    Cast-A-Way Build A Hero ( or we call it dress up Megos!)

    One or two nights a week, my kids and I play Megos.
    My 7 year old daughter gets a little bored, but my son loves it.
    So, when I received some Cast-A-Way stuff that I bought from Apositive, my kids started switching the clothes around and building 'their own Megos'.
    I was going to use some of the stuff, CAW bodies, Hero heads, clothing, boots, gloves,etc. and maybe sell off the rest. but when they started playing with all of it, I decided to bring it all out again the next time and say "OK dress up Megos!"
    Now I'm on a kick to complete a few CAW Heros, and since ScottA, and David Lee have been making some CAW stuff available again, I jumped on it.
    I got the red suit, and blue head and boots, and CAW body from Scott. I am waiting for yellow boots from David Lee, and I need to find a pair of blue gloves.
    The blue suit is Dr. Mego, and the blue and red belts are custom cast by him also! The yellow guy is on a DM body, because I only have 2 caucasian CAW bodies.
    I like putting them in the primary colors, so here we have...
    Mr. Blue, Mr. Yellow, and Mr. Red (I did buy a Mr. Yellow back in the day from Cast-A-Way, but used all the parts except the head).

    Now when we have Dress Up Megos my kids can switch them all up.
    I have extra suits, and other heads, and various boots for them too!
    My daughter is less bored with this! LOL!

      If those heads came in green it would make an awesome head for a custom Scorpion.

        I just saw a custom Scorpion, the other day, with a Cast-A-Way head painted green with stripes.

        Revised:
        I just found it!
        The head is the yellow hero Castaways head from awhile ago , the suit from Chicken Coupe Customs, and put him on a Mattel Green Arrow body for the green hands and used his boots too.

          I'm beyond thrilled to hear that your kids are digging Megos. Have they made up any adventures w/ them?
          "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

            Well I guess if you want to call them adventures, LOL! Just some silly fun, swapping clothes with other Megos. My son combines Thor's helmet on Spiderman, with Tarzan's suit over the spider costume. Not exactly like that, but him and my daughter do dress them crazy. When my daughter dresses them, she never wants anyone to change it, ever. There is a Mattel Green Lantern in a crazy oufit, and blue shorts over his head!
