I have an oversized MU head that I need shrinking. We don't get Hydroshrink over here so I need a commision job doing. Can anyone help me out? I can pay or trade?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Are there any Hydroshrinkers on here?

I tried it once, and it's damn hard for anything with any detail. Imagine trying to remove a flan or some jello from a mold without tearing it. Then it shrinks for about two weeks. And if you didn't pressurize it, there are zillions of bubbles and holes... needless to say, my experience was less than successful.
I think it would be good for larger, smoother items. Small and detailed... fugeddaboutit.

Hydroshrinking? isn't that what happens to your balls when the water is cold?
in all seriousness, I haven't even heard of this method, looked it up and very interesting.

Thanks Obi. Seems a bit expensive though. I just need a v1 MU Red Hulk head shrank to fit the V2 body, so it doesn't need to be shrunk a lot.
Still, I guess that's always good for a backup plan.

Thanks for the heads up but I will never put any business their way. Plus they are massively over priced with ridiculous shipping charges.
Their heads are not as inexpensive as tofujesse, but they are on par with most other custom sites like Angel Forge, SWG, BA, etc. Obviously, I don't know about their international shipping since I'm domestic.
Yeah, that's true unless you take into account overheads. OPP's stuff is either direct Hasbro rip offs, or just minimally retooled. Shipping is like $10 for a single head.
Most of the other similarly priced casting places are either loaning the molds or have to pay a sculptor.
All that aside, I just don't want to do any business with them personally. I just don't like the way they present themselves online.

While I'm not crazy about their store software, I've not had any issues. I had one successful order, and I'm waiting on my second order.
The $10 shipping might just be a minimum, for one head or twenty, but that's just me speculating.
The stuff I order from them is their original items (like the Strong Guy head!), or recasts of heads from exclusive or elusive figures. Again, not trying to sway you, just mentioning that my experience with them has been positive thusfar.
Angel Forge beats all I've ever seen. I've placed two orders from them, and they both arrived within two business days. BA won't even look at your order until it's been sitting there for four months, and AF gets me a package in two days. Unbelievable!

2 days is pretty hardcore lol. I've had great dealings with Angelforge as well.
Thanks for all the help!
