    The Columbian Super Powers Custom Mego Collection

    Inspired by Palitoy's thread: http://megomuseum.com/community/show...t=super+powers

    I have decided to make each of these characters (plus one bonus mystery character) in custom Mego form.

    Here is what I have so far...







    As you may be able to tell in the photographs, my focus is to make these as true to their Columbian Super Powers Knock-Off counterparts as possible.

    Two sets will be made: one for myself and a second carded set to be auctioned off at Mego Meet 2018 to the highest bidder. Hopefully, this set will gather interest not only from the Mego community but the Super Powers community as well, and bring in a handsome sum to help cover the Mego Museum server fees.

    Thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

    Austin

        An excellent idea! I would have loved to have found bootlegs of Secret Wars or Super Powers in the wild, especially Secret Wars.

          After looking at the linked posters--are Smock and Jack Fetid the foes?

          Is Smock Spanglish for Smog?

          And in reviewing your parts lot, I'll bet we see Snowman, too .

                            Love the progress shots. Beautifully mego-esque as usual.
