    Pack of Heroes Finished Mego Customs

    Hey all at the Mego Museum! I am a Mego customizer and Illustrator from Australia! I recently worked on some custom Mego Dolls of a few superhero characters from a card game which I am currently illustrating called Pack of Heroes!

    We also created a nifty commercial for the dolls which is inspired by the great mego toy commercials of the 70's.
    Hope you enjoy! You can read more about the figures and the project at my blog http://www.johnd-c.com or about the Pack of Heroes project (which is now on kickstarter) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects
    /1425721404/pack-of-heroes-a-superhero-card-game








    Of course ever good action figure needs their own clamshell packaging!




    For comparison here is the group in illustrated form.


    As you can see I created a Mego styled body which was a hybrid of the standard and muscular bodies from CTT for a few of the figures. I really like the chest and arms of the muscular body, as they are a more beefy and Superhero-like than the standard body, especially when the character isn't wearing a shirt but I feel the legs and feet are a tad too hulky and don't lend themselves well to wearing shoes or standard mego sized pants. You can read more about hoe I did this on my blog http://www.johnd-c.com/2013/05/pack-...ego-style.html

    Thanks for checkin out my customs and keeping the mego torch alive!!
