Hey everyone,
I was hoping that among the many customizers, casters and general hobby enthusiasts around here one of you might know where I could find a glass dome (not really glass, of course ;D ) to go over the head of a custom I'm trying to put together. Essentially, think the Secto Viper with a longer, Mr. Freeze style look to it, as opposed to the general half-sphere shape of the Secto's gear. I've taken into consideration the helmet trophy ornament that comes with Hannibal from the Devils Due comic pack, but it's a bit large, to the point where it more or less overlaps a 25th figures shoulders. If anyone has any ideas, tips, or guidance, I'd love to hear it and would truly appreciate to help. Thanks in advance, Tom Last edited by Tom-1; 10-09-2008 at 04:04 PM.. |

Try looking for one of the 25 cent toy dispensers at store entrances next to the gumball machines. A lot of them come in little round capsules that might work for your custom.

for a small plastic dome you could try the row of $.25 vending machines (toys r us usually has a row of 'em at the exit) some of the smaller items come in tiny plastic tubs w/plastic caps. A small toy might be (like a mini-ninja) might come in the right size tub. Most of the tubs are too big, but some of the smaller tubs might work.

Use the helmet display top that came with Hannibal and 25th ace harness. Should actually work like a charm.

There's a microman figure named voltech who has a "martian in the dome helmet" look. He also has chest armor that the bubble snaps to. He would be perfect, and probably rather cheap.
