    Mandrake the Magician

    New Custom: Mandrake the Magician is my second attempt at customizing. I'm no sculptor, but I'm getting the hang of repurposing. He is built from a Type 1 1971 Mego body, with a vintage 1971 Action Jackson head (and new mustache). The suit consists of a repro white shirt with cut tie, Grampa Munster coat/cape, black Clark Kent suit paints and Penguin shoes. The top hat is a cake topper for weddings.

      Nice! I like it! He could also double for DC's Zatara, the Magician, their thinly-veiled copy of Mandrake.

            I like that a lot, plus I think it's the first Mandrake custom I've ever seen, which is cool.

                Nice, I find the type 1 body suits him. Like he was an early release from '73.

                    Thank you! Don't know why that won't work yet.

                      Well done, it's good seeing customs of characters not made before.
