Head Shots Vol. 1
Head Shots Vol. 1 is a set of the toy heads made by Play With This Too. They are designed in several color sets, and when placed on toy bodies form different fictional characters.
Play With This Too
Head Shots Vol. 1 includes three heads designed by Steve Redinger. They are shaped like a female pilot, a demon and a minotaur.
In their exclusive colors the heads are the characters Madwing, Skull-FCKR and Terribull. In the retail colors they are the characters Kurrupt, Leigh Muria and Wronghorn.
According to the Play With This Too Facebook page the exclusive color of Skull-FCKR would look nice with Bitemark. Terribull matches well with Calaminous Haagenti.
