Does anyone know if there's any good cyborg heads out there in the Joe scale?

I'm looking for something good for my Overkill custom.
Ideally, the closer to something like Overkill's 12" figure, the better, but any suggestions help.

Here are a couple from Vortius Customs and Onyx PhoenixProductions, but I believe it is the same head. What about the cyborg headed War Machine from Iron Man?

There is a Chap Mei figure that reminds me of the Borg.

Can't recall the name of that line or character, but it might work.

Dunno how much work you're willing to do, but I'd try grafting a robotic (or even just skeletal) jaw onto a random head. Cut at the lip line or just below the nose and glue, maybe sculpt some extra skin on over the gap to hide it a bit.

Don't know if anyone is still doing it

No, that's more of a Terminator missing skin than a cyborg.
Also, Angelforge's shipping to Canada is just ludicrous so they're sadly not an option.

They are indeed the same head. And they're robots rather than cyborgs.

...maybe? Got a pic?

Proooobably Stellar Force.
I've seen it at Starwarsgeek but it'd work more for the Robot Rebellion/Sigma Six-style Overkill than the Spy Troops one.

...it's less about being willing and more about being able. I am incredibly clumy and my hands are so shaky I am literally incapable of drawing a straight line.

Haven't seen that specific one anywhere but I thought I'd hit the jackpot with this other Cyborg Superman head from Starwarsgeek.

It is freakin' gorgeous, but sadly it's a bit too large to work well on standard Joe bodies... especially if you plan on putting a scarf and helmet on top of it all.

Apologies if I'm sounding to choosy with this, by the by.

Might need to see a better close-up of the head but so far that looks like it could work!

Is it a rare figure? If it's Iron Man 2 I never even saw that wave locally.

And I couldn't tell you about rarity. I got mine in a trade.

Huh, that really does look like it might work.

Wonder if any casters might have one...

Oh it turns out Angelforge is still selling it.

It looks great, sadly the shipping costs are a bit prohibitive for me. Also I'm uncertain if it'd fit under a Storm Rider scarf...
