That may fix what bro? I think the SS head is better sculpted and better painted, while the MC on is the right size, you were thinking about adding heat vision to the MC one?

I think the advantage for SS is the multiple heads, and fabric suit. if you add heat vision to medicoms head, it takes that advantage away. If the medicom skin tone was darker, that would further increase its aesthetics. Medicom is better articulated, and is a better body then Hot toys. IMO.

Man, the proportions are instantly fixed, I can't say MC's head is better, but the proportions sure are, if someone thinks the MC head is too small, they can no longer see correct proportions thanks to SS

In terms of size, it looks like the head sculpts are on the wrong bodies

Go to page 184 to see the head swap.

Like you say, maybe my eyes can't adjust back to normal, after the SSC Superman.
I actually don't think the SSC Head is too big, just that the body isn't heavily muscled enough.
In my opinion, the MC head is too small. Looks like a beetlejuice caricature or something.

If I had the talent/abilities, I would do the Cocoboloboy body mod (page 190) or OneThousandMasks body mod (also seen on page 190). For me, those bodies/head proportions are right on for a 1/6 Supes

Is the glass half full or half empty? Regardless of how you chose to perceive it, The head and body are out of proportion.

If you don't know history, you are doomed to repeat it.

If the SS head can be considered 5% too big than that head on the left is definitely 10% too small.

Personally, I think the SS head is just fine.

Nope, not for Superman. Measure it and see. You would have to use the Heroic one since he is Superman. Plus you bulk his body up so the head looks a little better.

That picture on the comic back looks much more Superman proportion to me

 

[EVILFACE]

Medicoms looks awful all around.

SS's figure is already made and out. Head size is what it is.

Mod em and move along.

:exactly: No way around it, it just doesn't have the correct proportions out of the box, period, you mod it, make it look awesome? Sweet, but that's not how it came out.

It is but it's got the right proportions.

Looks great. Might need to have a slightly higher collar line.

Thanks a lot.
I did a little bit of a different mod this morning at work.
Drilled two BBs with a .8mm drill bit. Painted the holes black, then drilled another hole 3.5mm wide(But only just breaking the surface), and painted that sky blue.
I added pegs at the back and fitted them to the head. I will be building the area up with a few coats of gloss varnish. But i wanted to take pics and see how it looked. There's a really nice 3D effect right now, especially close up.
I also thinned out the jawline. It really helps making the neck seem less scrawny.

The larger irises really make him seem less "surprised"

Looks very good!

You should add epoxy on it. Would be perfect!

Translucent epoxy on the eyes to make them shiny and create that little convex bubble where the pupil is!
