I have some ghost buster traps that are cool cryo chambers

I know Vort does Microscopes and test tubes if that helps!

McFarlane's Monsters Frankenstein sets. Both sets had experiment tables/platforms. The second set had lab accessories.

Some of GI Joe Rise of Cobra movie figures had nanite canisters & laptop accessories.

GI Joe Hazard viper figure has some cool stuff including hazmat suit.

For that matter if you find the Burger King Frankenstein, he has a table too. The World Peacekeepers HQ Bunker comes with a plain table and could make an interesting lab. I found a nice candelabra at Hobby Lobby in the doll furniture section.


CCC.

There are some good ideas for lab stuff in the playset thread.

I'll update it with some more stuff too.

Gashapons are good too

Other ideas
 

Am late to the party here but has anyone tried the walking dead or halo figures for compatibility?

And I love all the new kick starters. They can't come soon enough

Welcome Kalzeth! i used a couple of grunt figures for background cosmic alien fodder and haven't gotten around to customizing Tartarus as an Asgardian troll/ogre. i've seen some 3.75 inch WD head casts too.

Can you point me to those head casts? That would be much appreciated!

Bloody beans! I went looking for a ReAction ET for a custom and can't find him for less than $20! What is this nonsense?

Grimes custom head cast for 1:18,

NC236

You can search for others there. He's got some awesome stuff.

Dang. That's amazing. Is there a way to find them on the site? I know they are avoiding the names for a reason.

Asked the site owner. He says that's the only one. Am bummed I love those heads!

If you have deep pockets you can have ANY existing figure head shrunk down to our scale and cast from

GlassmanCustoms | Welcome to GlassmasnCustoms webstore

Don't use glasscustoms if you want a clean job. Maybe on heads he is ok but I asked a helmet shrink and I was really disappointed.

Contact https://www.facebook.com/steven.e.hamm his work is very clean and perfect.

I would do this but it's not just the fee to shrink. It's also acquisition of the 6" head because I don't have them (don't collect them). I wonder if there is a way to crowdsourcing an effort to get more 6" shrunk down since a cast could benefit a lot of people.

Do any of these folks who do custom shrinkings ever put their work in a store? I mean know they have shrunken heads (heh) in their store, but if I wanted one done, I'd want it available for everyone.

Stopped at TRU Today and got the Wild Kratts Tortuga playset on clearance, then went around the other side and found...


THE WALL....


from Game of Thrones, so if anyone is still looking for this one, try TRU.

Im always looking for people to go in to get legends shrunk the more the merrier

Shrinking heads takes time and it's not a cheap process. Requires lots of sylicone that is not cheap. Basically it's a 3 to 4 step procedure to get the head in the right size. Each cast reduces a bit. Once you get the desired size you need to obtain a mold out of it for which you will cast the final heads. The shrinking process also takes time and is heavily influenced by the weather.

Prize wise is very close to what glassmancustoms charges. So the best to save costs is to get a few friends interested in the same head so that you can reduce the shrinking cost a bit.

Steve shrinks and casts lots of stuff but it's for his own personal work. If he has the mold maybe he can cast you guys stuff.

I'm not known, nor do I have a store, but I've done some 1/12 to 1/18 hydroshrinking and it's not so bad. Takes time and the hydroshrink can be finicky, but once you get the hang of it it's kind of a satisfying process. I've shrunk NECA Nathan Drake, Kratos, Duke Nukem, Chris Redfield, the GoTG2 maskless Star Lord, Civil War Winter Soldier, Black Series Han Solo, SOTA Ryu, Ken, and Sagat and now I'm in the process of shrinking some of the Sideshow Bonds. So we'll see how the 1/6 process goes.

No need to shrink Daniel Craig's head. The Golden Compass figure has that taken care of. I think Vortious has that one.

Have you tried to shrink torso's to go with the heads?
I would love a ML Black Cat one & a DC Power Girl one.
I was annoyed when Hasbro just didn't down-size the ML version for the 3.75" one.

I did try to shrink NECA Drakes torso when I did the head, but it was the first thing I ever tried and I couldn't get it to work. I'm sure, however, a more normal torso can be done. I'd imagine most people don't shrink anything more than heads because of the amount of material used. The other issue I see with shrinking torsos is getting the top and bottom halves to line up perfectly. The shrinking process is more often than not trial and error.

I would only bother to do a new Craig head if I find a really good inexpensive 1/6 version. The Golden Compass has worked for everyone and it's great, but if I do decide to open a store I'd want completely original work to sell. Vort and Avac and everyone else have everything already covered, so I'd rather have a niche specialty store like Glassman.

Do you guys think there's enough interest?

If you guys search "MTF Nathan Drake" and "MTF Han Solo" on Facebook, you can see a few pics of the shrink down heads. I need to take better pics and do some touch ups to the paint, but I'm pretty happy with them.

Shrinking torsos from what I was told is very tricky. Why? Because torsos are not solid pieces has an arm, leg or head. Torsos are normally hollow and the plastic thickness is not proportional to a 4'' figure. This means when you shrink all dimensions are reduced (height, length and thickness) which can lead to a very thin piece. Solid torsos would work ok I guess but not sure they exist in 6''. for example in 4'' those Hydra troops torsos were almost solid. I guess one way to go would be to have a cast of the original torso filled in but that adds a lot of work.

Not impossible but you need need extra work and creativity to overcome this limitation I described above.
