Amazing Custom Head Sculpts – Part 2
As much as we love Hasbro’s sculpts, there are times when a talented customizer comes along and creates a mold that blows us away… fans will recall that back in February, we spotlighted some amazing custom head sculpts by customizer Evergray.
Now, he’s done it once again with some more amazing sculpts that we only wish we could get our hands on! See the Stormtrooper comparison above – how cool would it be nice for them to adopt something more like the above helmet on the right as a standard moving forward?
Check out more of Evergray’s work, and share your thoughts after the jump!
