damn...this reminds me of that james bond headsculpt from a few years ago...seeing it in comparison to a RM head which run a bit on the big side as it is...well....it brings a tear of sadness to my eye...this head would best fit a 13 inch body to save it...unfortunately....while the body is prolly available...it will be a cheap DC body....and then there's the clothing aspect to this as well...
 
^^^ u are correct. rm sculpt heads are on the bigger side and this one looks bigger than the bill even with all the hair around bill. Bill however carries a 3 piece costume. Also arnie figure tends to be slightly taller so it's easier to carry the arnie head size and again with shirt and leather jacket - but this one looks quite big compared to that too. (The issue is that even small mill difference and the fact that the wife beater will hug as bare to the body there is no play one can do with clothing etc to manage that size :(

I have a Prince of Persia Dastan and Predators Royce TTM19 equivalent. Those are a little wider and taller in the neck area from the original TTM19. One of those may work for this head sculpt. If I can get one of these heads from MJ, I'll try it out and post some pics.
 
That looks like 1/5.5 or 1/5 head instead of 1/6 head. I don't think there's a generic suitable body out there. Even if there's one with enough mod done to it, it'll be a stand alone piece as it'll dwarf out any 1/6 figures next to it IMO.
 
Just a real fast pic on a TTM20 muscular body (Arnie size). It works pretty well. Unfortunately, you would have to display it away from other figures or it just wouldn't look right.

You've got to admire the artistry of the sculpt and paint job, but for $250 you'd expect it to be genuine 1/6 scale , surely?
 
Maybe just swap the rubber body part into a TTM 19 body to get the right proportion of arm and height with a beefed up neck of TTM 20?
That might be an option. I'd have to undress one of my figures with the TTM19 body to see if it works. Can't do that right now though.
 
But the arm hole would be too big for the TTM 19 arms though, I just remembered.

It'll be like he's drowning in a muscle vest, as the arms would be visible when he's wearing the tank. Maybe pad the TTM 19 neck to similar circumference as the TTM 20.
 
using a muscular body will throw it off completely. While Bruce Willis is definitely broad chested - he is not bulked up like a bodybuilder - considering all of this would be in a vest / wife beater outfit it will be quite tricky! I am also sure some "more creative" people would do some mods etc and make it look great on a body but for 90 pct people probably such a good sculpt - only if it was a tad bit smaller would have been wonderful!

Honestly my learning lesson is to stay away from figures where arms and chest are completely exposed (at least on customs front). I was really interested in the sculpt but i guess - sigh! That's another reason why you don't see rainmans shirtless version of cabbie being displayed that often! It's almost always a struggle!

However to give due credit - the sculpt in itself is gorgeous!!! Absolutely stunning likeness!
