I was looking forward to the Mego Headless Horseman, but outside of the initial Target release, availability for anything else (Shazam?) has been spotty.
My Wal-Mart had some Lord of the Rings characters sadly peg warming, though. While looking at the Halloween decorations, I realized maybe I could customize a Headless Horsemen from Viggo.
To make a cloak, I picked up a cheap fright mask from Dollar General that had black fabric backing. The fabric had a seam, so I didn't have to worry about any sewing or gluing. I cut a small hole in the seam's end and put the neck peg through it.
Once I settled on the face design I wanted for my characterization, I experimented with cutting the Jack O'Lantern features in with an X-Acto. I ended up just pressing into the soft foam with a fine line Sharpie.
It needed a pop of color, though. Luckily, I found a small, green paper clip that I wrapped around the stem to evoke a vine.
I hope you enjoy! I put the Aragorn head on eBay, if anyone wants to customize a Jesus Mego, LOL
