        The action figure in my photo. It's a custom Mego of Ronnie LaRocque.

            Whatever. I still think it's a cool looking figure. I thought it would be nice to share here, but oh well.

              Well, I asked a serious question, and you gave an answer like you think I'm stupid or something. Thanks for that...

                it'd go over better if you explained who this is, no one will recognize this person.

                    LonnieFisher, I did not mean to answer in a way that hurt your feelings. Ronnie LaRocque is a character I created... I collect action figures and recently got into making customs, but rather than always make customs of existing characters I sometimes try to come up with my own. Ronnie is sort of a harmless town drunk type figure one would always see roaming the streets of their small town. A real character who has had a tough life, but is good person when people get to know him.

                    I posted the photo here in the hopes of getting an honest response/reaction to how the figure looks. I think back to the first time I saw He-Man in a 1981 toy commercial. I had no idea who He-Man was at the time, but I still thought he looked cool.

                      I'm curious about the figure's head, is it 3D printed? I've wondered about that technique.

                        The head looks like one from http://www.myfaceonafigure.com/purchaseheads.aspx.

                          Yes, I purchased the head from them, using my friend's image as the template and together we came up with this character. We purchased the body and clothes from CTVT and, once it was all put together, we thought he turned out pretty good. I'm very new at customizing so I don't have any special skills or techniques yet, but I'm trying to learn and would like to do more when time allows. I was unaware of the protocol for posting ReMego figures, so if I post another custom in the future I will be sure to explain how it was created and, if it's an imagined character, I will provide some backstory on him.
