Anyone know what the tiny black dots are for? They are packed in a clear bag under the extra wrist joints included in the box. Nothing in the instructions…
Put the crown on him and fix the likeness in one fell swoop. I think the 1:4 crowns can be had fairly cheaply, or could be scratch built easily as there are plenty of photos online. My theory has always been that the hairline was that way to start with because they intended to have him in the...
