I don't want to buy a yard online, because if I live to be 100, I'll never use it all. I'm talking about the kind of material you would use to make Captain America's belly. I only need a bit. I can buy it from you or we could trade. I have some nice flame print material (flames are a bit big, but it would depend on how you cut it.

If anyone has anything let me know. (Or if you seem some in a store. I have JOann's, Hobby lobby, etc...and never saw any)

I need a fat body with an African American skin tone. As far as I know, Mego never made one, and nobody sells a repro version that is non-caucasian.

So is dyeing the way to go? If so, does anyone have a "recipe" for getting good results? ]]> Custom Mego Discussion sprytel http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=33031 http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?t=32999&goto=newpost Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:34:25 GMT Does anyone remember this Saturday Night Live sketch? I think it was Dan Akroyd introducing obviously dangerous toys and defending them while someone else pointed out what was wrong with them. One of them was Johnny Switchblade. I'm pretty sure they just used a Mego Fonzie, with something in his hands as knives.

I've never done an acetone shrink, so you guys that have,tell me if my idea would, or wouldn't work.

Here's my plan:
1. Take a repro RC cowl and soak it in acetone.
2. Take it out of the acetone, and put it on a resin Bruce Wayne head.
3. After it shrinks to the shape of the head, remove it, wash off any trace of acetone, and put your new, tight fitting cowl on the actual rubber Bruce head.


Sound good in theory? You guys let me know what you think.

One of my daughter's favorite hero/villains is the White Queen and since the popularity of the new Wolverine cartoon I have been getting pushed to making the White Queen.


In current X-Men comics, Jean Grey is off in Neverland somewhere with Phoenix powers and the White Queen (Emma Frost) is Cyclop's main squeeze.

So....it is time to make the White Queen.

I have a nice looking Dinah Mite doll with blue Sapphire lipstick I have painted on her lips.

What would be a good outfit??? Something that is appropriate for a 11 year old girl?

How would this work?

All thoughts and ideas welcomed. :wink:

The prices are pretty cool, but they soak you on shipping. They are from parabox in japan, and the ones you want are the 21cm shoes. I just got two pairs of Mary Jane like shoes for 5 bucks a pair. However, the shipping was 18 bucks, which shocked the snot out of me. You might want to drop them a line first, before ordering and see if the price is constant for large orders. That way, you can buy shoes in bulk. They also have boots, clothes, bikes, wigs, heads, and bodies. I found a great source of shoes for the female figures.
