Custom of the Week - 6/18/2012 - Mego Meet 2012 edition

[EMCE Hammer]

One of the highlights of Mego Meet has become the custom kitbash contest. Sharing the spotlight this week are Sean Gordy - aka legend of link aka Chad Gordy 2.0; and Jim Hampton aka megojim. For those of you who don't know how this works, the participants start foraging for parts on Friday evening. Thread and paint aside, the ingredients for each figure must be from the dealers/traders at Mego Meet. At the end of the day Saturday, the esteemed judges (Random Axe Pierce and Megospidey Combs) picked two winners in the adult and kids categories. Sean made Hellboy; Jim the Wolfman.







Great job guys - these will be tough to top next year!

Congrats! Awesome customs.

FYI the recipe went as follows: Wolfman 7" figure, cobbled head forearms and legs just below the knees. Doc mego muscle/hulk body, sawed off forearms and lower legs with pocketknife saw, knew that thing would come in handy one day. Pinned an glued new body together attached head to a resin plug. Hair/ fur compliments of our own Dorthy from Wizard of Oz. Pants, real heroes firefighter; Shirt, GI joe or other 12" jumpsuit, Vest, not sure some brown, closed collar shirt. Thanks to chad and Sean for the use of their glue, chris dvm for the super dremel when mine crapped out. Also thanks to the judges, youR check is in the mail
