    Did my best to adapt an inferno face adapted for fanstoys Tesla and sold on eBay by spurtreynolds but I couldn’t really get it to sit perfect and ended up cracking the left brow.

    Bit of blu tack and it’ll do, I still prefer it to the original.

    Have had my "Big Spring" down from the shelf the past few days and I'm still quite happy with him. The only thing that would make it perfect is a new face. I wish someone would design and put one up on Shapeways or otherwise offer a replacement face.

    I've trimmed mine just a bit on the back so it sets further back and sculpted his cheeks a bit but don't want to go further without a backup! Else he could end up the faceless Springer who was in a terrible scarring accident.

    I'll take you up on that STL file. I'd like to get this guy, but I'm not 100% on the Grapple/Inferno options.

    Nice! I'd been looking for a head for him on Shapeways the other day since I don't have a printer. I know this is a long shot, but would it be possible for you, or someone else with your permission, to throw it up on there?

    Or could you sell a few?

    You can upload an STL file to SW and have it printed. The STL is the source file, hence the offer of providing it

    Although you can likely find a local shop to do it much cheaper.

    Happy to send you guys the stl files. I just need your email addys. Start a convo with me and let me know.

    I’m not printing and selling these right now cause my postal service, Canada Post is on strike and they’re slowing shipping everything right now.

    I'll message you as I'd like the file. I tried last night with an Inferno face and it looks too small.

    In your view, what's the best material to print with to get the best finish? Is it possible to lightly sand these down to get a smoother finish? Thanks for sharing!

    Oh right. About throwing it up on Shapeways. Long story short no US address, too much red tape to make a store.

    I use PLA plastic because I don't have access to a vent hold and print at 100% infill. It's small. You can sand an you can paint this plastic if you like.

    I’ve included them in the files I just sent. Hope they print out well on your machine.

    Can anyone kindly tell me how the chest assembly/hinge is attached? Is it a hinge bar that would need tapping out? Or is it screws?
    Thank you in advance.

    For the price and the look, I know it's not perfect, but it's dang good. Great, even. I'm not sure why everyone is so hard on this figure or the company behind it.

    From what I've read most people like it. Sure, the face is a disgrace, but apart from that I've only heard small complains about the chest tab. Most of the comments actually praise the toy.
