if you ask. Still need to work up the courage to paint the stars. I suck at painting and drawing stars for some reason.

Use little white star stickers.On the boots and the tights this way it is still playable.I know someone who cuts vinyl for cars(stickering lettering etc...).But you can get store bought ones...or use a 1/4 inch star hole puncher and just a little bit of superglue and put the stars on that way.Thanks for the picture mate.

So, is this head plastic or resin? If it is resin, is it fragile or easily broken?

how are you guys connecting the head to the bodies? the sculptor modified it so Jakks pegs are compatable to them so they are exactly like Jakks heads...

As far as the connection goes, it's like a rubber gasket. GREAT for simple customs or playability - TERRIBLE for the more "extreme" customs. Here's a pic. As you can see I'm redoing one of mine. I still have to re sculpt the hair that I Dremeled off and add strips of hair next to the hole that I drilled for resin removable glasses (holes on the side of the head). I'll just add a ball of plumbers putty along with a ball joint for the connection. Aves would take too long. I'm also gonna fatten up the face and nose a little. I'll just make a new mold and recast them when finished. This pic shows the difference in the fit - Dremeled vs non. It fits perfectly on a shirted DA body without any mods.

They're looking good, the eyes look better painted "angrier" like we initially planned. I'm really looking forward to getting mine, hopefully not too long now, I wasn't expecting them to get to the UK before Christmas.

Even if i don´t have my Macho Man Heads from Wars right now, i wonder when will we start the next project...
Will we have a poll? I´m so excited in the next projects and i guess i´m not the only one on this board. Hopefully Texas Tornado Kerry von Erich or Owen Hart will be in the next projects.

my head arrived today !!!!!!! I must comment on the excellent packaging, although my missus was a little dissapointed as she thought is was some sort of expensive jewellery.
top marks to everyone involved for the excellent service.

After being off the site for a long time, I came back, found this, freaked out, tried to make sense of it all, ordered one thru eBay. Now, I am kinda on track for this whole thing. My Savage head showed up this morning and it looks really awesome! I want on the list for other heads and I vote that Owen Hart be the next custom head. I would probably buy 3 of them if it turned out really well. Any way to be added to the list? Thanks, Cammioh

I'm also curious as to when the next project (if any) will start. I was very happy with this, even though I haven't gotten around to assembling my Macho Man custom yet.

I've just received my second unpainted head, so I've decided to make a soft hair fixup. I like it a lot more than the original It's a wet hair/during match style macho!! What do you think?

Do you mean is it going to fit an Ra head? if so, No its not going to fit because a hasbro head is smaller than a Jakks head, You will need cut some of the crown headband and sculpt it. I think someone else sculpted some of the crown, I think it was whydraft{Maybe ask him}. Hope I helped.
