    New Megos @ $9.74 each, who are you gonna buy for Customs?

    Just thought I'd start a discussion thread as I know I can't be the only one thinking this:

    Now that the 2018 Megos from Wave 1 ( and Wave 2 if you can find them) are at $9.74 price point,
    who are you going to pick up to make Customs?

    I picked up the following and here's my thoughts on who they can be custom made into:

    Peggy ( from Married with Children)

      Peg dyed blue is a great idea for Mystique

        Heck I am thinking Peg might make a good Joan Crawford for my ongoing Batman 66 line extension. Now who would Joan play on Batman?

          Poison Ivy for Giganta. Have no idea if I'll be able to make a passable outfit, but I ordered some leopard print fabric anyway. Good thing is it can have a "ripped" look, it doesn't have to be neat.

              You could have Joan as the Black Widow but the would of Bette Davis would strangle you in your sleep.

                Black Widow's already cast Tallulah Bankhead. I'd rather put Joan in a new role. Maybe Cheetah? Not in a body suit but cheetah coat etc?

                  I'm going to include Samantha, because she can also be picked up right now for $9.74. I plan to use her for a Sue Storm custom.

                    Went to my Target today and found no 8-inchers from wave 2, and everything was marked original price. I could've picked up Sulu and asked to match online, but was too disappointed to bother.

                      Most of the characters I want to make are teen superheroes. Until we get a teen body, I'll stick to buying vintage, for customs.

                        Trek and Monsters are the only ones I'm not going to use for customs. The rest are all to make other custom figs with.

                            The thread was started back in October when they were on sale for that price. That sale is over.

                              I'm gonna use Kris from Charlies Angels for a Yeoman Rand. Anyone know where to get a red dress or do I have to wait for regular Uhura to show up? Thanks
