Yep, I saw those Mad Robot heads, they look good but I fear they may also be on the large side as they specifically say heroic scale....
Do you have any experience with them Dwartist?

I have the Mad Robot Beret heads, I wanted to use them on GW Space Marines. I can upload a comparison pic tomorrow, if that'd be helpful...

Thx, nice pix but...
1. They are huge, forget using them as humans with other lines, but they'd make quite good killer robots/aliens or gene modded super soldiers
...they don't seem that much bigger than Dark Age or Sedition Wars in those. Given the more crouched posture of the other lines ???

2. Clean up is a pain in the arse
That's bit unpleasant to hear but then again, I've survived Warzone and Starship Troopers plastics...

The material is a little rubbery so scraping with a knife won't do the job. I have found that slicing the lines off works but it is awkward to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Well yes, it's admittedly a different case than that of Wz or ST plastics where the plastic is quite hard instead.

Okay, sorry that it took a while longer to get the picture:

I agree the clean up of the mold line is an exercise in patience and the ability to let it go and not expect perfection is going to be hard for me. If while painting them, I am able to let go, in the trash they go.

Great models but the material sucks.
