Anyone know if the Nobody Toys Dreamcatcher head sculpt would fit the Virtual Toys VTS 004 Gang US figure...?

The Gang US figure does not come with a body if I remember correctly, so if you get a Hot Toys TT, TTL V1 or V2 or an ACI body, it'll fit not problem.

do you guys know if this a Feng Head ?

or is it a recast of it? Sorry to be a noob about it, I haven't been paying much attention to this thread.

I don't know if "recast" is the right word, but that is effectively what it is.

It is an official release, but it does not have the detail of the few that Feng sold himself.

 

[Maglor]

Here's Fengs:

Better paint, and more defined sculpt.



...also a lot more expensive.




...and sold out.


So the Dreamcatcher is a nice alternative. Although it seems to be a little smaller than the original.

[CTO15]

[Cheungkinmen]

I was thinking about the likeness comparison issue today, and I think I realized why the Headplay sculpt looks more like Leo to me.

The hardest faces to capture are those with the fewest pronounced facial features. Leo has a very well proportion face, which means that it's hard for a sculptor to focus on certain features. Take Sunohc's Arthur for example. It is not a terribly accurate likeness in my opinion, but it absolutely brings out certain features of JGL's face (dumbo ears, long distance from eyes to lips). Sunohc's Arthur is almost a caricature of Joseph Gordon Levitt. A caricature is defined as "a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness." This is why Arthur works.


I think the Headplay sculptor has managed to do this with Dicaprio, which as I said is difficult because his face is so evenly proportioned. The only feature that I can put my finger on is the one that gets the most criticism: The squinty eyes. They are exaggerated a bit, but they make me think of Cobb.





So while Fengs perhaps gets the ratios closer to correct, it doesn't remind me of Leo as much.

Feng's is amazing, but unavailable now. So now I believe the best on the market and definitely a bang for the buck is Head Play's.

Hopefully I'll be ordering it next week, but since I live in the US and buying from Hong Kong, I wont have it for over two weeks. Ill post it as soon as I get it.

Theres a few in-hand pictures on Google now. It looks good, except I think that neck is a bit too long.
