Custom Head Character Selection Process

Let me start with my submission: The Doctor
For me I think this is the one chracter that I want to see made and has the least amount of chance of actually being made (I know...who has any chance anymore). I also think that he has enough variations where one could really get some cool additions with little modding. For example we could get an STTE Doctor and a Lewis Zimmerman using the FC uniforms. I am also interested in doing a VOY EMH and ECH modding the uniform style as outlined by numerous members here. Finally I am also interested in doing a Woosley Stargate figure. So basically Im in for 5 casts.

I would love a Quark but Im not sure how to do the body for the uniform. Do you have a plan already because Id love to hear it!!

I see all the interest in the Doctor, but I think that would probably be one of the easiest ones to mod. A long ways back, I just took a Nem Picard head and painted the hair black for that. Granted, it wasn't an exact likeness but I thought it worked fine.

1. Abandon the project alltogether.
2. Go with S8film40's suggestion and buy one and cast the rest. Obviously this would also require someone to paint the figures if one couldn't do it on their own.
Ive never really tried my hand at casting. Is this a difficult process or fairly simple when the correct scale is already in place? Please post suggestions on how we should move forward.
PS Does anyone have a good "how-to" site on casting heads with a method they have tried and succeeded with?

10 different head sculpts $2300
I buy one of each 10 heads $250
If we only get 10 members to commit it would cost me $480 to get 10 heads. That would be $48 per head. Thats if the heads are $25 and not $35 a piece.
Shipping has to be factored as well. FYI, i bought a small Furuta Spock bust form a guy in Hong Kong, I paid $5.00 including shipping and got it in 4 or 5 days, so shipping isnt that expensive apparently.

$30 per head IF we get 10 people to sign up. Thats shipped and everything. This would NOT be painted. If we get more people to sign up OR have a single individuals buy more than one head that price would be lowered incrementally (EX: 20 people/heads = $15).
All the other details can be worked out later. Depending on the time I might be able to even do finalized figures depending on how smoothly everything goes for people that just want a final product.
Im going to leave the character selection up for a bit longer just to see and give everyone a chance.
