    80s Mohawk Storm

    Hullo Kitten.

    I have done like 7 Storm Mego Customs, but never got a request for my favorite version! So I put one together last year using a vintage Uhura base. Custom re-root, re-paint & custom outfit. Boots are original
    I'm selling her and am open to reasonable offers if anyone is interested.

            Thank you all so much! She is sold and on her way to be with her fellow mutants.

                YES!!! Mohawk Storm was delivered yesterday! She gets a prominent position on my slowly growing custom mutant shelf.

                A freight train load of thank you to Diana, The Re-Rooter, for crafting this magnificent custom figure.

                  That is a great looking figure! I'm curious about the head. Is it a re-cast that was then rooted or an original Uhura head? If an original Uhura head, any tricks to covering the holes left from removing the hair or just left as is? Love the look of this figure!

                    I was about to ask the same question. How'd you fill in the holes in her head?

                      Thank you!
                      This is Uhura's original head, not re-cast. Covering the holes was a theory that I experimented with involving several light layers of polyurethane and acrylic paint. The holes are still a little visible, I'm hoping to improve my technique next time I get a request for her.

                          Will you have any customs for sale at Mego Meet this year? Especially the "Classic" Storm that you did for Bronxboykev here on the Museum.

                            Blue Meanie!
                            Yes I will! I plan on getting on table (once I secure my plane ticket!) and my goal is to have about 20 heads ( hoping to have 3 Storm heads) and around 5 complete customs. I did a Jim Lee Storm for bronxboykev, I will most likely do the John Byrne version (black costume) unless I get a specific request. And if you want to bring a head for me to take home to customize, I will be set up for that too. If you want something specific, send me a message, as I want to bring heads that people are actually interested in! Thank you!
