    Need Advice on New Superheroes...

    Hi Guys,

    I'm working on some new DC and Marvel custom Superheroes, and I would like to get your advise on the best route to go with these customs. I'm trying to replicate the 80's and 90's style comics as close as possible...without losing the Mego feel. Incidentally, I'm also running a contest. Whoever can guess the identity of the Bruce Wayne head i'm using...I will mail out (to the winner) a free Re-strung action figure by me. Now if many people guess the right head (identity), I will put all the right answers (members names) in a bag and let my son select one name from the bag. This contest is absolutely free and I'll pay for the shipping to the chosen winners' home (contest will run until this Friday August 10, 2018, there could be only one winner, I'll announce the winner on 8/10/18). PM me or Answer via the thread.

    OK, Mego Museum. Here's my new Batman that's a work in progress (I'm currently prepping and painting the other hand), Whose head is under the cowl and what else do you guys think he needs, or is he fine as is. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

    I love that Batman. I have no idea who is under the mask, though. Looks like it could be a repainted Scotty from the Star Trek line?

      Nice Batman! The picture is so small it's hard to tell who is under that cowl...but it looks like Shazam.

            I'm pretty sure that's Shazam / Peter Parker. I looked back at your video again this afternoon to study it with pausing the frames. Happy to see the larger pics.

                Thanks Guys, This Friday I'll reveal who's under the cowl and who will win the re-strung action figure by yours truly (by guessing my new take on Bruce Wayne) .

                  This is a very cool looking colorful figure, thanks for posting and I am guessing it's Shazam under the cowl also.

                    After careful close inspection of the Batman. I'm going to guess it's Bruce Wayne. I think Batman is really Bruce Wayne, Billionaire, Playboy.


                    All kidding aside. I'm going with Mr. Fantastic for the win. Is Mr. Fantastic from Fantastic 4 the head used?

                        Agreed!!! To all the individuals involved in this (free) mini-contest, I'll reveal tomorrow evening the secret of Batman's identity. If for any reason multiple Mego Museum members had the correct answer...I would put their names in a bag (via a folded card)...shake it well and let my son pull out the winning card (Member name). The winner shall receive a nice action figure gift re-strung by me. "GOOD LUCK TO ALL".

                            Someone has interfered with the Live feed. It's the Joker........The Joker has interfered with the Live stream. We'll switch to mainstream pictures.

                              We're getting so close to the unveiling of the Batman Cowl. Just want to take the time to thank all those who participated in the mini-contest (We'll do this again soon).
