I am sure a lot of you seen my Wolverine figure I made a couple of years ago by plugging a Famous Cover's Wolverine head that was way to small for the Famous Cover dolls. I cannot figure out why Famous Covers made the heads too small but it benefited a lot of my megos.

The Wolverine suit is my creation. I met a guy on here (forgot who it was) that made a bunch of slick body suits. I bought a yellow one from him and took the shoulder pads off the Famous Cover doll and fabric glued it to the body suit after I removed the sleeves.
The boots are Doctor Mego of course with a black piece of thick leather and poster board glued to the front of the boot. That came out kind of snazzy.

The other day I came across someone who plugged another Wolverine head and slapped it on a mego body. I gave him some money and took the Logan/mego off his hands and put on some clothing I had laying around my house.

My daughter hasn't seen it. It is a surprise for her when she comes home tomorrow night. Here is the Wolverine/Logan dolls standing together...

Cool again, Cat. My personal theory for the fc teeny heads is that Toybiz used Rob Liefeld for the control art. :)

I'm surprised how clean that looks--sometimes the FCs don't lok as good
as you want when transferred over the Mego--that's one of the best I've
seen----the costume really helps

Wolverine is one of my faves. These look cool.

Of course I'm not a toy collector/maker just a fan of toy collectors/makers. LOL
I'm amazed at the stuff on this site. Custom everything, so unique and well... custom. :yes:
