Just like the head above, they put cellophane around the hair to keep it in place.

^This is intended to be Susan Silo as Mousey.

Ian, how did You do the spray painting of the hair, please? Thanks.

Small can of fluoro orange hair spray from the $2 shop. Covered the face with that flexible yellow painter's masking tape first.

Did a similar trick, with perhaps less-effective results, on Pinky Pinkerton. Same brand of spray. The orange seemed less dense.

Sounds good Lou. It's given me a real good idea of what I need to do. Mine will go a little cheaper as I'm having to make the cowl and cape.

Thanks! I think that I speak for most of us here when I say that we look forward to seeing how You turn things out.

Cheers!

So there is some variance depending on your budget. If you want the spreadsheet, PM me with your email and I’m happy to share it.

[Larry A.]

P.M. sent. I don't need the box. I'll be going with the Yvonne body and head as they are much more realistic as compared to the standard body and head. Thanks, my Friend. Cheers!

[Lou Szabo]

Larry,
I sent you the spreadsheet!

[Lou Szabo]

Postman just delivered a package from The Toyroom

the villain lineup is on the right, the hero lineup is on the left!

[Larry A.]

VERY Nice... Very Nice indeed! Thanks for the P.M. That is a nicer box than the Megos!!!!!!!!!

[Larry A.]

Might I have the "Toyroom " Link please? I've decided that I'm going to need boxes for both my 1939 Bat-Man and Bat-Girl. Thanks and as always, Lou,...Cheers!

[Lou Szabo]

For Boxes, here is the website

https://www.the-toyroom.com/
If you can’t find it, Anthony Durso has probably made it for someone, like this Molly box, and just email him.

Email: thetoyroom@yahoo.com

The final (for now) product in a box

[Larry A.]

Lou Szabo, did You mock up the box first? I got my Yvonne heads and figure and open hands, and boots. I'm waiting for Dr. Mego to send me the bodysuits. The next thing will be to order the fists and gloves. Other than that, It will be cutting and styling the hair followed by making the outfit and mask,

[Lou Szabo]

The box is from the Toy Room. The card will be mocked up as soon as my son-in-law prints picture quality pictures. Should be any time now....

[Larry A.]

Which one will You use? The card or the box, Lou?

[Larry A.]

I gotta admit, Lou. I LOVE the pictures of Jill St. John. I've had a crush on Her for years.
