Introducing the Super Friends resident giant...APACHE CHIEF!

This custom was one of those "quickies" that took several years to complete. He just kinda sat in a shoebox with all the material for his costume for years and years.

Apache Chief started life as a 12 inch G.I.Joe Spirit. As soon as I saw him, I was smitten.

Challenge of the Super Friends: Apache Chief vs. Solomon Grundy!

When I was a kid, Apache Chief was absolutely my favorite Super Friend. He has the coolest visual power. I can't forget the time he milked the venom from the giant Cobra (which actually sounds like a euphemism). I know that the PC ethnic heroes made up for the show took a lot of flak. I loved Samurai, Black Vulcan and especially Apache Chief. Inyuk-chuk!

Hey! You could even argue that he is in Mego scale. My work here is done.

NIce job, i know they were fill-in characters to be more PC before PC was popular butb they were fun to watch as they gave them very visual and different powers to everyone else.

Cool! I have that Spirit figure, and I've been planning to make him Apache Chief for some time. I have a lot to live up to now!

Great job!

By the way, AC was always my favorite "made-up" Super Friend as well!
