    The Beatles- Abbey Road (THE FAB FOUR IN MEGO)

    I see a lot of people tackling the Beatles in Mego form and they always go for the younger years. I wanted to go for a little something like maybe their last and final days when they were older and one of the greatest albums "Abbey Road" was released.
    I spent months getting these head sculpts to how I wanted them. John Lennon really looks like John Lennon under that beard. You can find he customs in progress when I was working on them and asking for advice. I went with a beard with Lennon because that's how Abbey Road was even though it may have taken away his features.
    I hope all Beatles fans can appreciate my hard work and my nightmare of sculpting and hell I went through. I was told to look up that nice box guy on here and I hear if i am nice to him and give him money he could design individual packaging for these four. Maybe?

          That wasn't even an official Beatles record. I believe the record company just threw that record together and slapped some photos for the cover and on the back of them posing inside/outside of John Lennon's house. It's sometimes referred to a Beatles album but none of the Beatles had any say about it's release. In fact, I think it was just George Martin of somebody who threw together a bunch of B-sides and singles to make an album.
          The outfits that were in that photo shoot make them look like crop Amish farmers including John Lennon who was sporting the very first ideal fanny pack that he picked up in India or something. Took years to catch on with males but they are much lighter now. LOL

            I'm more of an Elvis Fan - there is some sort of saying - I forget how it goes but it is summed up by - if you like Elvis's Music you normally do not like the beatles music abd vis-versa" haha not sure if it is true for everyone but it tis true in my case. I'm sure most love the beatles - but they are just not for me

            But great job on the figures

                      Actually I originally messed Paul McCartney up really bad in the beginning. Goto the Customs works in Progress area and check out my first attempts for some laughs. He looked like Donny Osmond.
                      I needed the slaps and laughs to make me keep going back to that clay until I got Paul right.

                      Plus Paul McCartney came over for tea and he said, "Cosmicman my friend. This looks OK. Just don't ever make me look like Donny Osmond again or I will force you to live in the barn like I did Denny Laine."

                        Hey Hue, goto the W.I.P. customs area and click on the Beatles. Check out the Hell I went through to get Paul right. He looked like Donny Osmond for awhile.
                        I need to take an new picture also I touched up their hair with highlights to get that black/brown look. Click on my OGME link to see it.
                        Peace Hue!!!!
