UPDATES
Just to update, I was informed that Iron Mans replacement heads went out today from the UK. The next batch of replacement heads are supposed to ship out from the caster Dorgmal in our next order shipment to our mail-boy this week which should be the rest of them.
Dorgmal said the thought the necks were fine. I haven't personally held one yet.
I am getting enough people mentioning to me about wanting a non-smiling, serious Starbuck I wanted again encourage people to shout out about that if they want one to add to that interest list. Right now it has two people on it. Since it is a varaint version, we are just looking for 10 interested.
Hi Iron Man,
Honestly, the neck issues were not "ignored". I had received multiple PMs and posts from customers that the heads looked great and Dorgmal checked the sizes. No one else had mentioned any issues from many people before you.
They are a bit longer in the way Lonnie Hale feels our Trek heads need to be to account for rising uniform and coat collars. How do they look in uniform?
Also, I just got pics back of the test wig for Romana from Doctor Who and I am VERY happy with the results. The artist said her method is sort of an industry secret, so not made the way a normal wig is. This is actually made into a molded skull cap.
Since this worked, this is the wig maker and method we will use when we make Athena, Sheba, etc
Wanted to update here.
I got the Galactica heads finally myself to review size. We will be keeping this scale exclusively as mentioned potentially doing earlier since it serves both HT and Dragon well simultainiously, so going forward it will continue to be this size and new heads will be made this size so there will be no need for switching to a different HT only scale, which would be smaller.
To explain to those new to the party, Dragon and Hot Toys heads are not notmally the same size, but can be sometimes because head sizes are not consistantly even between the same company. There is a happy medium where a size works for both.
Knowing this means we will go ahead and more Galactica heads. I will uopdate when I get more of a timeframe but we will work on getting Boomer and a SB with longer hair out within a month or so, then for early 2013 do Athena (bald, with wig).
More info soon. The HT orders will go out when the new Starbuck with longer hair, as planned unless anyone just wants the current version. LMK.
