    The Secret of Bigfoot

    With the quarantine in place I decided to finish up on some custom projects that are long overdue. I'm in the creative phase right now and with some idle time on my hands I might as well take advantage of it and get back in gear to building Mego-esque characters.

    Here are my versions of the Steve Austin and Bigfoot from the "Secret of Bigfoot" episode. Very straight forward and was not a fan of the BifBangPow! versions that were commercially released so I wanted to do more of a tweak that was too my liking. Enjoy!


    Steve Austin:
    • Head: BionicJoe and my paints
    • Body: Castaway/Zica Type S with flesh and clear parts.
    • Outfit: BBP re-purposed.

    Bigfoot:
    • Head: BBP re-purposed
    • Body: Original Mego 9" body. BBP re-purposed hands. Modified original Mego 12" feet with sculpted hair and paints by me.
    • Outfit: Handmade by me utilizing brown fur material from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

          Nice work on both. That Steve Austin head is great, and you did a terrific job painting it.

            WOW that really did turn out great. The first thing I did was take out that padded stomach, never will understand why they had to include that.

                  Very Nice. I wish that Mego would have made a Six Million Dollar Man figure. Great Job.
