    A taste of what might have been - a tribute to Cast-A-Way

    I put this together with help from ScottA and the amazingly talented Chris Franklin. My crappy photos from tonight don't do the card art justice, but they'll do until I can get better pics up. This version of the Lone Ranger, as well as our take on Green Hornet, are for the Mego Meet 2013 customs auction. The cardback, which I will post tomorrow, is equally as awesome as the front and gives a shout-out to Dave and Jason.

    Holy Cow! That is just outstanding! I have several 8" customs that my son and I have come up with for the small scale CA, but had never quite left the superhero circle of influence. Can't wait to see the Hornet. Love the use of the SuperJoe boots as well.

    very well done, and the card is spectacular as well.

            It was nice to revisit Captain Action, and put a cap on some unfinished business. Plus Steve has some incriminating photos of me, so I HAD to do it!

              I am still wrestling with the Hornet's jacket, but one way or the other he will be unveiled very soon. The biggest challenge is making the figures do justice to the card art!

                    Wow! that's just spectacular... I mean that really is something that "Could" and probably should have been made. That makes me proud and sad at the same time. I really miss making 8 inch figures, it's something I really love doing. When I see excellent, creative collaborations like this, it makes me proud to have been part of something so cool. I won't quote MacArthur but....

                              Wow! I absolutely love those. I wish like crap I could make the show and bid on those, but I'm wrapped up with my daughter's graduation celebration that weekend. Excellent work guys! You really knocked the ball out of the park.
