    MLJ Heroes: The Fly



    The Fly would be in my top three of all Archie heroes, he's a Jack Kirby/Joe Simon creation and well, his comics were good. Nice art and the stories were on par or better than the stuff DC was doing at the time.

    He was however, a two month project that I kept circling back to. The head is Captain Canuck (lucky me he was perfect for this) and the parts are FTC and Castaway, the gun is Mego and the wings are from a Wasp Marvel Legends figure.





    Thanks for looking.

                I must have spent a good hour trying to find the perfect head, i find it ironic that there were 50 of them in the room behind my office.

                          This is my favorite Crusader and the one I was most looking forward to from you. Home run!

                          Also, quite jealous that you have an unbroken FG holster to spare for this, too. Hmmph.

                          Did you use Legends Wasp wings? They're nice.

                            I completely agree, but The Web (if done, and done as good) could knock The Fly down to 2nd!

                              The Web is the most difficult. That's why we see so few good Spider-Woman customs...
