Now that is Cool!!! Mego missed an opportunity in '76 during the Bicentenial Hoopla. What a year that was!!!
Well thought out and definately looks like a toy that would have been on the shelf at K-Mart. Great job!!!

Excellent job Paul. I like the diversity of your customs. I've been thinking of taking a stab at my favorite historical personage, John Paul Jones!
