    I'm dyeing to make Dr. Mego's Hulk body green.

    Is there a tutorial or old thread on here somewhere about dyeing mego-like bodies? I've had one of Dr. Mego's white, "more articulated" Hulk bodies lying around for a couple of years and would finally like to put it to good use. What brand and color of dye have others used? Is it just simply "green" or called something else?

    Krylon Fusion for Plastics worked great for me. Use Hunter / Safety Green. Dis-assemble body in separate limbs, apply paint in several thin coats, let dry in UV sun a couple of hours and re-string / assemble back.

      Rit Dye has a new one for synthetics that Lego customizers are using to dye bricks, so it should work on the hard plastic parts.

        I'm still holding out hope that Doc will eventually make his 8" Hulk body in green. I've seen the Doc white regular bodies dyed green and the dye doesn't take evenly(the knee & elbow joints for example....and the chest). Most likely they are a different plastic than the rest of the body.

          Send Doc a message requesting a green Hulk style body, if he gets enough requests he may look into it
          he might even come up with different color Hulk style bodies too.

            seems like flesh, grey, red and green would be like printing money for him. All you can do with the white one is Grundy and clothed figures.

              again, the new Rit Synthetic will work on the bodies, they dye Lego bricks perfectly so they should work on the hard plastic of the body.

                  The longer legs seem to be the BEST option right now IMO.
