Money Man - What to do now?

[livnxxxl]

Well here is my latest version of a character that I totally made up that I call "Money Man". I am just curious to hear what others may think I could do to him that would may him look cool or cooler. It seems like there is something missing and I am not completely happy with this figure yet to call it a done deal. Anyone have any good ideas?

cool,he's got that Ultimate Warrior face paint going on there :grin:

[saucerful]

to me, money man wouldn't show so much leg. i'd like to see him in some corduroy pants.

Hey, Now that you mention that fact you are absolutely right. I never thought about that before. And here I thought I was creating something unique. :smiley1:

[SUP-Ronin]

I like the mask style, unique afa megos I have seen, but it sort of makes him look like he is frowning. Is it because he doesn't have enough loot??? or has money made him bitter?
Maybe it is because he spent all his money filling his gas tank, like me. :ugh_y:

I believe you are right. That is probably what is bugging me about completing him. That is the part that just does not look right to me either. Maybe for Money Girl now that will be a different story. :smiley1: I need to come up with some kind of a unique and cool costume that isn't shall we say so leggy? :grin: I am not sure that you sold me on the corduroy pants idea though. :smile: Does anyone even make corduroy pants in Mego scale? Maybe those would be a good idea for his altered ego version that I will also make some time down the road. I am picturing the alter ego in a all white Brooke's Brother's or Armani suit. So far here is my line up of characters that I am making up.

Money Man (above) - subject to change in appearence of course
Money Man's alter ego
Money Woman or and or Money Girl
Phat *******

Perhaps more to come the more creative I become. AND the better I get at actually making customs. :grin:

Thanks for the ideas

[livnxxxl]

Maybe it is because he spent all his money filling his gas tank, like me. :ugh_y:

I think that must be the case :smiley1:. Fueling the exotic crime fighting sports car does take a hellacious toll on anyone's pocket book. :smile:

Money Woman or and or Money Girl

Howabout a sidekick named Penny or Spare Change or something like that. And give Money Man some pants. Looks like Orange would work.

[steshell]

Spare Change is a geat name for a sidekick, maybe her alter ego's first name could be Penny and Money Man's first name could be Bill.


Steve

[BlackKnight]

Very Interesting character !
I like the Vision. :grin:

[Man of Action]

His arch enemy would be"Tapped out" :silly:

[steshell]

His arch enemy would be"Tapped out" :silly:


...or "Stone Broke"



Steve

[monkey tennis]

How about figure has a Gold Coin like some Star Wars figures.
Or a Gold Coin on a chain around his neck.

I think he should ride a Penny Farthing
And live down Penny Lane.

And his arch-enemy could be called
Mint

He could say "you've been Minted"

[BlackKnight]

His Arch-Enemy could Just Be ''The WIFE" . :smiley1:

[thunderbolt]

^^^ Nahh, Counterfeit Money Man.

[Captain]

....Maybe he's called Money Man cause he's VERY FRUGAL!...He dont need no stinkin' pants. Pants cost at least $10 bucks at Wal-Mart. Thats $10.00 saved....Notice he's not wearing any shoes either....MORE SAVINGS!!!;)

[ctc]

>Counterfeit Money Man.

.... his villainous clone from the nega-dimension....

I think he needs an accessory or weapon of some sort. Diamond tipped walking stick maybe?

I am officially "old" .... On the Beverly Hillbillies -- Mr. Drysdale gave Jethro a stack of Moneyman comics for cleaning out the garage. It set up a whole series of scenes where Jethro was going to be a Superhero. Great figure!!!

[spiderrogue]

maybe he's trying to get a little extra money, by showing off a little too much leg...if you know what i mean :wink_y:

[spiderrogue]

[monkey tennis]

Those are good ideas. I will consider them. Thanks for your input.

[livnxxxl]

That is a great idea. :smile: You could sure say that again about the good old tax man. How about Uncle Scam? That is another one that comes to mind off the top. :smile:

[livnxxxl]

His Arch-Enemy could Just Be ''The WIFE" . :smiley1:


There you go. I like your way of thinking. :smiley1:

I like the gold coin idea. That will more than likely become a reality. I have also thought about the gold chain idea before as well. I am thinking that may materialize as well. I already have the gold chain for him.

I have been thinking about adding a good sized rock to his finger. The diamond laser beam shooting from it could cut through whatever gets in his way.

