    Mr. Tawky Tawny

    The original Captain Marvel's buddy, Mr. Tawky Tawny. There's a Ponch face under the tiger somewhere (you can see his eyes, but that's about it). Regular vintage body with newly sculpted hands and feet. The tail is material and bendable. He will eventually have a cane with my next order from Classic TV Toys.

      Great job! Anthony Mac had a Tawky Tawny he made using the vintage werewolf head for the base.

          Yes, that would have made a whole lot more sense as a base than Ponch (he said, closing his eyes and slapping his forehead, making the Homer Simpson "Doh!!" sound)...

            Cool. Nice headsculpt too. I won't mention the Pez tiger head from Kung Fu Panda I have that intended to do this but of course didn't get around to.

                Another good candidate I missed. And here I figured I wasn't going to find a tiger head in this scale.

                  This is great. You really sculpt well, capturing character.

                  Like Megotastrophe, I recall a nice Tawny custom here many years go by Abmac that used a repainted Human Wolfman head, but of course he's growling. I've thought about doing one for a long while with that, a Jimmy Olsen sportcoat, Mugato body and Lion paw-shoes.
                  WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                    That is so good. I love the tail and the look on his face.

                          Looks perfect. You might have taken the long road to get the sculpt, but it worked perfectly.
