    My Custom Jungle Chief

    For the original thread this idea started on:
    Can anyone post a good image of the Supervator's Jungle Chief card? I can see he's a sort of were-leopard or cheetah; I was wondering about the detailing. Thank you!


    He's on my list to make. I'm thinking he's maybe some sort of "Evil Phantom" type of character,
    and maybe his suit could be a reflection of that?
    Here's a mockup of what I think he would look like, the mask of course would have the cat ears, and would be open faced to show his eyes nose and mouth
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/ygvab5vhme...ros_mockup.png
    My where has the time gone? lol

    I began this with an idea way back in 2016. SMH. Now its 2022, and I finally have finished him, the last part for him feel literally into my hands
    yesterday, 06-11-2022, and I can call him done.

    My take on the character "Jungle Chief" the unknown villain on the SuperVator Playset.
    A rouge version of the Phantom, who controls the cartel in the South African Jungle.
    He can be a bad guy for Tarzan or Captain America or whoever finds themselves globetrotting overseas to stop crime!

    Built using he following parts:

    Biff Bang Pow Phantom Limb Head
    One of my FrankenMego bodies ( a Type 2 with LJN Swivel Arms, right Hand is a CTVT Gun ( gripper) hand, left is a LJN Swat hand)
    Suit is a Mustard yellow CastAWay Bodysuit
    Shorts and Boots from CTVT
    Castaway silver 45
    Belt and Knife and Ammo Pack all acquired from the DFW GI Joe & Action figure toy show yesterday, completing the build.
    Paints ( Head and suit) by yours truly.

    Looking back in the mockups I came with, I decide to marry the two designs, make a "less is more" stance with the spotting, and insure I could
    actually finish this one in my lifetime. lol

    I'm very happy how he turned out, from idea and discussion to fruition.Thanks for looking!

    Wow I like how this turned out. A great Jungle villain for Mego Tarzan or Action Jackson (Jungle Adventure) or ReMego Phantom.

        I was never really familiar with Jungle Chief, I thought he was more like a Leopard king type with claws, but I like how this came out.

        I agree he would make a good arch villain for Tarzan-Phantom-A.J. or even Jet Jungle.

                I like him! Nice work making him your own, and moving away from the human/cheetah/leopard hybrid.

                He kind of reminds me a bit of the Menagerie Man from the Super Friends comic, who was also inspired by The Phantom.



                Someone at DC apparently thought he looked TOO much like The Phantom, and redesigned him for his next appearance.

                  Thanks Chris! The ideas on this one just kinda fell that way...I could have went more like the Supervator Card, but since the character is
                  one of those "mysteries only time knows the answer to", I decided to stick with the name and come up with my own interpretation.
                  And seeing how a lot of heroes in the original line up where short on villains ( Tarzan, AJ and one of my favorites, Captain America)
                  the ideas started leaning towards that way.

                  Ha! And I totally forgot about Menagerie Man, an evil Bwanna Beast / Phantom pastiche from the SF comics. (slaps forehead)
                  I have that run buried in a long box somewhere in the comic book room, I'll have to dig it out.
