What would be your most un-likely Mego custom

[ddgaff1132]

Hello Yunz all,
Came up with this as I get ready to start my customizing work for tonite. I hope to finish a Thundarr I've been working on. Thundarr the barbarian was kinda at the end of the Mego era. So it kinda fits. Also it was an American TV show so if mego suvived they could have done a figure. See what I mean?

What I'm getting at is. What favorite thing in your life would you Mego-ize that has little or nothing to do with Mego.
Mine would be RED DWARF. It is far from the mego time period. Except for Doc Who. I never see much English tv action figs. and I have'nt seen ANY toy or action figures for Dwarf.

So lets get another group discussion going. Shall we?

>What favorite thing in your life would you Mego-ize that has little or nothing to do with Mego.

That's easy; characters from my own comic:

Rashasi Lalachana - Mego Talk
New custom - Mego Talk

Don C.

[The Bat]

Ok...non-Mego Era choices:

Jack Bauer-"24"
Heroes
Smallville
The Matrix!!!!

What favorite thing in your life would you Mego-ize that has little or nothing to do with Mego.

Foilman, of course

Foilman can be made by anyone--- young and old --- talent or no talent.

No drawing board ...

Just run with it and if it get's too difficult, you're thinking too much

It could also be a DaveMc custom.

Actually there are 2 newscasters on MSNBC I would like to sculpt and make Mego figures out of; but they have nothing to do with Mego. I thought about sculpting: Kieth Olberman of Countdown and Joe Scarborough of Mornin' Joe; just for the challenge of sculpting their likenesses. To be honest though, I don't think either of them would be interested in having custom action figures made of themselves.

My first Mego customs of the non-Mego era are Robert Urich as Spenser and Avery Brooks as Hawk.

[David Lee]

Good thread...
That's the beauty of Mego! Nothing would be "off" to them... From Superheroes to KISS, from Starskey and Hutch to the Waltons, or Buck Rogers to Laverne and Shirley... Scale? Genre? Who cares?! Mego didn't and neither do I

Tops for me:

Clash of the Titans (or Generic Mythical Greek/Roman Heroes)

Historical Warriors ( Minute men, Greek Hipolite, WW II, Civil War, Genghis Kahn, Ninjas Etc...)

Aladdin and the Genie of the Lamp (not the Disney Version)

Gangsters (30's style, with Pinstripe suites and "Tommy" 30 caliber machine guns)

I'd also like to do a few U.S. Marshals Service Air Enforcement Officers (for here at work).

My Image Comicbook Character Custom's.

[JediJaida]

What would be your most un-likely Mego custom

Mel Gibson's Braveheart.

Fairy Tales: (non-Disney)

The Fairy Godmother

Rapunzel

The Snow Queen

Baba Yaga

Mythology:

Medusa and her sisters

Poseidon

Amphitrite

TV:

Xena

Gabrielle

Autolycus

John Steed

Mrs. Peel

Richard Lynch's Anton Voytek

(That was from a TV movie that was supposed to be picked up for a TV series, but never was. Which was a shame, as he was excellent as the lead character. A more evil vampire than Vlad Dracul, as he was older and a lot more vicious.)

Oberon

Titania

Ariel

Puck

(from Shakespeare, not the X-Men)

Mr. Roarke (from Fantasy Island)

Lana Turner

I have to stop now, I've run out of ideas, but I will post when I think of more.

Spongebob Squarepants SPONGEBOB!..wip - Mego Talk

[CrimsonGhost]

Early 70's Black Sabbath

I'm not sure why, they're weren't even visually dynamic.

8in scale of course, but 12 would be ok too.

[Timothy2251]

I'll run with CrimsonGhost's idea... and raise it with music-themed Megos of:

Motorhead (c'mon! What kid wouldn't want an 8" Lemmy?)
Rush (2112 era - flared sleeves and chest hair, folks!)
The Monkees (OK this is my wife's idea, but Mego should've been all over this. Same bodies, same costumes, just change the heads!)
Elvis (riffs on the above idea, except you just change his outfits. A shelf full of Elvi... just imagine!)

And, just for coolness' sake... a Mego of Miles Davis. Need, nay DEMAND, some cool jazz on my shelf, yo.

[ddgaff1132]

I was gonna say that!!!

It could also be a DaveMc custom.

Although you could also through him in with the JAWS customs and say he's the Richard Dreyfus.

Dave you know we luv ya man!?
