Tomland Star Radiers

[scott metzger]

Sadly, unless I find some different heads, original (and likely WAY out of my price range) or some more repros, Coth is the last figure I have a usable head for, and I'm just waiting on a new Mego Franky for the glow-in-the-dark body to go with that GITD head. Anyone know of a place that has any such repro heads that Dr. Mego doesn't already carry? I mean, I do have the head for Zing, but...that head looks like a five year old made it in his sleep. I think even Charlee Flatt would be hard pressed to make him look anything but...hilarious. The sculpts varied a lot with those figures; the ones I got save for Zing all have good, solid sculpt work. They have a nice "B" movie vibe and well executed details. Some of the others, though...not so much, which might explain why I didn't get those over the years.

Wow those turned out great. You are going make me start up and do those as well.

I think Dr. Mego has recasts of most, if not all, of these heads.

The only ones he doesn't offer are the Bootleg-Star Wars. I have the Darth Vader & Chewie but haven't had the chance (or money) to have them recast.

Dr.Mego has a repro of the Dagon head?

[scott metzger]

No, Dagon is missing. He has Yeti/Tago, Cyclops/Ridal, Fly/Oov, Yog, Morlock/Bico, Alien head with horns/Zhor.

Thanks for clearing that up and listing the heads with both names.

While cleaning and straightening, I found another Tomland head, a glow version of Bico, so I got basically the same pieces from CTVT and Doc Mego, just some pieces in different colors to individualize him. Used a new Mego glow body. Also realized I never got around to posting pics of the other glow guy, Coth. Another new Mego glow body.

Got the pieces to put together the last Tomland redo I can do for now (unless I happen across another head I've forgotten about, and that seems unlikely at the moment), so Zing is joining the alien crowd. Orange bodysuit from Doc Mego, boots and trunks from CTVT, hands from an Ideal Zeroid (they actually fit into the wrists without a lot of tweaking):

Wow another great redo!! This lineup is fun.

Finally found some repros of some of the Tomland heads I was missing. Updated Ah, who borrows the hands from a Marvel Legends Beast:

Finally getting back around to these. Udpated Rot with a repro head on a modern black Mego body. The lower legs are small glue sticks.

Cool reworking of Ah's body, and glue sticks!!! Out of this world meltastic!

Which one are you missing, Scott? This fellow on EBay is selling some recast...I bought this Yick recast from him (I also bought his last Dral recast).

THanks! I think that's actually one of the people I got some of the missing heads from (great minds think alike, eh?) The only one I know I'm missing now is the "I'm Not Chewbacca, Honest!" head.
