    Has anybody ever seen this vinyl kit in person?

    (Ebay store link - NOT an auction)
    http://cgi.ebay.com/Movie-Robocop-Head-1-1...oQQcmdZViewItem

    I'd like to possible cut out the face and turn it into a wearable helmet and am wondering if the sculpt is halfway decent or if anybody else has tried to do this.

    I used to own a kit just like this, possibly from the same seller. I bought it YEEEEAAAAAAARSS ago at ebay. The vinyl quality was bad, and didn't lend a solid surface to add much body work. I guess it could be wearable, but never cared about trying it own. I kept the mouth part and sold the helmet parts.
    I wouldn't recomende it, specially after seing how bad it look in the pics.

    This Thai recasts are oh so bad!

    The original kit was wearable size, but Thai kits are recasts of recasts of recasts with shrunken molds.

    I bet it's about 10% smaller than it should be, don't waste your money, it will be a disappointment.

    If your looking for wearable hi-end helmets, I know just the person for you.
