Hi all,

So, I've been trying to get a "Villa" HS for ages now. Sadly due to popularity, evilbay prices are insane. ($90 upwards for just the head) I'm not willing to pay half the value of the figure itself for just a HS. So I was wondering if any of the knowledgeable folks on here happened to know who manufactures/owns the Verycool brand?

I've had luck in the past sourcing older HS, hands, etc. from companies like Phicen, so thought if anyone knows who makes Verycool, I'd give them a direct shot. I've always had to pay higher postage buying direct, but I'd rather give the money to the maker, than some evilbay scalper.

Failing that, I will have to take my chances when the second run of Villa's is released soon. Any advice?

Taobao is your next bet. Use browser translator.

Thanks martian. I'll give it a look.

Sadly no luck with Taobao. They only seem to have listings for the full figure at regular prices.

Their key words used for sellers' products, especially hs, in Taobao are not always named as we expect them to be. I have gone into sellers' shop pages to browse through their Head Sculpt sections, and I have come across the Villa hs quite recently. It is a painstaking search process, but that's how it is there at Taobao!
