I am doing a custom Outback (One of my favorite figures as a kid). I have everything I need but the head. I have seen some great ones on this site and need some help. My custom uses Snake Eyes as a base and Storm Shadow upper arms. And a Shipwreck and Roadblock hand. So you can understand the scale.
Is there a place selling custom Outback heads? OR What version of Obi Wan kenobi figure should I use on Outback? How much construction does it take to make that head fit? (I know nothing about SW figures so bare with me) Any information would be very helpful!

If you're going to use an Obi-wan head, try one of the 30th anniversary ones released early last year if you can still find them. What I'm doing for mine is taking breaker's head and making the beard from sculpy. The heads a bit big for your's but I'm using a roadblock body.

Wow - I was just about to ask the same thing! However - my version is a bit different. I was hoping to avoid the sculpting as it is not my best talent yet...
Does Alyosha or GTG have an outback head? |

To my memory both have a hair style fairly similar to Outback's. |

If you use an obi wan head, I'd use the legacy version just released recently (not the clone wars version). A very mean looking obi wan it is.
Otherwise, if you look up Alyosha on Broken Arrow Toys, I'm guessing you can find a good fit. |

Thanks for the heads up guys! I bought the Legacy Cllection one. I sculpted the bandana on all the sudden its Outback. I did have to change necks from the two because the star wars ball is much bigger. It did come together quickly. I still have to do some A LOT of work to do on the paint (like match skin tone) but I am pretty happy with this custom figure.
