    Mike and Ike: NOT the candy, but a couple of Goons that like to mess with Luke Cage

    Mike and Ike are a couple of goons in the employ of Cornell Cottonmouth and they love to mess with Luke Cage aka Power Man. What they don't like is the fact that Cage usually gets the best of them. They made their first appearance in Luke Cage, Power Man #19 pencils by George Tuska and inks Vince Coletta.







    Mike is built on a Mike Tyson body with gold medallion and clothes from CTVT dyed the appropriate colors; Mike Tyson head cast and painted by me. (See what I did there? )



    Ike is cobbled together with a CTVT muscle upper body and Mego T2 legs with clothes from CTVT; head is a cast of a 9" JLA Martian Manhunter head re-sculpted and painted by yours truly.



    Luke Cage getting ready to take out the trash...

    I hope you enjoy my quirky choices for customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!
