    Rebuilding my (sadly gone) collection of custom megos

    Hello everyone,

    Back after a long time away from Megoland and my sadly sold collection...restarting it now!


    I wanted to start with the Fantastic Four, the core team and customize some of their villains, any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Best,
    G.

    Are you looking to make your own or are you looking for suggestions on the very talented customizers here on the forum? Also depends on how realistic you want the figures to look. There are some that like "what Mego would have made if they made it" look and there are some that like the "that really looks so and so" look.

      I'm veering more towards "what Mego would have made if they made it" to keep that Classic Vibe.

      I'd like to start with the core team first, ie. that certain color of the jumpsuits, the Mego look of the heads, etc.

        Welcome! Dr. Mego will likely have solid-color bodysuits and resin heads, as well as some boots and gloves. MegoWGSH here offers screened suits for Thing and Torch, as well as many resin heads. Classic TV Toys offers a huge assortment of parts and clothes as well, including a rooted-hair Invisible Girl head.

        Dr. Doom is a common custom here and easy to do well with repro parts. Super-Skrull and Sub-Mariner also turn up a fair bit. I've been wondering myself about doing other villains like Red Ghost, Blastarr, Annihilus, Medusa, etc. Medusa seems approachable with the services of a hair-re-rooter.

            You're welcome, looking forward to seeing your figures. Will you be doing the blue/black suits or the cobalt/white suits? There should be parts for both.

            Also, LaserMego here produces excellent vinyl stickers.

              I'm going for the Kirby Classic look, blue/black!

              Can't argue with perfection...

                  I was hoping you'd go with Kirby.

                    Kirby's versions are always (with the exception of Ditko Spidey, Dr. Strange etc.) my favorites!
