Enlarging action figure heads?

Posted in Custom Workstation

I have found a lot of info on shrinking heads, but nothing substantial on making them bigger. I know custom sculpting is an option, but I was thinking more along the idea of using a 3D printer to scan and enlarge the heads to 12" scale, then to repair any imperfections before casting reproductions for my own use. Is this a possibility, or does this technology even exist? Any other ideas? Any input is welcome.

Hydrospan is the best EXPANDING RESIN on the market.

It basically uses water to expand it. Remember those little toys as kid, like a dinosaur that "grew" by soaking it overnight? Same principle.
