I like our sculpt but, I LOVE the 1/6 scale version. That thing is dead on. The hair really made a big improvement. I think I'm gonna order one and do some shrinking. Wait a second. . . it's not too late to order one of these?

ok, which one is the jakks sized one? the one with no neck? and whats the head made out of? for those of us who play with our collections can the head take the normal punches kicks and pile drivers? any thoughts? would appreciate the help on this one:) if this gose threw well for all us,(i just got one on ebay with a friends help setting up pay pal....) wouldnt it be awesome to get her great talents working on say a ricky steamboat? or a texas tornado? how about herkulese hernendez?
she could really clean up as i know i would gladly buy any of those based on weather they come out as good as this macho man head..
any way thanks to anyone who can help with the questions:)

She has a section for jakks heads now on her website, because of warsman. She has taken a lot of her other celeb heads and shrank them to jakks size also. Wars sent her some figures to go off of, so they should just pop onto the neck of any existing figure. the price on her site is $25, but i think its unpainted. If you plan on playing with the figure if you seal it after painting it should be fine. On a side note. I can see people wanting a Steamboat or VonErich, but i would think it would be hard as hell to get enough people together to commission a hercules. I think i would rather have an iron mike sharpe(just kidding of course). I just think that if this is gonna happen again, it needs to be someone real sought after, and i cant see herc being one of those people. I could be wrong and its just my opinion, but i agree with Steamboat and VonErich. www.Spam.com/

What he said.
But remember, a custom sculpt is only $180 (IIRC) So it's possible to have a 2nd tier person like Hercules sculpted and then cast by someone else. Even if only 10 people wanted a Herc, it's only $18 per person. So even the Iron Mike Sharpes of the world could happen (and YES, I do want an Iron Mike Sharpe, dammit!)
;D

BTW, I ordered Savage of her website. .. . the painted version will match skin tones, won't it?

Thanks wars and mikenorm for the help... i agree mikenorm that it would need to be someone enough of us is looking for...i loved how your kerry head came out..i attempted to do the face switch that ive seen some folks do where they swap out the face and ended up cutting my index finger almost down to the bone....lol i used my trusty "parts" knife on alot of customs that came out great..first time it tried to custom me...lol id love to get in on any of the guys naturally bad mentioned if ada makes them... Hercules Butch Reed Ricky Steamboat Dino Bravo Billy Jack Haynes All 3 major Vaon Erich's Adrian Adonis and i am incouraged by what wars put as far as it being possible based on costs...wars if she were to do any on bads list count me in...but i think we should take it one by one to give those of us struck rather hard by the current economy a chance to save up for each head... mikenorm, you mentioned " If you plan on playing with the figure if you seal it after painting it should be fine. " thanks for that info i was thinking of that as i am purchasing the un painted one(cheaper for me that way) and gonna try matching his tan skin tone myself... i got to get the non gloss sealer as i dont want his head to look shiney...lol next up will be ralphs sweet purple macho robe as soon as i can get the spare bucks saved to order it... im looking forward to seeing what we all do with the savage heads...and wars,how you will bring him into your fed bro:) rock on all:)

Say it with me: "CUT AWAY FROM THE BODY-- AND ALL BODY PARTS!" I see a lot of talk about wanting Kerry Von Erich, so that *might* be the next project we do. Let's get the Macho Man heads back first and see if we want to do another first, lol. Then we can ask Ralph to make some "Modern Day Warrior" or "Texas Tornado" dusters or robes, like he wore when he faced Mr. Perfect at SummerSlam. I'd love a Dino Bravo head along with accompanying gear from Ralph's. The "fleur de leis" (whatever) cape, or his red and black glittery jacket. Wars

Now, I haven't followed this thing, but will you guys be doing this for people of the late 90's? People like Road Dogg, Gangrel, ect? I'd buy those in an instant.

Not a time period I'm clamoring for, but I know others want some from that era. It might be something you or others might want to start. "DIG IT!" ;D Wars Wars

Here is a message sent to the sculptor, and her reply:
Dear Joel, I think many of your friends also bugging me everyday about this and I have said so many times that I will make the neck part exactly the same as the Jakks head you sent. Will send you photo to prove. Pls let them know about this so that I do not receive so many EMails regarding the same question.
Thanks! Ada
OK, there you have it, everyone chill out about the neck joint for now. If the pictures don't look right, we'll let her know. But she's done everything we've asked so far, and I trust she will continue to do the same in the future.
She also said she'd send photos of the neck joint in 2 days (Saturday I guess)
Thanks!!
