Pretty much all those dolls are good for from a 1/6 perspective.... each one has maybe a handful of spare parts that can be 'debarbified' so to speak. ;p
Ah that's what the line was called, I just called them 'build fodder'! lol.

Ah, I see. I think my confusion was from my miniature painting days. Acetone would eat through polystyrene models with ease. I have not worked with vinyl models before, so I assumed it would react similar to acetone as polystyrene.
Yeah it'll eat through polystyrene immediately! ABS takes a bit longer. You only want to use it on rotocast type vinyl, like old 1/6 DID, BBI, Hasbro, Mattel etc.. heads and stuff like Vinyl Pops(?)

I certainly can't remember even an obscure little company making them, yet Hasbro did give us some really nice Gungans. They are a subspecies of Duros and we've had a few 1/6 Cad Banes so far.
Head shrunk perfectly, just rebuilding it using part of a DR Who Dalek Sec hs to do it. Found a beat up Frankenstein's Monster body from the Van Helsing movie toy line I had lying around used in some previous build at some point, it has the height and mass required for Nute Gunray but needs quite a bit of work for articulated hands, feet and neck/head. Also found a random abandoned empty suitcase today outside the house and think the red material has a cool texture which could work for Nute. Also had some broken kids jewellery inside that could be useful too.

Repaired OS feet from Hasbro Kylo Ren (was going to use on a Vader build so they were cut up)

Obviously it's not as simple as this, will need plenty of sculpting to hide seams etc..

But some 'jewels' too, could be sci-fi buttons and even LOTR Silmarils for my Morgoth build..
