Hope you like it.
Later I will clean all the paint aps off of it and then when the mold making materials finnaly come it's off to get reproduced!

TFM UPDATE!!!
Well, I hated the first head so I went back to the drawing board and made this.
I think it's damn near perfect now but you decide.
This head is actually already a reproduction of the original. (Yea, Mold making stuff came.Yea!!!) Would you guys be interested in purchasing this for $5 american and an extra $2 for shipping if I was to mass produce these for you guys?
I'm making a pole so feel free to cast your vote.

It looks a little comical to have his head done at that size but kept the same
I like it and I think if it had the other weapons to go with it, it would look even better.

Wasn't expecting that when I opened this topic. Looks... accurate. Kinda blocky on an Alternator body though. What do you use to make these heads, they're really cool.

ha! sweet! that's what I wanted to do when I finally wind up getting a Swindle. That why when i dye another one black for Trailbreaker, they'll at least look different.
I'll definitely get one of those heads for my Swindle if you reproduce those, TFM.

I'm considering it but I want to try and make a smaller version of that head first. To me it's too enlongated and huge thus why some parts seems overly done.

Sorry, way too ugly for my taste. Now if you could mod Swindle's original head so that he has the same crest, I would reconsider my opinion.

The second head is awesome, but it would be better if you gave him a smirk instead of the full bared teeth, give him a bit of that wise-ass scheming personality he has.
I'd definatly buy one to replace Swindles head.

I personally love the default head on Swindle, but your second head looks awesome too.

Sorry Tfman, I just don't like either head. Although I don't like the head he originally came with either. They do look comical, all 3. I would like to get my hands on a cannon for him though..hint,hint.

love the sculpt, yeah looks better than your other attempt, but personally i dont think it fits the alt body...
Anyway, while im not interested on that head, i think the priceis not bad

It's does seem a bit small but the face and eyes were lifted right off of the original face/head and designed to be proportionate to the face design of the G1 look.
Besides, it kinda also gives that G1 toy feel as well. The original G1 Swindle had a really small head didn't he?
I just think it makes him look wider.
Head's are now ready for reproduction and before I make a place to put them for sale i'll offer a couple here, if anyone really is interested, at 5 US each. 2 Ship.
If you are outside the US and want one it should be around 7 ship.
PM me for purchases or questions.

top head looks good 100% cartoon accurate but i'm a little confused. which head are you selling? the one at the top or the one at a bottom? While we're on the subject of reproing head do you still have the mold to the Elita 1 head? i really needa copy of that for a kitbash i'm planning. thanks.
