It IS workable IF One doesn't mind an inaccurate Jill St. John face.
Let's not go throwing words like "accurate" and "inaccurate" around when we're talking about Figures Toy Company

I have to laugh. Yes, everybody is right. I do appreciate the humor and the inaccuracy of the head sculpts.
But then again, Sue Richards isn’t accurate either.

Here’s some progress. The ‘60s hair styles make women’s heads appear larger than they are.
First paint
Next steps are highlights and facial detail.

So close to your finish line! Looking forward to seeing the finished figure.

I got the final pictures. From a Seinfeld quote “They’re real and they are spectacular”.
Once I receive them I’ll place it on the body and post an array of pictures.

The heads shipped! Should be here Saturday, but I’ll be tied up with a special Birthday party for Leo. He turns the big 1.
So to hold you over, here are the finished painted heads

He has one more painted. I asked for a 1/6 head as I have a spare Robin, and it will go with my 1/6 Batmobile. What a way to GO GO

The hole at the base is a hair large so I have to fill it, but here's the near final product:
