Converting new Mego 14" Zod

[EMCE Hammer]

I had a little bit of time to play around last night. The putty job on the thighs needs cleaning up. I didn't put a lot into it because I wasn't sure the idea would work. Having the dual hinge in the knee joint is what is key, otherwise the legs would lose proportion too much. I am pretty happy and learned a lot on this first attempt. For $20 I got a pair of arms, legs, boots, suit, and a vinyl head. I am going to move the belt up; I didn't do any sewing at all yet. The extra material at the legs is tucked in the boot.

Next up Batman

So basically all you had to do was the legs. No head shrinking or anything else. That looks really good, if that’s the case.

Now gop out and get 10 more Zods and convert them all and bring them to Mego Meet meet year and sell them Limited edition Mego Meet exclusive of 10

Yep. Moving on to Batman now. He's going to require some sewing.

dang Steve, that is pretty neat. Batman is gonna be a cool custom...I may have to make one too.

My hats off to you for having the stones to attempt this. Zod came out great.

At first, I was thinking "what's the big change"...but it actually is!

Is that an older Mego torso or FTC? And how did you switch the head?

Original Mego Torso and pelvis from the ol' parts box. The head is on with a piece of dowel and a screw. I'll probably do something different there too, kind of hoping for a LaserMego solution - hint hint.

Wow!! Good Stuff.

Wow Steve! Great idea! Pretty cool what you did to his legs.
