There's also The Angel Forge, Giga Bread Digital Bakery and Ragin Spoon. Plus, you can try searching "1:18 custom heads" on eBay. Last time I checked, there were a few people with stores there.

Marauder task force has some great parts I hear. The silver female and right head could be a perfect silver sable kitbash

Selection isn't great for most of them. Edit: I meant Angel Forge has the most but the heads are mostly alien looking.

StarWarsGeek re-opened! I would have mentioned him before but I thought he was still shut down. No accessory items, but lots of head casts. Once Avacslab re-opens there will be a decent selection of choices between the two. The latter having more Vortious like accessory options.

Marauder all the way for militaristic items. The pouches, knives, working sheaths etc from Marauder cannot be beat by anyone. I wish they'd diversify their head selection a bit more. Different hair styles on the females would be nice.

Another option is spartan118. He's on FB but also has patreon set up. He had TONS of head shrinks from 1:6 and 1:12 casts down to 1:18. His casts are top notch and he paints them. I got a painted Christian Bale from him for my Dark Knight Batman custom.

Are the paint apps on baroness any better this go round?

so they're making a movie venom..

Haven't customized in ages, but with this whole pandemic thing gave me more time at home, I finished a Dragon Man I started ages ago and an Infamous Iron Man since it was a quick one. Also, made a Titus thanks to this thread since someone posted a custom of him of theirs I basically cribbed.

Now in the process of a bunch more...cause I couldn't stop. Even got out the old clay to sculpt some!

These look great. Looking forward to more. I don't know much about Dragon Man other than he belongs in the FF world. I'll look him up.

Edit: And while I do understand the financial aspects around adding a new piece like this, given that their established Tier levels were maxed at 10000 backers, some of the additional capital requirements would have already been met by the additional 4000+ backers they hadn't expected to get. So tying this to yet another 2000 backers is pretty bonkers. Maybe they do have some numbers that calculate surpassing that goal. It just seems rather lofty given the time remaining.

Nice job and Dragon Man looks like a Vort kit.

Have you seen how many backers they had PRIOR to adding new items? Have you seen them putting it together? This isn't going to be cheap for Hasbro to build this thing AND now they are including all of these other items to sweeten the incentive.

Sure did to all of the above. None of that changes a single thing I said. They might have data that supports the decision, I just don't see it happening. Nor do I think a Tri-Sentinel head has the same appeal as a Master Mold head, battle damaged head or additional 6 inch figures and won't bring in a couple of thousand more people just because of it.

Could I be wrong? Absolutely. Do I care if I am? Not in the least. I already ordered the ones I wanted and will be glad to have them. Doesn't change the fact that I think tying this head to such a large number of new backers with now 6 days to go was smart to do.

Hmmmm. Interesting points. Do you mean lofty as they may not get the 1600 mark?

Will it include two extra arms too?

They'd be better off making a big Master Mold alternate head....now THAT would be amazing because it would scale perfectly with the Marvel Universe Sentinels!


To you guys finding the new/retro Joes as Walmart, how much are they going for?

That combo does look good- I bought that head to make Silver Sable. I even bought the silver outfit female from MTF- though I think I'll be use gear from a Helix figure.

For an even better combo, I'd to get the pink haired head, a pink Bossfight body and add some black paint to make a perfect Diamondback.
You can even get tiny adhesive diamonds for her costume at Michaels art supply in their beads department.

Anyone have this stasis pod?

Scroll to the middle of the HasLab site, to see he Mastermold noggin. It's easy to miss because a looks a little too similar to the Sentinel noggin.
