Greetings all. I was thinking how I wish Hasbro would include variant heads with all the Marvel figures they make as they have been doing it on a few such as Punisher, Dark Phoenix & Nuke for example. So I was looking for a way to make an alternate DD head & I was looking at all the extra heads in my fodder box when I came upon the modern Boomerang head with the gritted teeth & thought to myself that would work with the extra DD head I had in my fodder box. So this is the 1st time I have ever attempted head splicing surgery so I was a bit nervous I would totally botch this up & lose 2 good Marvel legends heads in the process. Well after nuking a bowl of water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, I dumped both heads in for like 1 minute to make them extra soft for my exacto blade. I cut both heads in half where I needed them to be. I then sliced off a bit more from both heads to get them to be as flush with each other as possible. Once I was satisfied that the upper/lower halves matched, I used some superglue to put em together & let it dry overnight. Next day I started painted the flesh tones & the red on the lower part of Boomerang's face to match the upper half of DD's face. I think it came out pretty decent & now I have 2 alternate heads for DD to use in my fight scenes, but I'll let the rest of you critique & leave your comments on how it came out. Thanks for looking.   Please wait... |

The dark red wash is to make the recesses in the mouth look more natural, looks better than just using black. (Also works well for eyes, though not here of course)
Yeah, you'll most likely need to "brush his teeth" after doing this lol. You can just dab some off-white on the teeth to clean them up.
I know this sounds like overkill, and it probably is since this is a comic-style custom, but maybe you'll give it a try on a future project and like the results
Also, maybe give the teeth a wash with a little dark red or grey, just so they don't look like a solid block of white
