    Submission: Super Foe's Line Extension (teaser)

    Author: Austin Hough (megowgsh)

    Line: World's Greatest Super Foes

    Toy Execution (Vintage, Custom or Digital Art): Custom

    Packaging Execution (Custom or Digital Art): Custom

    Toy Customizers/Collaborators: Customizers: Austin "reproheads.com" Hough

    Packaging Customizers/Collaborators: Anthony "the toyroom" Durso

    Author Notes: Only showing the cards for now. Made sure we used the 1978 Marvel card featured on page 237 of the Holcomb book. Assigned them item codes in sequence with them also. Redesigned the back and eliminated all the heroes and included all the new characters plus GG and Lizard. Figures to come soon(er or later).




    Here are the first four. The remaining two will be posted by May 20th.

    I am trying to make these as close to what I think Mego would have done up to, and including, the coding on the cards. I hope you like.

    Abomination: complete with green Mego Thing forearms on 1978 2nd issue/2nd version Marvel card



    Doctor Doom: complete with gray/silver Mego Iron Man gloves and boots on 1978 2nd issue/2nd version Marvel card



    Loki: complete with pony tail on 1978 2nd issue/2nd version Marvel card



    Red Skull: complete with Mego CHiPs glove hands on 2nd issue/2nd version Marvel card



    Doctor Octopus: wearing his early green on green suit, on a T2 Fat Body like Penguin or Mr Mxyzptlk and complete with retractable arms (as seen in the extra pics).







    Mandarin: On a Fonzie body with rings on fingers; a modified Ming head; chest cloth emblem; Shazam style cape; purple Superman boots



    Group shot!




    The backs of these cards can be seen in this thread's opening post. Cards courtesy of the Toyroom.


    Thanks for looking.

    Scooped!

    Great minds must think alike, or something like that. I have a Doom, Ock, and Red Skull in the pipeline. Your cards look awesome, as I'm sure the figures will too.

            Very cool. That's always at the top of my wish they had made those list.

                      Ha! I just noticed the amount of green fabric needed to make all those customs! Are all villains GREEN?!?

                      Nice cards, by the way.....

                        I noticed that too when I was doing the cards....the villains love them some green! I think I read before that a lot of times green and purple are used for villains to counter the primary colors, reds and blues, that a lot of super-heroes use.
