I'm currently obsessed with the MTV show Teen Wolf, and I'm working on some figures from it. I'm complete and utter shit at finding likenesses for figures though, so maybe people can help point me in the right direction? I'm halfway through a figure of Stiles, played by Dylan O'Brien. And it's done completely on a season 5 Spike, so the head would need to fit that scale.   So that's the most important one, at the moment, since I'm already half done the figure. But I'm gonna post pics of the rest of the ones I want to make, just in case someone can offer up suggestions for those ones as well =) Derek - Tyler Hoechlin   Issac - Daniel Sharman   Lydia - Holland Roden   Allison - Crystal Reed   Erica - Gage Golightly   I know it's a lot, sorry!! But I'd be happy for any and all suggestions!!!! Thank you! <3<3<3 |

Allison - Crystal Reed (Try X-Men Movie Rogue)
Issac - Daniel Sharman (Try MAC Buffy the Vampire Slayer Spike)
Stiles - Dylan O'Brien (Try Fantastic Four Movie Human Torch/ Johonny Storm)
Lydia - Holland Roden (Try Fantastic Four Movie Rise of the Silver Surfer Invisiable Woamn)
Erica - Gage Golightly (Try Mezco Heroes Nikki figure)
Height may be an issure sense were jumping from one series to another as well as brand. However these are head suggestions and there may be complications when fitting them on the body.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Oh I will get to them and Jackson and Peter, Unf yes please, but the ones I listed are the ones that I THINK I already have all the body parts I need to make them.
And thank you, elee0031! Some of those are perfect! Now to just try to get my hands on them! The Human Torch one looks perfect, but after half an hour on the internet, I still can't find one! Off to keep looking!

He's one of the uncommon one, due to the popularity of the Avengers movie a lot of customizers are going after him to make an unmasked Captain America for the likeness to the actor Chris Evans. If you can't find him or at an affordable cost I would try Dr. Doom Human Face version also from the movie. He has a different skin tone - tanner than Johnny Storm if I remember correctly.

I didn't even bust out the Marvel Legends selection. But I do this from time to time when I start making a custom to look for the best base figure.
If your looking for heads I was also gonna suggest also from the Batman Movie a Bruce Wayne figure or Charmed SOTA Leo figure - but these figures have certain facial traits that may not blend well, however if cost and availability are an issue these are not as costly and easy to get a hold of. From Marvel Legends you can also use Long Shot instead of the Fantastic Four I recommended. He's cheaper and easier to find, but you'll have to scalp and resculpt the head. The face is great for what your trying to do as well. Give him a look over too.

Yes! Literally when she came on screen, I smacked my friend in the arm and just yelled 'Action figures!' ...that's where this whole idea was born, actually, lol. But she's a little low on my priority list, in terms of favorites. Gotta get me some Stiles and Peter up in there first! <3

Hahaha.... Same with me lol. I need to find a cheap Kendra figure now. Issac, Danny, Stiles, Jackson and Erica are my top 5 so I can't wait to see them.

The estimated time when you have all the parts in is at least 3 days. And on top of that you're trying to do 5 figures. It does take time for sculpt to sit and dry as well as paint, not to mention the sanding and retouch ups.
So happy customizing!

oh yeah, and I have school starting Monday which means I will in no way be getting them all done any time soon I'm done with Stiles, other than needing his head. though if I can't get my hands on a good one for him, someone did this really famous fanart of him in a wolf mask, so I might just say 'screw the head' and put him in the mask, lol.
The others? Not so much. but I have an Erica nearly done as well. I should probably stop starting them until I know the size of the heads that will work on them, but I'm on a high with them!

Lou you live in NY is there like a local KBz or TRU near where you live? You can do a run through down the isle and see if you can get lucky that way. You never know.
Alot of the figures I mentioned for heads vary in size and scale and that might make your job a lot harder and they are also not recent - meaning that you'd have to order them on line to see if they are even the right size you need.
What base figure size are you using?
DC scale, Marvel Legends, Buffy tvs MAC scale, etc.
