@nomeus... A reproduction Hedleba may be possible, but I don't think it was a huge seller, so finding an original will likely be difficult to say the least.

Re: The Randotti company's final years. There are two versions of the events that occurred in the end days. One version told by Bunnie, and one version told by Jeff. I am somewhat friends with them both and wasn't present so I generally don't take a side. I do know that the company's biggest hurdle was that Disney cancelled their contract and started producing their own items in China for the sake of maximizing their profit. Since they were the main buyer of Randotti's products it was a crushing blow.

Also, I AM that seller on Ebay and I actually don't own the molds, the items are cast for me by the current owner. I do all the finish work that transforms a rough plaster shape (the molds are old and don't do that well) into glow skulls and Tikis.

@Teadoir... To my knowledge Randotti did not produce shrunken heads. They also are not in the catalog. I can check with Jeff, but I'm pretty sure those were produced by someone else. Unless of course you are talking about the small hanging glow skulls known as "Ivans".
(bit of side info, Bunnie who sells Randotti on Ebay was actually the person who made the long white and black hair wigs that attached to the heads of the original "Ivan" glow skulls.)
