Hey Scarlet Spidey, is it easy to take the neck post out to swap? or do you have to take the whole body apart to do it? And will the Medicom BobaFett look okay with the giraffe neck?

nice shot jun you know it won't be long before old lucas sees this through his spies and commissions a comic of it.
kaido, i'd recommend venny too. his work is phenomenal, he's very affordable (compared to some of the other guys on the boards) and he has an awesome and ever-growing talent. does very good, natural skintone.
i've sent heads to many artists in the past so here's my quick round up:
les walker - top quality, but long backlog right now. have a ripley from him. nicholson and ledger jokers, hicks and reese on their way.
darkartist josh - still waiting on heads (2 supes, anakin) from 17 months ago, so i can't vouch for quality. but from the pics i've seen he's exceptional. but he may be leaving the repainting business behind.
kuato - amazing. i have the joker heads he did and they are superb. but he may have a slight backlog now too. but he is willing to take on work as far as i know. he's doing predator billy, snake plissken and a bunch of chris howes head for me when they're ready.
darren carnall - my favourite. pricey but worth it. but he may also be in backlog right now. waiting on terminator, aragorn and legolas figures, bale and batty heads.
small studios josh - really great work, quick and cheap too. i sent him my BR head to do after manji recommended him. it's a knockout.
to be honest, i'd go with venny out of all these guys right now. if you want a decent turnaround and a massive quality to price ratio, he's your man. and he loves what he does 
Thks for your thoughts on the different customizers, I'm thinking of getting Kuato but he seems real busy. Small Studios Josh stuffs are pretty good too, gonna think clearly bout it first.

Agreed! I actually used a little hair dryer heat to bend the nose a little more. Hehe, I think it helps to enhance the Harrison Ford look even more.

You will have to unscrew the back part of the body ( about 3 screws) after that it should be pretty easy to remove the neck. Not sure bout lettin Boba Fett have the neck though, shall leave it to Scarlet's expert opinions.

Very nice Indy JuN and I think Iron Indy will have a lot less trouble getting and holding on to those those Artifacts. I can't wait for the Medicom Young Indiana Jones with the River Pheonix headsculpt

Re: Medicom Indiana Jones & Daddy Jones
Hi Eighthsamurai,
Regarding your references for the repaints,
When the repaints are done are the sealants as good as what comes with the figure or do you have to be constantly mindfull of touching the face so that it doesn't rub off ?

Re: Medicom Indiana Jones & Daddy Jones
hey buddy - so far i only have 3 repaints back, 1 of which is a hot toys head. the sealant on that is superb - really no worries. best thing to do though would be to check with the artist beforehand what kind of sealant they use etc. most of these guys are quite amenable to ideas etc. so you might even be able to suggest a sronger sealant.

Re: Medicom Indiana Jones & Daddy Jones
Lovely work, fantastic paint apps but the head is just way too small.
