With that said, please note that my adapters only work with first-generation trooper figures. Marauder changed up the t-bar design when they released the Agency Ops figures and they eventually revised the t-bars in the troopers as well. I have a no-crack variant available for male figures (excluding WWII figures...yet another t-bar minor change) but it's not in what I would call "perfected" status. It needs some more refinement but it's still usable. I don't list it publicly on Shapeways because I don't feel like it's fully ready for primetime but if you want to try them out you can get to the listing here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/JU...b5fe21a9311850 And you can see how they work in a WIP post I made about them here: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/5204707-post192.html

The no-crack one looks like EXACTLY what I’d need! I get paid tomorrow, so I’ll order mine then. Thank you SO much for letting me know about this, Zap!

I found out today that eBay took down Jokafobe's store. I'm hoping it's a misunderstanding, because I loved buying custom heads from him.
In the event he's not able to get his stuff back up and running, are there any other people/sites you'd recommend to get custom heads? I know Avacslab is coming back soon. |

Raginspoon's always been good to me, even if they're often out of stock of a lot of stuff (and compared to say, Avacs or Vortious, the selection's a bit more limited). I've also bought from Vortious, but delivery took like a year and two reminder emails (the parts are very nice tho). I'm thinking of ordering something from Angel Forge in the near future as well. Other than those four, I don't know all that many names in the casting game.
Edit: damnit, forgot Gigabread, but that's one I've only used for very particular things, because the casts are limited runs and it's a very small selection. I bought the Dreadnoks they had tho, and they're works of art. The Baroness head I used for my Marauders custom was also from there. |

Avoiding Angel Forge was the smart thing a year ago. No idea if they righted the ship, but I doubt it.

I'm still iffy about Angel Forge after I ordered two heads which never arrived. Vortious took forever with an order after I had to send a ton of e-mails.
I should look into Raginspoon and Gigabread, though. I'm also looking through eBay to see if anyone else makes and has a good selection of custom heads and possibly long coats, too. I know I've used the lab coat the Rise of Cobra line and if I can find anymore like those, I'll be happy. |

I would appreciate any feedback regarding the following question and Pic below.
How could I improve/change the way the eyes were painted (on the Vorona head) so they match either the aesthetic/style of the RoC scarlett (to the left) or the retro scarlett (to the right)? Last edited by Chucez; 07-28-2022 at 03:31 AM.. |

Fellas, correct me if I’m wrong, but gigabread has been closed for maybe a year or two. I talked to him at joefest and he was having an issue (think it was something about the website) that was preventing him from reopening.
if anybody has his torch head I could buy or trade for that would be fabulous.

Also. Angelforge told me maybe two months ago that they were still on hiatus.
As for who is available: I got an order from spartan 118 recently, very pleased, could take a month to get but that’s not too bad. Cobra1678 on eBay is top notch. Level7 is excellent. Of course raginspoon is excellent. Avacs too but he’s been closed for over a year I think.
