Yeah the Mego Captain America always bothered me too...they ball dropped in so many ways on this one....

Anyway, reworked the figure, keeping only the original head, star emblem and stripes and shield....
all the rest is new and, hopefully, improved.

Used Silver Age Kirby Cap for inspiration on the box and the figure. Went with a darker blue for the uniform,
totally repainted the head (I think the cowl needs to be redone though to match the suit better)
and accessorized accordingly (proper boots, Classic Plastick gloves, belt and white portion of the sleeves).

Excellent version, looks just like the "real" Cap, but i must add that since I have ALWAYS been a Cap fan, the original MEGO guy has a certain charm that I love!!!

Way to improve the Mego CAP! It gives him that "what Mego should have done" look. Just by painting the Eyes properly...makes a BIG difference...great Job!

I'm also impressed by the look of that head painted as it should have been. Very subtle changes, but he looks perfect.

I like that you reused the Mego head, and kept the feel of the outfit while incorporating a Mego style belt. Nice work!
