TK-1776 Posted May 9, 2017 20 minutes ago, Mamma Mia Bricks said: Nail polish seems to ruin the plastic of the heads. Any suggestion or alternative to remove a secondary face from the back of the head? A regular pencil eraser works well, I'm sure it probably takes longer than using brasso or something, but you can take off parts you don't want to erase very easily. You just have to rub really hard for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justjonnoh Posted May 9, 2017 I don't have these pieces yet so I had to put together these images..but I'm just wondering peoples opinion on this? Also, I don't know what hair would be good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaderFan2187 Posted May 9, 2017 @justjonnoh Yes, it looks good. For hair, I recommend Finn's hairpiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cult_Of_Skaro Posted May 9, 2017 Even though the widow's peak isn't quite right, the 2010 Draco Malfoy hair might be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The size of the hair would be ok, but everything else is kinda off. The texture should be Finn's hair and the sizing should be Draco's hair. Maybe Lego will make something like that in the future.

Cult_Of_Skaro Posted May 9, 2017 You're right of course. I just think sizing is more important than texture for minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexastor Posted May 12, 2017 Blue Leader! I've also ordered this hairpiece to see how it'd look like. But I'm already quite happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He just changed helmet+head. But I'm also wondering what head that is, i'll try to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-Nut Posted May 13, 2017 It's from the Lone Ranger sets. It's an officer from the train set (can't remember his name). Definitely a face I'll be trying out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexastor Posted May 13, 2017 Thanks guys! I tried out the other hairpiece and it's really fitting as well, I can post an update picture tomorrow. The head is from Lone Ranger, called Captain J. Fuller (basically Custer :P). I guess the soul patch could be scratched off to make it perfect, don't want to risk damaging the head right now, though.

All of these Han updates look great! When I first saw the hair I didn't really like it, but now whenever I see it I feel a slight bit jealous! XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richpepperell Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Just managed to pick up the Rebels version of old Rex, but not loving the arms or legs. Any suggestions for improvements? My house is currently being decorated so I can't get to my parts box at the moment to play about! I'm thinking maybe the arms from one of the German football team - dual molded flesh and white.

Richpepperell Posted May 17, 2017 This is a character I've wanted to make for a while, and after grabbing a new Star Lord, I finally had what I needed! Introducing Doctor Aphra! Parts as follows: head - Barbara Gordon, arms and legs - comissioner Gordon, torso - Star Lord. I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out to be honest. If anyone is not familiar, Doctor Aphra is a pretty big deal in the Marvel Star Wars comics, first appearing in the Darth Vader series and now in her very own on-going series. Check out this image to see how I did. Any suggestions for improvements welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You beat me to it! Just got my B&P order and updated all of my Hans with the new hair. They look fantastic! I had mixed feelings about the new wig at first, but I can't even look at the bowl head anymore. Now we just need a new carbonite mold... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robianco Posted May 18, 2017 I'd switched out the male generic hair for the tousled Mutt hair a while ago but once I had the chance to switch everything over to the new Han hair I was on it in a flash. It's the Bespin dark blue jacket figure that really benefits the most for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
