    The Iron Hand

    Finally got back around to some Megos, this time an old and obscure one. The Iron Hand, an old enemy of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, who made a short re-appearance in Justice League of America in the early 70's. Uses a re-done modern Mego head from the Impractical Jokers Joe Gatto:

    I was unfamiliar with the character, but I really like the look of this one! He looks great in your diorama.

    And judging from the pics I've found, he is pretty darn comic accurate as well...

        That's one of the main pics I used for reference. There aren't many panels with him in the three issues of JLA where he appeared in that costume.

                Very nice work on him. He looks like the comic image for sure...

                          Actually used the same head for Felix Faust, too. Never got the IP figures for themselves, but there be custom fodder there...

                              If we're doing obscure, how about Scorch (Scotty Fischer?) Originally appearing in the '80s Doom Patrol comics where he didn't have a superhero identity (minus the fan-submitted name "Blaze"), he later reappeared in the New 52 with the name "Scorch" during the Forever Evil event. There, he dies from Atomica bursting one of his arteries open... but unfortunately, we do not see her inside him (because that would have been very dark.) I understand why, but as an endo fan, I wanted to see inside. Don't worry; even though he may look youthful, I'm pretty sure he's 16 (the legal age of consent in NJ.)
