Hi all,

In case anybody is looking for good Pre-Rinzler Tron references when making or choosing a replacement Rinzler head, I suggest visiting Character Modeler Dan Platt's website at:
http://www.danplatt.com/

He has a few great pictures showing the CGI Bruce Boxleitner model he created for the Flashback scene in T:L

I recently bought a Marvel Universe Steve Rogers Captain America action figure at Toys R Us which I thought could donate his head to my 3" Core Rinzler. The head-sculpt is nice but is a bit too square in the jaw and the hair isn't quite right, but no worse than that of some of the other preferred heads I've seen used. I painted the hair brown and easily trimmed down the jawline just under the ears with an Exact-O blade to give him a slightly less boxy looking face and have him more closely resemble the slim, more oval shaped Boxleitner likeness.

What really drew me to the head-sculpt was the determined, clenched jaw expression on the figure. It instantly reminded me of Tron standing next to Flynn as Clu approaches them in the flashback. The head is a good size and with a little force you can plug it securely into the ball joint on Rinzler's neck, but it results in a somewhat beefy football player type of look, so I'm going to set the head just a tad higher by sculpting a new socket in the head either with Apoxie-Sculpt or the hot glue method. For reference, here is what the Steve Rogers figure looks like:

I'm also looking to modify my 7-ish inch Sam Flynn with a helmet less head. I took him apart last week and got to the bottom of the light-up face projection gimmick. It can be removed from the figure pretty easily, but since it is wired to the same board featuring the chest light and speaker you may lose the light up/talking feature. I'll have to look at it more closely to see if the face projection unit can be removed without sacrificing that.

There is a WWE wrestling toy called The Miz from the "Flex-Force" line or something to that effect that I think would make an excellent head donor for Sam. Specifically, there's one in stores now with lightning hook action or something like that (he has purple shorts and boots):

The figure is kind of pricey at $15-17 so I've held off buying it for now since that seems like a lot to pay for a head. Gonna keep an eye out for him at garage sales, Goodwill stores, and the flea market. After having disassembled Sam, I know I'll need to cut off the black plastic that forms the neck and find a ball joint or some other mount to insert into the neck cavity. The head seems to be a good size and with some careful cutting, you could conceivably cut the face shield portion off Sam's helmet and place it over The Miz's head.

Finally, If you don't want to risk ruining your Impulse Projection figures on overly ambitious customs, keep an eye out at Ross stores. I recently picked up two Sams, a Clu, and a Rinzler for $4.99 each.

Back again with another possible idea for a T:L custom.

Now, as you guys know, there's a lot of possibilities for T:L customs, and not just customs of programs in the system. I was at Wal--Mart earlier, looking around the toy section after picking up a couple of pairs of new pants (I damaged to pairs recently). Anyways, in the toy isle, I found a figure for a Star Wars character named Colonel Cracken, a character apparently from a deleted scene from The Return of the Jedi. And when I was looking at the figure in the package, I thought to myself, "This guy looks like Alan Bradley circa 2010." So, I took a couple of pictures of the figure in case it turns out to be the case, but I want to see what you guys think. Here's a site that has pictures of the figure, including some good head shots: http://www.rebelscum.com/TVC_Cracken_Deleted.asp

Of course, what would need to happen is, at least, painting the hair, at most dremmeling, sculpting and then painting. Of course, you'd have to put the head on another body so you'd have a suit for him. Also, you'd have to scratchbuild some glasses for him. But I think that's close enough to an older version of Alan. What do you guys think?

I know a lot of you are expecting me to get my customs done, since I've been talking about them. But, I currently have a house I need to work on before I can move into it and I've got summer classes to take (which are Monday through Thursday, which may leave me enough room to do school work or house work on the weekends). But, I'll get to them whenever I get everything situated.

Try GI Joe and Marvel Universe first.

Well the Star Wars head used for Quorra that I got from Boba seemed in good scale, but yeah the ball joint is the wrong size so it will fall off a Tron figure. A bit of putty should fix that!

A bit of putty should fix that! Strange. The head I got for Juno Eclipse was the same scale as the head of the figure that Boba made the cast of for you, but the figure's head seems smaller (but accept) to do my T:L Yori figure. But you're right, a little putty can fix the ball-socket on the figure's body if you're putting a SW head on it. But, if you're doing the reverse (putting a T:L figure head on SW figure body) you may want to dremmel out the head. As for a G.I. Joe head, or another head from another line, the OP would have to check and see if the parts are compatible.

It wasn't a cast, it was a real head. And I think some Star Wars figures are different scales than others.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

Anyone have any extra Corran Horn, Bruce Banner or Wedge Antilles heads (or any of the other good heads for Tron) that they are willing to sell?

Unfortunately, I don't have any spares I can sell. But you may want to look into the B-Wing Pilot (aka Keyan Farlander) figure from the Star Wars: The VIntage Collection line. You can find a lot of them available on eBay, and they may still be available at stores like Wal-Mart.

That one looks great!! And there are a lot on ebay for not too much! Thanks for the idea!

Those might need some hair or face sculpt, but they are not bad!abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

Would you use Wedge or B-Wing pilot?where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

I did not really wan't to do the hair, which is better for that?

Also where would you get a figure for a suit?

And is there a difference in the hair between Tron and 82/85 Alan?
