One of them was captain marvel and he asked me if they made the boy that turns into him. That got me thinking about what the recipe would be for a custom billy batson. Maybe you start with a lion rock body or something. My guess is someone has already made one here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve Hi guys,

Has anyone had any experience with flocking an 8 inch body? If so, how did it turn out? I'm looking to do some MOTU figures for my son.

BTW, I am trying to pull out the full hand, stem and all. Should I focus on pushing out the pin joining the hand piece to the stem piece (the stem fits inside the lower arm piece)?

A good source in Canada for bubbles that are the EXACT size of
a Teen Titans bubble is at Shoppers Drug Mart:
Their own 'house brand' called "Stylize":

Look for "Self-Holding Rollers", 6 pack, about $2.50 CAN

measure: 7" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/4", clear

These are probably the closest I have ever found to a Teen Titans scale (except an old Wee Win 'Heroes of the Kingdom' bubbles) ]]> Custom Mego Discussion comicmike http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?86005-Repro-Teen-Titans-bubbles-Canada-Shoppers-Drug-Mart-quot-Stylize-quot-Self-Holding-Rollers 8 inch flocked gi joe head??? http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?85961-8-inch-flocked-gi-joe-head&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 01:26:03 GMT Hi,

Reminds me of the magnetic Batman. Kind of awesome...

Has anyone already done a 3D print for an 8" Mego Head?

Paul?
:drool_y:

I don't know what the economics would be but I'd many requests for Trek Sideburn guys to fill out my crew. They wouldn't have to be stars or celebrities or real people even.

But more Trek guys would be nice.

I don't know if anyone has confirmed that a 3D Printer could do one with good detail. I'm assuming it can. ]]> Custom Mego Discussion cdhall http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?85836-3D-Print-heads Need Help From The Custom Package Pros http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?85817-Need-Help-From-The-Custom-Package-Pros&goto=newpost Sat, 11 May 2013 02:10:53 GMT I've run into a bit of a problem that I hope the custom package pros can help me with.
