Quote:Congratulations, Mike!! Absolutely stunning photos of the Dick Smith head and F13 Part 6 dummy...You really MUST have some incredible connections to get even close to any of that stuff. Did Dick cast AND paint the Reagan blank? If not, who did do the finishing work? It looks phenominal.
The rest of those "purchases" look splendid as well. You certainly have lucked across some nice pieces in the past few decades. I\'d imagine that, back then, screen-used and movie-made items were a lot easier to get good deals on, before the hobby exploded into the megaton force that it is today. Now it\'s nearly impossible to purchase props like those unless you have really, really deep pockets...
Also, great work on Justin\'s part for the restoration. The Part 6 looks as if it were brand new (though it never quite looked old to begin with, in my opinion...hehe). Do you have any photos of the piece before restoration you\'d be willing to share with us?
And Aaron....That picture rocks! those two Aliens look nearly identical! Not to mention that they\'re in pristine condition! I waaaaaant oooone!![]()
Cheers,
Ryan

I think I have some photos of him before Justin got him...Justin def should have the before photos on him...
Both those Regans are from the mold & usint the life cast, the test head is the one I brought for tour to Chicago painted by Dick. The other is full latex head painted by David L...
I will have Bobby C one of the best in the business do up a full Silicon Head just as you see with custom hand made glass eyes, to be put on a latex full figure...
Now that will be something to look forward too.
Except for the one in NY (One on Film) & the Back up Dummy at Dicks house, my Exorcist search is now complete...Not that I wont attempt to get one of those two lol. I was going to stop over at Dick\'s house when I was in Florida, but I only had a few hours till my flight left so Don & I will do it next time I return down there...
PoD
My next adventure is to complete those HS and Calendars...
