I wanted to post an update about our plans for Slater and Kidder. We have hired a new wig maker who makes wigs using a special process where the hair is woven into specially molded cap and is made fitted specifically for each characters head.

We hired her to make a test wig for one of our Doctor Who heads, Romana, and just got the first pics back and are very happy with the results. This is what we were waiting for to go forward with Kidder and Slater. Wigs cost approx $65 each.

I personally don't have an opinion on the wigs vs sculpted hair argument, other than if the character has really long hair, it is impractical to make it sculpted.

Slater needs a wig. We will sell her bald head by itself when she gets enough interest. Heads are $60. You don't need to buy our wigs, but she will only be made bald.

For Kidder we have two choices. Long hair wigged or pulled back sculpted.

Because we are throwing these decisions out to you, we are wiping the interest lists clean until you let us know who you want now that we are offering them this way to know you are still interested, and in the case of Lois, telling us your preference. As always, we need 16 interested per character version to go.

Sarah Douglas has been assigned to Fred, our artist who did Shane from Walking Dead for us, so we will be seeing her first out of the three.

Though none of these three heads were meant to be offered with clothing as our tailors are already so overbooked, I will knock around the forum here to see if we can get Douglas' costume made by someone (first), then Slaters costume.

Re: Kidder, Douglas, Slater (reborn!)

URSA is actually in the middle of being sculpted now by Fred who made our Shane from Walking Dead and we had talked to Moe about making her costume once the head was done.

Right now we finishing up some other interest lists so we wont start another character off this list since we are already working a character off of it until Ursa is done.

Re: Kidder, Douglas, Slate- wig question

I reckon that Romana wig looks great. I'd have no issues if Lois and Supergirl came with a wig. What would prices look like with the wig?

I'm still in anyway for the 2

Lois - hair down! But if I wanted to really push my luck, I'd like this

Which might be more doable with the pony tail

Thanks for the feedback! The heads would be $60, and the wigs are $60-$65. Wig cost actually changes by hairstyle and how complicated it is, but neither of these characters long hair is that different from Romanas so should be the same.

I am also keeping note you want a hair-up Lois version.
Thanks!
 
Re: Kidder, Douglas, Slate- wig question

I would love to have Slater with a wig if possible. If the head sculpt are good I am willing to pay the extra cost. Lois, hair down for sure.
 
Have you considered doing any of the heads from Smallville? I have a HeadPlay Tom Welling, but I'd love to improve my custom Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) and Kristin Kreuk (Lana).
