Thats right folks, Straight from the 1978 TV movie based on Marvel Comics, Sorcerer Supreme, and starring Peter Hooten, comes McKenzie McKustoms latest labor of love, Doctor Strange! The good Doctor is constructed on a type 2 repro body, featuring a cape from a Paco Wrestling figure, a CTVT bodysuit i modified to resemble the final costume Hooten wears in the film with a few exceptions...No Disco slacks!! Instead, I made the costume all one piece like his comic book costume. the costume is adorned with his Captain Marvel style chest logo, i made with a white clothing repair patch, gauntlets, and his belt with hand sculpted belt buckle i made using Apoxie Sculpt. the head is from a CTVT Space 1999 figure I thought resembled Hooten, i just gave him blue eyes and added the porn stache. There you have it guys! I hope you enjoy :) -Will

Yep, I remember that tv-movie well.

Jeez, they could have AT LEAST splurged for some white hair highlights on the sides...

I used a tiiiiiny bit of sarcasm with the whole "demanded" thing :) I know the film is more or less panned by everyone, so i thought it would be funny to pop out a figure for sh$Ts and gigggles. I'm really pleased with the way he came out, and thanks so much for the kind words BN :wink:

I never would've thought of this one, but you've done a great job!

In the film is he wearing flared slacks & boots?

I vaguely recall catching this movie on a Saturday afternoon in the 80s. You did a nice job on it! I like the odd customs!

Unfortunately, Yes lol you can watch the movie on youtube in chapters. I believe it's the second to last chapter where he gets his new costume complete with god awful pants lol

And thanks :grin:

Awesome! I remember sitting in front of the TV with my Marvel Universe open to the DOCTOR STRANGE page and just slowly deflating as the movie played. Ah, the disappointments of youth!

Great figure, man. I look forward to your customs!

I was the guy who demanded it, nice work.

One of these days I want to do all the TV Movie versions as Mego figures and include stuff like "Exo Man" for good measure.

Isn't that actor a porn star from the 70s? Where's Hector when you need him. He would know. (Nice job on the figure btw)

Not sure how I missed this thread before now, but that's excellent, Will. I love completely unique figures like this. I can't imagine anyone ever making this before now, but it's "strangely" absent from all the customs made before now. You need to see if you can find a hi-res image of him and have Toyroom make a box/card. That would take the awesome factor up a few notches. Well done, dude.
