As far as custom Cyborg heads go, from what I have seen,

CUSTOM HEAD CREATION is something that never really took off for usa cyborg collectors.

You would think clear resin would be easy enough, but
Cyborg collectors tend to be less into surgery than I am.

In Japan, in 1998, there was a craze for awhile where collectors kitbashed the hell out of the NHC cyborg.
You would often see in the background of collections, strange heads just stuck on cyborg bodies.

In Japan, people were making silicone heads for their cyborgs. Wings as well, but I am not sure how all that held up over time.
All that all evolved into what we now know as the modern cyborg costumes. Short run, actual vinyl heads and the like.

Of course none of this is documented in english, or in a coherent manner, so you are stuck with what you can read on the forum.

I did a post concerning some of these limited vinyl heads, as well as the Japanese customs made of silicone. Brilliant stuff, but chances are your wife would probably be on to your experiments somewhere during the 2 months it took for the heads to dry!
