    The Amalgam Universe - Part 4

    See, I told you it wouldn't take another year and a half.

    Again, two of these were on display at Mego Meet but weren't complete yet. The other 3 are new.

    Group Shot Number 4 : Amazon, ShatterStarfire, Captain America, Jr., The Green Skull and Nuke



    Amazon (Wonder Woman + Storm)
    Head and Body: Mego Uhura (I painted the eyes)
    Hair Reroot: Diana
    Suit: Austin, sewn by my wife
    Tiara and Earrings: LaserMego
    Cape: BL

    I really love how this one turned out. Everything just works.


    ShatterStarfire (Starfire + Shatterstar)
    Head, Body and Suit: FTC Starfire figure
    Hair Reroot: Diana
    Suit: Austin, sewn by my wife
    Gloves, Belt, Armband and Sword: FTC
    Head Gear and Eye Sticker: LaserMego
    Armor: FTC

    This one doesn't get made without the base figure from FTC. So kudos to them. Add Paul's awesome hardgear & eye sticker and some accessories and I think she looks pretty damn good.


    Captain America, Jr. (Captain Marvel Jr + Captain America)
    Head: Austin - Painted by me
    Body: EMCE
    Suit: Austin - sewn by my wife
    Belt: FTC
    Boots: CAW
    Cape: Doc
    Shield: Vinny

    This one was at MM but needed his cape, which took me forever. Still not 100% happy with it but until FTC makes a red one with yellow trim it will do. I also had to redo his armbands. They look much better now.


    The Green Skull (Lex Luthor + The Red Skull)
    Head: FTC, painted by me
    Body: FTC
    Robe: C. Flatt
    Pants and Shoes: FTC
    Scarf and Shirt: FTC
    Earth: C. Flatt

    I needed another villain, lol. With Charlees help on the robe this one came to life I feel.


    Nuke (Bane + Nuke)
    Head: BK - painted by me
    Body: Venture Brothers figure
    Pants: Parts Box
    Boots: EMCE
    Belt: FTC
    Arm Accessory: BTAS Bane figure
    Tube: Electrical Wire I painted
    Chest Sticker: LaserMego

    Another baddie. Once I decided on how to do the Venom attachment this one just came together. I really like it.


    Stay tuned for the next five coming soon.

    I hope everyone has enjoyed these and much as I have making them.

    Thanks for looking.

                  We're going to have to clear a space for your Amalgam series in the Customego Hall of Fame my friend. These are absolutely inspiring!

                        I love them all, even if I have my reservations about the base figures themselves.

                        However, I won't go into that here.

                        The Amazon figure is great! I really like the way it turned out with the paint app on the eyes, and the reroot job. If Mego had ever made a Storm figure, they surely would have used Uhura's head for the base.

                        The outfit isn't too bad either. I think I collected that series, and it's almost dead perfect.

                        The only head I really don't get an evil vibe from is the GreenSkull figure. Lex's scowl is almost iconic, it's such a part of his character. The figure doesn't have that scowl. That is the only thing that detracts from it.

                        Otherwise, they are all great figures.

                              Loved Amalgam, great customs!
                              It was like that when I got here.
