Looking for hair & head match

[Dropshipbob]

I'm in the process of gewtting parts to make a Ripley figure from Aliens. I think I have a head that will work, Resolute Baroness (whi;le the factory eyes are a little narrow, I think it will work if I paint them more "wide eyed". Does anyone know if one of the casters out there has made a copy of the Reso Baroness head?
The hair might be a problem. I'm not sure I can sculpt something so curly, so I'm hoping there is a factory or hand-made item that will work. Here's a few pictures to help get your brain gears crankin'.

One last note, the hair doesn't have to come from a female figure, if it comes from a male, I can still transplant it.

Maybe Star Wars McQuarrie Leah? I would definately check all leah's out.

Man, there really aren't any good-looking Ellen Ripley likenesses out there. I just did a quick search, expecting to find something in some scale that looked like her, and they all suck.

Wasn't there a Sigourney Weaver figure in the Avatar line?

Only good pic of the head i could find without the helmet is this custom

The McQuarrie Starkiller Hero (^^^^) may indeed work.

I take it the Hot Toys snap kit head or a cast of the same is definitely out of the question?

The reason none of the Ripleys look like Sigourney because she doesn't give her likeness rights out.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

That's silly, when most toy-makers can't nail an actor's likeness in the first place.

That one actually looks like her...

 

[K-Tiger]

I seem to recall she had a thing about toys of her likeness and guns, so that may be why none of the Ripleys are right.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Ah. May make more sense. Still, I think it's sort of stupid when actors pull "if/thens" like that, but after all, it is her likeness. She can do as she pleases.

 

[Dropshipbob]

Yeah, the snap kit of Ripley doesn't have a good likeness at all. I did look at the avatar figure but to me it doesn't look all that much like her, plus it would be too small on any female Joe bodies.

I once asked a caster if he could take a 1:6th head that I have that has a great likeness and shrink it down to the proper scale. He could...for $70. That's a lot more than I want to pay for a 1:18th head.

I have the Hot Toys snap-hit one. I have no idea if those have her likeness rights or what, but it.. well Bob said it

Not sure if the hair is removeable - but it may work... was part of a SW comic 2-pk. - ???

I used this head on my RE : Extinction Alice custom

THta one has been available through casters. Hair is not removable.

What about the LJ hair?

Not the right "do". That SW chick might work with a bit of modding. Who is currently selling resin copies?

 

[BL4CK5H33P]

Not sure if they are resin... but check w/ TofuJesse...?

I got 2 of her. I had used one head as a trial for a Zarana disguise. Didnt like it, so its been in my bin since. Yours if you want, I just painted the hair a little more Orange. Send me an address PM and I'll get it out to ya.
