    That Icarus head sculpt’s skin tone is noticeably different. I am one of the few who doesn’t mind that head sculpt, we don’t all get to be attractive. Ugly dudes need love too.

    • @TopFunRetroToys3d
      @TopFunRetroToys3d  4 місяці тому +1

      You're not wrong. The skin tone is off... It would certainly be easier to match the neck and arms VS try and re-paint the head.

    The Classifed Falcon head sculp reminds me of Billy Bob Thorton's character Karl in the movie Slingblade. Great vid on the different head sculps to use. Thx dude.

    Any of you that have been in the game for a bit, Falcons headsculpt reminds me of the original 1/6 scale Ultimate Soldier basic figure😄😄

    Not sure why this popped up in my feed, but I'm glad I saw it. Definitely going to order the barbells and hunt down a Winter Soldier figure. That goofy head sculpt has always bugged me.

    I think the original Falcon head reminds me of the "Thunderbirds" puppet character heads....

    They definately need Butt packs/Kidney pouches for the rear of the webbing. I really think the Winter Soldier headsculpt is one of the best.

      right on! I am working on replacement web gear as well. It will be modular so you can add whatever you like. I've got the old-school mag pouches done. Alice Packs are almost done! As well as a radio that can be carried in a pack! If you sign up for email notifications at www.topfunretrotoys3d.com you will get notifications when a new product drops.

    I’ve been saying the head sculpt looks like “Crispin Glover’s love child” but seriously, I bought only one of this one so far and definitely want to change that head sculpt! I have an extra “old man version Outback” so I could go that route.

    • @TopFunRetroToys3d

      you will need to get the 7.4 mm barbell or alter the existing one to get the Outback head to fit. I'm generally not inclined / brave enough to permanently alter my figures (other than minor cosmetics or painting) which is why I created the replacement barbell.

    Marvel legends Jigsaw head is on one my 12 Falons. Both Kamakura heads, Clutch, Breaker, Buzzer, oh So many options to fix Falcon.

    How would these work in reverse- Joe Head on Marvel?

    • @TopFunRetroToys3d
      @TopFunRetroToys3d  4 місяці тому

      Some (if not most or all) of the Marvel Legends heads connect via a piece that does not remove easily from the body without serious modifications, there is no "barbell connector piece" to remove. In the scenario you described either the donor head or body is either going to have to loose or gain material.

    Awesome video very informative. First watching your channel, new subscriber added. Is it possible to do a neck pig fix for the Baroness without dremeling out the head?
    Crimson head for retro body.
    Thank you.

    • @TopFunRetroToys3d
      @TopFunRetroToys3d  4 місяці тому

      Thanks! I don't have the Crimson Baroness so I couldn't;t give you an accurate answer. If you measure the diameter of ball that inserts into the head I could see if the retro head would fit or if it would need a replacement connector.

      Yeah me and Danny throw down all the time. Back in grade school we used go to each other's classes and confuse the teachers. Later on in life we'd pull the same stunt with each other's girlfriends...that caused a quite an uproar and a series of paternity tests I'd really rather not talk about.

      Dude, that's a great idea! I'm very much into the Vietnam era and it would be very cool to do a tiger stripe top, blue jean bottom, especially since Shipwreck was $15 at Walmart and I got a few. Thanks for the idea!

  • @chernobylchacha
    @chernobylchacha 3 місяці тому

    I don't know if I would call this a "fix" though. Personally I find nothing wrong with the Hasbro head sculpt. He looks like Falcon from the Movie to me. Now he looks like... Sebastian Stan. I don't know. It's not good for sure.

    • @TopFunRetroToys3d
      @TopFunRetroToys3d  Місяць тому

      Well I'm glad somebody liked the head that came with the figure...I've got a baggie with about eight of them I'm trying to off-load. If you're a buyer and in the market for Falcon heads lemme know!
