    The Six Million Dollar Man with Bionic Arm action



    My first Mego custom in 4 years!





    Modified Fonzie body. Lever only raises right arm.



    Fonzie hand works great for bionic grip like action.



    - Head by Bionic Joe, painted by me. (hair looks darker than it is in the white background shots)
    - Body is all original Mego, except for Castaway shoulders/biceps for swivel arm action.
    - CTVT Jefferson Darcy track suit, dyed red
    - Hand painted Action Jackson shoes
    - Emblem scanned straight from the Kenner 12" figure shirt. Printed on cloth, and given a sticker backing.

    Special thanks to Mego73 for allowing me to use his bionics graphic for my bionic arm, and to RussG for the AJ shoe donation! You guys rock!

                That's a painted resin head? Looks like a factory made plastic head.

                  Bionic Joe casts them in a special soft resin, and looks just like a rotocast head. The color also matches a Mego body well, so you don't need to paint it, other than the eyes, hair and eyebrows. Even in person, looking at it close up, you would think it was rotocast. The dude is seriously on to something.

                        I used Fonzie's hand for Two-Face's coin-flip, but this is so much cooler!

                            Absolutely great! You might actually force me to reconsider my hate of action features!
