Custom Head Character Selection Process

From a customizer's standpoint, I'd rather have the Doctor for the reasons already mentioned. We'll have the best chance of actually getting the most heads purchased which will (hopefully) lower the price a little. This is all speaking strictly from a "custom head" standpoint. When I look at my collection, though, it seems kinda silly to me to have one lone Voyager figure that isn't even the Captain. (Yes, I know there's Timeless Geordi, but still...)
Of course, if I were DST looking for sales, I'd probably try for a 7 of 9/Janeway 2-pack, but that's not really pertinent to the discussion...
So, in the end :: deep breath :: I vote Doctor

Ive actually been watching a lot of youtube how-to's and i am going to try my hand at it. If I am successful obviously it would alleviate a lot of problems. However, I wont be able to start for at least 2 weeks, but we've waited this long so wahts another few weeks?

You probably know that I am more into TOS then any other series. I think they have a good shot at multiples in my eyes for the crossover episode. Janeway might be the best first choice, to provide all of the Captains in the scale. But I would start with Tuvok, because I would not have to sculpt hair.
The best choice would have to be someone that is going to require the least amount of modifying, to give the non customizers something premade. Also important is one that can be modified, for those who like to do that, and might want duplicates. Next we dont want to alienate everyone by making half crews, like a certian company might do. And last, it has to be someone that everyone would buy, thus ensuring that the price will be affordable to everyone.

He has lots of 6" head and accessory castings that he sells... and as a customizer he may be willing to take on a project to shrink and make some castings... if for no other reason then he seems to have a good following of customizers that go to him for heads.
If we could get some one like this to maybe commit to try at least one character, if it was a success, he might sign up to do more.
I should add, I voted for Janeway, I'd like to finish off the 5 captains and a Janeway base body can be kitbashed from some DS9 characters.

Those are much more attractive prices, I think we would have a lot more interest in this if we can get the heads to around $5 each.

Maybe he'd try one to see what the response was, and if it was good enough, he'd do more. Heck he says right on his page that he'll take suggestions, and if you loan him stuff he wants to cast he'll hook you up.
This is a bit of a special case as it's not just a straight casting, we need him to shrink down the heads to the 8" scale.

Personally I'd like to see how a shrink and cast of a playmates figure would look before shelling out more money.

Torres definately. She was the main one missing that I wanted.