[livnxxxl]

That is funny and for some actually true. Besides why can't a Super Hero just run around in his underoos. We are talking comfort here folks. It is not easy being a super hero all the time. In that case I would recommend a smiley face Mego sized head to mimic the Wal-mart mascot that used to be seen slashing prices all over the store. Hmm....That is funny I do not see him slashing prices in the store any more these days. What up with that? :smiley1:

OOps almost forgot the blue vest. :smile:

[livnxxxl]

That makes two of us then. I used to like watching the "Hillbillies" as a kid. I never knew that Moneyman comics existed. I will have to try and find that episode and watch it. Thanks for the input and for the nice comment.

[livnxxxl]

Hey, I never stated exactly HOW Money Man became so successful. :grin: Perhaps you are on to something there. You have to start somewhere you know. :smiley1:

[Bo8a_Fett]

Maybe he can have a sidekick called Loose Change...who would always hide down the side of the sofa?
Or his enemies could join together and call themselves the Money to burn league or sommink..proberly....

Thanks for keeping the thought process alive. I actually thought of John Dough as an alter ego name. That was a real tough one I know. :smiley1:

I have also been thinking about M.W.A. Millionaire's With an Attitude as a group name. I already have the logo done. It is really fun reading the ideas that come to member's minds here. :smile:

[thunderbolt]

How about the Money men of Different Nations, too? Peso, Mark, Euro,...etc.

[The Toyroom]

I automatically think of the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase when I see a character like this...with PANTS! :smiley1:

[thunderbolt]

His belt should have one of those change makers like carhops used to wear.

It is funny you mention that. I actually have one of those stored some where in my garage. :grin:

Too funny! :smiley1: I can just see that.

Money Man's Alter Ego - John Dough (How appropriate) :smiley1:

He's really creative! Where did you get the tunic? Did you sew it? It's great.

[thunderbolt]

And carry a roll of quarters so he punch guys with it balled up in his fist.

[livnxxxl]

He's really creative! Where did you get the tunic? Did you sew it? It's great.

Hi, Thank you for the nice comment. :smile: I only wish I could sew that good. :grin: I have yet to try my hand at sewing. Those that have been doing it here make it look "so" easy. No pun intended. I am not sure if I should get a machine or if I should just start out trying it by hand. My gf already thinks that I am losing it with my Mego obsession. Kidding of course. I figured that if she sees me with a needle and some thread sewing little costumes that will definitely seal the "I am going nuts over Mego" thought that she already thinks now. :smiley1: I keep thinking that one of these days I am going to start piling up my mash potatoes on my plate at dinner time like the guy did in the movie Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. :smiley1: I hope not for my and my gf sake. :smile: In regards to your question. Shamefully, The tunic came from a dollar store. :smiley1: What would we all do without those dollar stores for our quick fixes. :smile: It fits perfect as you can see. It was basically something to get the idea off the ground and the ball rolling. I believe that this will all change regarding his outfit in the near future. I have recently enlisted outside help from someone that does superior customs and sewing work. I have also recently created a thread to vote for his (Money Man's) mask. Someone earlier mentioned that they thought Money Man looked like he was frowning so we cannot have that for a super hero. :smiley1:

[livnxxxl]

And carry a roll of quarters so he punch guys with it balled up in his fist.

Now that would be one super hero that packs a punch. :smiley1: I have thought about making him a customized ring on one hand that it like a set of brass knuckles. I am talking like a HUGE four finger ring kind of like the rap stars used to tote around. The ring could be engraved with an "MM" logo. So when Money Man punches out the villians he would be like branding their forehead at the same time with the "MM" logo seal of approval. :smiley1:
On his other hand would be another ring with a big rock (diamond that is) on it. The ring would be able to cut through anything that would happen to get in Money Man's path. Whatcha think?

Trust me...you WON'T be disappointed when you see what he's come up with!:yeah:

[livnxxxl]

I could not agree more. I just seen the pictures. It is simply awesome to say the very least. I am patiently yet anxiously waiting at the same time to see how the box turns out as well. :cool_y:

[fallensaviour]

to me, money man wouldn't show so much leg. i'd like to see him in some corduroy pants.

Ditto if he is the hero he needs pants!!!The sidekick wears the shorts....A side kick named....spare change there you go...LOL

Ya he needs pants and a side kick.

[monkey tennis]

He could have a "Loan Shark"...like Aqua-Man.

Not sure how it would work.

Oh thats a good one.That could be his arch nemesis.Loanshark or Fore-closer,Ya I like those as money mans enemies... :wink_y:

[thunderbolt]

Could his secret lair be located below a Pawn Shop?

[livnxxxl]

Those are good ideas. :smile: The Fantastic "Fore"-closer :grin:

I don't see why not. By day a pawn dealer by night a money laundering crime fighter. :smiley1: What do you think?
