    Brainiac Custom Mego

    I didn't care for the big headed FTC version so I won a damaged custom Brainiac on eBay who's painted face was scratched up. I redid the paint job on his face and had someone help me with the eyes. I reused a suit from the FTC Brainiac and the red metallic pieces on his head. I added lime greens CTVT hands and a Mattel Martian Manhunter bodysuit to match the skin color in his legs and chest. I like how he turned out.

      Great looking custom, nice job on fixing him up, it looks like something Mego would have done, or should have done.

        Much better! I hated the large head and also thought of adding leggings. Looks perfect now.

          Did you have any issues getting the Brainiac suit over top of the Manhunter bodysuit?

                  No, It is a nice material Mattel used. It is a tight fit in the end and would recommend doing it without the head on the body. It adds definition to him also.

                      I forgot, I did cut the sleeves off leaving just the sewn area around the arm so it doesn't fall apart.

                        I got them from a unreliable person from NJ who I will not indorse bc of their standards and practices. Horrible business person and a proven liar
