Eagle Head for Sixth Scale Human Body by Diao Xiang updated with Part II - Mon Sep 13, 2021 11:51 pm
For more photos, see Part II.
We've seen these sets advertised on and off, and some of us were wondering about how these heads would turn out. I picked up one of them when I found it parted out, and here is a very concise analysis. By now I have forgotten what kind of questions were being asked about these, but I would hope this covers them.
The head -- at least the eagle head design (they make different animal heads) -- comes in several pieces that attach together, depending on your needs or limitations. There is the eagle's head itself, with a standard inside neck connector (which may or may not be easily detachable). You can plug this in directly onto a figure's neck and neck peg, if it already comes with one you would want to use or cannot remove. Or, if you prefer it or need it, you can attach the head to a pretty standard neck piece that can be concealed, if needed or possible, with an additional section sculpted and painted like the eagle neck. The neck peg that comes with the head has a smaller ball joint that plugs into the neck piece and a larger ball joint that plugs into the inside neck connector in the head.
Here it is on a body with an integral neck -- it did not occur to me to see if it would be possible to fit the additional sculpted section onto the neck and below the head.
Here it is on a more conventional body without an integral neck -- I used the neck piece and additional sculpted section that came with the head.
All in all, pretty simple and neat. Not completely sure what I intend for it, but showing its potential for those who are curious.
I confess I was somewhat inspired by the Greco-Roman renditions of the Egyptian god Horus, pieces like these:
But still cringing at this monstrosity:
What do you think?
