    World's Greatest Boxers - The Heavyweights!

    This has been a dream line for me. While everyone else was dreaming of more Marvel mego's I was over here wishing Mego's Muhammad Ali line would extend to include the greats. And here my dream becomes a reality.

    Joining Mego's Ali and Kenny Norton are now Smokin' Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Iron Mike Tyson.

    The bodies are obviously extra Ali bodies (with Norton used for Tyson for the darker skin tone).

    The heads are Slade for Foreman (paints by me), Jakks Rocky Frazier fig enlarged by Austin (paints by me) and the BBP Tyson head with the ugly tattoo removed. The Tyson head was too big so it fits the 9 inch body perfectly but cutting the neck plug off.

    At Mego Meet I commissioned the great Brian Leitner for the trunks and robes and as you can see he knocked it out of the park. They fit very well next to Ali's.

    And our good friend Paul (Laser Mego) provided the sticker decals to accent the robe/trunks. IE: Tyson's famous patches, back of the robes and Foreman's classic "GF" on his trunks. He even proved different size options to choice from because he's just that damn good.

    And the final thank you goes to my buddy Rob T for helping me score the Norton I needed for Tyson and bringing him to Mego Meet to avoid the crazy shipping costs.

    Thanks to all who helped. I love these guys and even more so I love that this was truly a community effort in helping these dream figures become a reality.

    So without further ado......

        These are neat, I really like what you did, now all you need is Sugar Ray Leonard, and Marvin Hagler to join the group.
