So I'm thinking of doing James Rhodes Iron Man and it's gonna be simple. I just need to put a new head on a Mego Iron Man body. Only problem is, I don't know where to find a black male head. I was thinking of repainting a Mr. Fantastic head, but that's blackface. So... any 8" black male figures whose head I can use?

OK, but back in the day, Rhodey had hair (unlike his MCU incarnation.)FTC apologist, Hawkman stan, and Cybatom shipper.Comment

However, Brian's suggestion is still helpful to others (like me) who had no idea that about that Jordan head until I saw his custom. Again, not a lot of options for people of color.Comment

I rather like Kano. Biggish, though.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Carl Weathers/Apollo Creed will soon be coming from Mego.(when unknown) if you can wait for him.Comment

They still have the AA AJ head in three hair colors I think. Also for vintage style bodies you have LJN Deacon from SWAT and Terry from the Rookies. I think the Deacon head is the best of the lot.Last edited by Megotastrophe; Apr 6, '20, 12:55 AM.Comment
