Headsculpts and sizes

Hi Friends,
i have a problem with all the Headsculpts. For my short figures i need short ones, for the tall bodys i need big ones. Otherwise, a big figure with a short Head looks not realistic. Here are some Friends who have many Headsculpts. I think it will be Great to see some sculpts side by side in a picture, so we can see the difference ?

Good idea. Everyone, go!

I think someone (edwick?) had begun a database of (female?) heads, although it was mostly about color matching -- on the old forum.

Ephiane, in the short term, it might be helpful if you give us some more information as to what you are looking for in particular -- e.g., male or female, and which bodies you are talking about.

I do have a "database" of male heads I keep for reference (to help me locate them or to make sure I don't buy more than one), photographed on identical torso bases (you can see both of them in the photo below, although one of them is mostly covered up by the ripped t-shirt), but they are far too many to upload even in sets.



There's also this, for a recent thread about fitting heads on the most petite new TBLeague body (the question was only about proportion, not color match). The actual thread is HERE.



Hope this helps.

I don't have much experience with matching heads onto seamless bodies (yet), so I cannot advise about what works best with those in particular. But when I was using some taller COOmodel (male) bodies, for instance, I had tried the more realistic Hot Toys style heads at first, but they were too small for the body and looked strange. But when I tried the bodies with a Sideshow (or Sideshow-'style') resin sculpt, they looked a bit better. Now, I don't always go for 100% realism, as I am sometimes creating figures based on animated characters, or animated versions of characters, but I do nonetheless still prefer the heads to be relatively to-scale, where possible. The older style of Sideshow heads are oft-mocked for being 'melonheads' (and for often bearing less than desirable paint jobs), *but* in certain circumstances, they do have their uses. ; )  Also, I realize that not everyone likes to use resin headsculpts, but thought I'd mention just in case. : )

When it comes to matching female headsculpts with bodies (whether jointed or seamless)....I am still agonizing over this figuring this out myself, lol. ;p
