Head still feels just a tad big to me. Certainly don't want a pinhead like HT's Dutch. The Terminator Arnie heads are perfect in scale. I'd suggest using one of those as a size reference.

Deleted, but........ maybe he/she wanted it?

Thanks.

Thanks.

actually originally used the ht terminator as a measurement but for whatever reason it turned out too big

I think it looks fine, but not having hair is throwing it off a bit. Still, I think the size is correct.

Looks better but I think the haired version will still seem too big. Hard to say without seeing it though. But the bald one does look better and more in scale!

what are the measurements of the DX10 head and we can just use that. It's a fine fitting head, correct?

I'd get them myself but i don't own the figure

The head is barely wider than the neck, so I think that it's good. If the bald head is fine, then the haired version has to be fine as well.

Revised head def fit much better. Personally, I think it looks perfect now. Can't see why sculpted hair would make it worse, but ya don't know until ya know.

Sean, for me it looks better, much better. We are driving you crazy but is it possible to take a pciture next to another naked body with an arnie head?

Loving it more and more!

The overall size with sculpted hair will be bigger than a simple bald one, simple logic. I'd like to see how that one reduced in size looks. As that was the one we saw originally that suggested the heads where too big in the first place!

Which one did you use? DX10 or DX13 BD? The BD heads are a little bigger than the DX10. Personally I prefer the Dx13 size. Do you have a HT MOS Superman head lying around? That would definitly too big. How about postingsome comparisson shots with other heads?

As for size comparisson I will post a picture of all 3 DX Terminator heads in a few minutes. Maybe this will help you to find out wether the size is correct or not. Check the scale on the eyes, mouth etc and dont look too much at the overal size. Hes bald and should be overall smaller than a haired head. As for bald heads, I always liked the size of headplays Vin Diesel.

I'm pretty sure the head is with the mold maker, not sure if he has other Arnold or male heads readily available right now. That is my TTM20 I sent out to him so referencing against other heads might be difficult.

I'm pretty sure the dx13 is what it was based on, obviously somehow it's come out much bigger.

I still believe we should go with the DX10 size head, it's not smaller like the Tech Noir heads or big like the DX13.

If anybody has the time to just measure up the DX10 it would be a massive help. Length and width of the head for a rough idea of how big

:cuckoo:Heres a quick pic for size comparisson. Done with the iphone 5 cam so lems distortion might be an issue. I have added a ruler just to be save.

From my view I still prefer the DX14 head but can see why people lean towards DX10. DX10 is more in scale with Thor TDW (a little bit smaller) for example so the overall appeareance should be fine. DX13 is comparable to MRM Joker where noone ever complained about the size.

I habe both heads lying here is any meassurements are needed.

Very fair. I just think that since the head was shrunk and looks pretty fit, I'd imagine the sculpted hair would as well, but of course, a picture is worth a thousand words.

The overall size with sculpted hair will be bigger than a simple bald one, simple logic. I'd like to see how that one reduced in size looks. As that was the one we saw originally that suggested the heads where too big in the first place!

UPDATE

Also good to keep in mind there will probably be some shrinking from the printed head to the final casts... so the new size is probably just about right all things considered.

What's goin on here

Re: Conan The Barbarian (1982) Head Sculpt [sdabbs] - PAYMENT INFO 1ST POST

Sean sent me over pictures of the new print size for the head this morning

I think the size is good personally. The Haired head possibly looks bigger than the bald in a couple of the pics but i think that is due to distortion and the angle of the photo, i don't think the head can/should go smaller or else it may look strange on the body
