    Rambo, Mego style.

    As soon as I got a couple of the newer bandless mego bodies in hand...I knew it had to be done.

    Fun fact: When the company Coleco first released their Rambo figures line, they accidentally made the heads a bit too large. Later on the sizes would be corrected.
    The larger heads size pretty ok to Megos. Specially the newer bodies.

    Head + knife: Coleco Rambo
    body: Mego Shazam
    outfit + rifle : CTVT

    And here he is wearing the M65 jacket that originally came with the Diamond select Punisher set.
    I truly WISH classictvtoys would release one, or mego could release one... the possibilities are endless...

              The final image in the jacket... that is totally how I think of Rambo. Bravo!

                  I'd love to get 2 or 3 more of the jacket. Would love to do a Travis Bickle.

                      Saw this on facebook and stole the idea today with my own. Great idea.

                              So not only does this look great but you've opened some possibilities for other customs. The Rambo line has great head sculpts that include ninjas and more importantly people of colour!

                                      The figure looks great. Nice job. I like the idea of the Travis Bickle figure. Bickel is my last name so any figure with that last name would be awesome.

                                          Just have to make sure thy are the first run heads. Coleco did go back and rerelease the figures with properly sized heads.
                                          Luckily its obvious which are which.

                                              Man, this is sharp. Love the use of the vintage head. That gives it a real "What If" feel. The execution is great!

                                                  That turned out great - nicely done.
