Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman - 1979 Super Friends episode Planet of Oz
A tornado sweeps through Metropolis. The Dynamic Duo try to stop the storm from both their Batcopter and Batblimp, but it will not dissipate immediately. Batman warns Aquaman, Superman and Wonder Woman about the tornado approaching them at the Hall of Justice. Superman thinks about neutralizing it with his breath, but Wonder Woman warns him that the storm is already on top of them. The tornado sweeps the Hall of Justice away without demolishing it by taking it to a mysterious world based on L. Frank Baum's fictional region, Oz.
There Mr. Mxyzptlk turns Superman, Aquaman and Wonder Woman into the Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz. After they pass various dangers he reveals his plan was to have them collect for him the ingredients of a potion that will make it so he doesn't have to go back to the 5th Dimension. He still goes back when he says his name backwards because they figured out what he was up to and switched the ingredients.
Super-Tinman is made with an original Mego T2 body with blue CTVT hands; original Mego Tinman head; original Mego Tinman accessories all painted to match cartoon; cape, chest emblem, suit, and belt from FTC Super Friends Superman figure.

Group show with Mr. Mxyzptlk...
This was a set (along with my Sheriff Aquaman and Kid Superman) that would have never seen the light of day if not inspired by the new Super Friends line from Figures Toy Company. Kudos to them for hitting a home run with this line.
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!
Peace, Love, and Megos!
