Building a Complete Head?
If you're combining a head base with an electronics kit to build a complete protogen head, a Studio build is worth considering first. Studio heads ship fully assembled and tested, and come with a 90-day warranty — often at a similar or lower total cost than sourcing and assembling the parts yourself.
The workshop is here for experienced builders, replacement parts, and custom projects. If you're new to protogen builds or want a ready-to-wear result, start with Studio →
🛡️ 90-Day Warranty Included
Covered for 90 days against manufacturing defects under normal use — see the warranty policy for details. Extend to 9 or 15 months total with the Product Protection Plan.
Made to order in Portland, Oregon. Up to 3 weeks build time + shipping.
