    Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree Empire


    and don't really care for the high cut briefs so I went with more of a squared off look.
    Always been more partial to the Gil Kane redesign as opposed to what came a little later from Starlin. It had a Silver Age feel to it, so I went with that look. Hasbro Aquaman head repainted and masked, Hasbro Batman boots with ultra thin craft foam for the tops. Costuming and hot glue Marvel Comics corner box power effect all me.

          WHen I clicked on the thread I thought you'd made the green version, but this is very cool. I don't really remember him looking like this as I think my first intro to the character is Starlin. Very nice silverish age vibe going on. The passive aggressive power effects look sharp. Good use of the Aquaman head. The mask is perfect.
          I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

          If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

            I did the green and white version a while back, after seeing the Gil Kane covers I wanted to give this version a go.

                My God, Thunderbolt. Each custom you make is better than the last. You are on frakin' fire. This figure is pure artistry.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  Great custom! That power effect worked out really well. Very creative idea.
