    That 70's Bro

    Luke Cage AKA Power Man in his 70's outfit. I really liked this character in the New Avengers. I came accross some cheep wrestler figures that I was going to use for Luke's arms, then I found that the CTVT shirt (dyed yellow)would not fit those arms. So, I used some of Doc Mego's swivel arms (painted brown) along with Doc's boots, body (with a resin chest) and wrist bands. I made the pants and added a craft store chain. The head is from Toy Fanatic's site. I added the headband and poofed up the fro' then painted it.
    Now all I need is Iron Fist!

      Well done, would have been a great Mego to see in the 70's.

        Loved Luke Cage, Hero for Hire when I was a kid. That is a great looking figure.

            That is an absolutely terrific figure. Everything pops on it. I had every issue of Powerman and Iron Fist, so I'm a major fan. You did an awesome job on this.
            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

              Really great job! It always amazes me when I see figures like this with really well done eyes. Your hands must be rock-steady when you paint!

                        Outstanding! I've loved this character since I was introduced to him years ago. You've really nailed the 70's style in Mego form! Love it!

                              THAT is an absolutely PERFECT Mego Luke Cage. Well done! Great work! I would buy that off the shelf in a heartbeat! Love your paints and you completely nailed his look with the updates to the head. Excellent execution.
