The Lt. Marvels

[scott metzger]

The Lt. Marvel from the hills, one of the 3 other people named Billy Batson who can tap the power of the wizard Shazam if they all speak his name at the same time. Found another use for the Nu Mego Woody figure from Cheers, re-sculpting the hair and painting it appropriately. Woody's modern Mego body from the waist up, classic Mego body from the waist down. Cape clasp is a little disk from some scrapbooking stuff I found with some painted cord. Trim on the cape is folded seam binding glued on.

Good job on him. Good re-use of Woody too...

Nice job. Well done.

The tall Lt. Marvel. The head is from a Primetime Heroes of the Ice Lindros figure (it was a hockey line with horrible bodies but some decent headsculpts) with a new hair sculpt. The body is a mix of modern Mego parts and vintage body with the arms, legs and torso extended a bit to make him taller (he was called "Tall Billy" for a reason). Costume was made the same way as the previous Lt. and the Big Red Cheese himself.

It a looks like the guy who played Shazam on the first season of the tv show, I can’t remember his name though.
both of these look pretty neat, nice work.

The final Lt. Marvel. This Billy Batson is made with a standard Mego fat body and a resculpted Friar Tuck head, with his costume made like the other Lt. Marvels.
