Desperate to find a 1/12 skull

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey guys, I'm working on a Blight custom from Batman Beyond. I have the body pretty much finished, Iv been looking everywhere for a figure with a decent skull to finish. Would anyone be able to recommend something please? Thanks

Well that sucks, I know the cost of international shipping for everything has gotten stupidly ridiculous the last few years.

Maybe try Casting Cave under the "Monster Heads" category? I know there have been a couple of realistic skull casts there before, I got one a while back called "screaming skull" which I think may be a cast from a Deadman figure, but it looks good.

Also, before I forget, it is the Halloween season and you may try local shops to see if they have any novelty or decoration items that could provide you with a decent skull. A while back (undisclosed number of years) I went with some friends to a large party supply store before Halloween and they had these key rings with a small, fairly realistic looking skull attached the end which would work out great on a figure in the 6-7" range.

Oh yeah that could work, also stuff like PEZ dispensers, sometimes even drink stirrers have useful attachments, hair pins, etc

Thanks for the reply Nightmare... I'm looking to make him in a lrealistic style somewhat but it's proving tough... He'll hopefully be in line with the Arkham series. How are you going about it?

Going by your other customs I'm excited to see your version. I have the body pretty much done, have to wait 3 weeks for the head. I used a Heros tv series figure, same principle,completely clear figure. I want to try have cast clear plastic around the skull, Iv 3 weeks to research

What style are you going for? A realistic skull will look weird on an animated custom, for example.
