RAW Materials

[ddgaff1132]

Hey again yunz all. In this ongoing post, I hope to bring items or raw materials to the groups attention. Items I find that that are from outside the normal realms of toy customizing that could aid others in their customizing goals.

First up is a Darth Vader Lawn SPrinkler. Produced in 2004 by Sport-Fun Inc.


As you can see in close up. Its not the best sculpt of Vader. But in my case I'm more interested in the other bits he can provide.


The figure is in awkward pose so its hard to get an exact measure of hieght. I would guess he's 9 plus inches tall. This would make him a more screen accurate version if mounted to a famous covers body. He would tower over Luke & Ben just like in the Movies.


Here's a pic with a mego for scale. If you come across one of these. It might be the answer to someones customizing goal.


Well, Thats it for first item. I'll be adding to this post as I find other items of interest.

Next up is an animated bank. Sorry I was unable to find the manufactorer on this one.

As you see, The figures are slightly larger than Mego scale. C3PO measures about 8 1/5 inches tall.

But I'm hoping with a little judicious cutting, I'l be able to shorting it down to near Mego scale.

Hello All. I hoping to upload all my suggestions for possible part for Mego Customs. So Keep a look out as I update this thread as I find more raw Materials.
This time I'm thinking these would make nice Pose-able wings for Hawkman.

The eagle figure is from Rescue Heroes.



I easily popped apart the body to salvage the wings.

A quick pose with my test Mego shows that the scale could work.

I think I'd shave off the disc of attaching peg, Drill some same size holes in a Mego's back and secure the pegs inside by forcing threaded nuts onto the pegs and securing with Lock-Tite or Super Glue.
So Waddya Think???
