    Vinny -

    I believe Austin did a great looking Ocean Master not too long ago. You could get with him on the head, emblem, and weapon.

    I've seen Mego female heads with different color hair pop up on eBay from time to time - all different colors...and different shades of red. One of them would work for Mera.

    Black Panther...you could use Russ' Union Jack head and sculpt the "ears" on.

    Hope that helps buddy.. (BTW - I'm working on YOUR custom as I write this)

      You can also check with Brian Leitner on the Ocean Master head, and I know he has Lex Luthor too.

        Yep, BL definitely has a great Luthor head. And those female heads with colored hair on eBay are from member here, but I'll be damned if I remember his name

          ^^^ He wont sell his Heads Unless they are on Ebay.
          & I would Just use Russ's Black Panther Head,.. If you can get one. BP's head's still the Same,.. just a few different costume Designs & a Cape.

              I've gotten heads from him without resorting to ebay...maybe you just have to ask nicely.

                Just temporarily I think. He told me he thinks he'll be re-opening soon...You can send him an email - he may even have one already poured and ready to go.

                  I've seen a version of BP using a mego Batman head with the mouth covered, probably with Sculpey or something like that. It was a resin cast. I actually think I might have one in my box of heads. It's very mego-like which is something I shoot for in my own personal customs. I have a Falcon with my FC figure that I believe came from a Fisher Price set that came with a giant. It's one of the newer sets, not little people. It may be too big for a mego figure though. AC Moore has plastic animals. They may have a falcon there. I think Ben Franklin does too.
                  It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                    I didn't say Leitner... That Guy with the Chick Heads.

                          Artist Al Bigley made a custom original green-suited Falcon figure back in the day but I can't find any pictures of it. He's the one who also made the cool Monkeys custom figures too.
