Italy can offer Marco Prunotto, Dario Barbera (Kaustic PlastiK), and Alessio Salitore (Savage Sadboys Customs).
Could be Sebastian Bontemps? He went by Elvis1976, but I haven't seen him posting for years. He was quite the talented custom artist.Thx for the tips ^ . Kaustic PlastiK, I recognise that name; didn't know they were from Italy.
I remember there was a talented guy from Brussels, I just can't remember his name... .
Yes the profile is public..just type the hashtag #rickdeckard & go to the recent posts & you will see the figure just a few short posts down the list.
The expression was fine. The head was just a bit too narrow and old looking for my taste. Although from an angle it kinda worked okay.High praise for the sculpt. As I recall, Inigo had a pretty good stern expression for Deckard, no?
I still have this custom head, which I bought so long ago, I don't recall from whom I bought it. Seriously, must be more than 10 years ago. I thought it was an outstanding likeness, and I still do. It came with waterslide decal eyes. Unfortunately never going to get it painted I think. Who could do such a job? I think what stops me, is that I live in EU and don't want to ship the head to the other side of the globe.
I love this sculpt. Just update parts of the outfit and you should be good to go.View attachment 559908
Here is my original in comparison.
Remember my original will obviously be better but to give everyone an idea of the original vs this one
Mark Simpson in the UK is a fantastic painter.I still have this custom head, which I bought so long ago, I don't recall from whom I bought it. Seriously, must be more than 10 years ago.

Darren Carnall is in the UK, he has a Patreon account and is on FB.I still have this custom head, which I bought so long ago, I don't recall from whom I bought it.

Marco's work is phenomenal, he's also on FB.Italy can offer Marco Prunotto, Dario Barbera (Kaustic PlastiK), and Alessio Salitore (Savage Sadboys Customs).
If it's hollow vinyl then that could be fixed with a hair dryer. Heat the head, squish it till it looks right and cool it under a cold tap.I can’t really tell but it looks like the dark toys head has been shrunken on both sides and the neck is also very narrow.
Hope to see better in hand pics.
