New DiD Headsculpt - Dolph Lundgren?

[Mau]

I would be really interested to see some in hand pictures, pinder91. If it is a good likeness, I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for a head on feeBay.

Got me looking now. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for some close ups of the head. Yes, I agree with you. It does look like an attempt at Dolph. The mouth is the giveaway. Not entirely successful, though. Not enough brows and mandibles. A pleasant enough head, nonetheless.

Pretty damn good likeness. But the hair is all wrong for most of the custom I've people want it for here.

Check Amazon.com. Part of their "never before on DVD" section...

It's also available for viewing (and downloading) on YouTube (with no commercials) for free.

Well, the good news it that it arrived today. The bad news is that Dolph is completely lost with it. It is much narrower than I was expecting.

WARNING: Pics taken with my phone.

Here's a comparison with Rocco's Punisher and WGP's Trad. Indy.

On top of the body I'll be using for my He-Man (TTM20). Obviously it looks even worse with the double giraffe neck.

And Rocco's just for another comparison.

I'm hoping I can warm it up with some hot water and squish it a bit wider. Or maybe I'll cast up some copies that I can butcher to make a more recognizable Dolph.

I'm just not seeing a convincing Dolph likeness in that sculpt. Too bad because I could really use a good one for Gunnar.

 

[Mau]

Yeah, you can see that it is based on him, but it is definitely not him. That's a real shame. A good Dolph-in-his-prime head would be very welcome.

I concur.

Asides from the HOT TOYS Ivan Dragon version of Dolph from a couple of years ago, I'm surprised there has been no general offerings from other companies based on his likeness.

With the advent of all these smaller run/fly by midnight type groups/workshops in China/Hong Kong and the number of generic muscle bodies be utilized in OEM style I'm surprised no one has yet to offer a 1:6 RED SCORPION figure yet. Maybe ART FIGURES may get around to it soon.

Based on the images at the head of the page it's definitely more Dennis Leary than dolph lundgren.
Perhaps DID we're trying to make Leary for the spiderman connection?

I'd think at this point Rocco's head is going to be your best option... even the HT head is pretty dated looking now. I think Rocco's could look pretty impressive if you lowered it on the body added hair.

Over the months of staring at this sculpt every time I walk past my Detolf, I keep seeing some of Dolph's likeness poking out. Maybe it was just wishful thinking due to the disappointment, and I was wanting to see something. Either way, it's been driving me nuts. I finally decided the eyes are the main problem.

Just covering the eyes seemed to make the Dolph-ness come out.

Follow that up with a little photoshop magic... Hair lightened, eyes dropped down, spread apart, and 5% larger.

It's still got a ways to go, but definitely a step in the right direction... I think. I might be able to Frankenstein a sculpt out of this after all. Thoughts?

I still think it's meant to be Captain Stacy.

 

[pinder91]

There's definitely a good bit of both of them in this sculpt. I can't argue that.

Well, it was Dolph in the original sculpt. I don't know who it is now. I see what you mean about seeing Lundgren when masking the eyes, but am not sure its salvageable. Hopefully it is. Don't see Leary in there at all.
