I also tried making Scarlett look a little more attractive and she ended up looked liking a crack whore clown. I had to buy another figure because it looked so terrible.

What about dremeling the mask off and then doing what Obi said and adding a ball jointed head. Go with a SW one( maybe a clone head) I've always found that the SW figs have better neck balls than Joes, then re attach the mask with some wire or something. Dremel out the helmet and then add some green stuff and mash it on the head so it creates a reverse mold of the head inside the helmet and stays on better.

Well I'm still tossing around the idea of bashing a 25th neckpost on there and adding a different head, but I'm not sure... I mean, really the 25th heads just turn left and right, the up and down action is virtually non-existant. And that huge helmet would certainly not be able to go up and down much, it has a problem just turning left and right.
Very carefully trim the neck post down(backside), right under the ball, about half way down the neck(where the bottom edge of the head sits), and half way around the neck from side to side. Test fit/move as you go along. I've done this to just about every 25th fig I've customized, and it works beautifully. You can see this technique below(notice the inward cut just below the head) - |

I'm thinking about resculpting the face mask, the way it is now it's not very... not sure how to describe what I mean, but it's not very thick. It looks almost as if it's just his face sculpted differently and painted red. I want to have something that looks more like a mask, and sticks out from his face a little.

Oh hey, one more thing D. You might want to consider lowering the helmet a tad bit on whatever head you choose. As is, it sits rather high. The brim should cover over the eyes, like a ball cap - more or less.

Not sure if that will be doable. The helmet kinda sits on his shoulders as it is, unless I can figure a way to make his head/neck sit higher without looking like a giraffe.

You could always make those back lower parts of the helmet separate pieces form the helmet... maybe glue them onto some sort of material, so it can flex a little when put on the head. I'm pretty sure that's how they were made in real life, where they were movable or something like that.

It's ok.
JK Budo was and still is in my top 3 favorite Joes of all time and I just don't have the skills to do him justice so I avoid even trying. Great to see some one else be brave and succeed. |
