Has anyone seen a female headcast that is shaved on one side and long on the other? I think there's a cheap Walmart knockoff figure that is similar, but I skimmed through some of the usual casting sites and didn't see anything.

This is the look I'm going for:

Thanks!

What you're thinking of is the Corps figure featured here,

And they're getting much better quality these days.

Corps head mentioned should work. A little oversized and cartoonish, but not at all bad. Probably too big to work on a star wars torsos, but passable on Joes.

Oh, and they're cheap and common enough that I don't think they're being casted. You can buy the full figure sets for less than most of the casters could charge and ship them for.

And I think that figure was just released in an even cheaper 2-pack.

This one from Rodimus is shrunk down a little.

I went ahead and ordered the Rodimus one. I may pick up that CORPS set too since it's so cheap.

Thanks for the help guys. My only other solution was dremeling off one side of a figure with hair on both sides, hehe.

Could have also attached 1/2 the She Hulk hair to a Hacks blank bald head. Hers, or 1/2 the Paris pursuit Hair to a blank.

Her gun looks familiar. I've seen this on either a SW or Joe figure. Might even still have it, worth look.

You meant the Paris Pursuit Baroness? I didn't even think of looking for figures with removable hair. I was planning on using the gray HACKS buck for the body.

I was thinking of painting a Pirates of the Caribbean pistol for her gun. Did maybe one of the Clone Wars cartoon figs have a gun like that? I didn't collect them. Looks piratey.

Thanks again for the responses, I really appreciate them.

PM me if you want that corps head.
I also have a SW Plour head (the bald x-wing pilot).

I did some searching, it looks like the original Hondo Ohnaka figure had a similar gun. (The one in the white packaging).

Tsunami: I think I'm good for heads. I will either use the gray HACKS head and add hair to it, or I'll use the Vortious version of the Corps head, which is a little smaller it appears. Thanks again everyone!

I play D&D (well, Pathfinder in this case) with the same friends I've been getting together with since 1983, and I always try to make our D&D party in action figures and make little cartoons. In this case, we have that woman pictured as an NPC in our group so I wanted to take a shot at a true custom.

You could also try this pistol from the 1:18th Star Trek movie Nero figure.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Star Trek figs. I bought a huge pile of them when they were on clearance just to get the chairs and accessories. I am pretty sure I have that Nero fig. Thanks!
