    Space Spectre!!!!

    So, I've been wanting to make a Space Ghost for years as I love the character in all his iterations.
    And he's mostly finished, at least until I replace his sticker power band buttons with sculpted ones.

    Which left me with no option but to make his nemesis: Space Spectre!!!

    He was introduced in the 1980-81 variety series which featured 13 Space Ghost segments. Much like Faker was the negative color scheme of He–Man, he is meant to be the inverse color spectrum of Space Ghost.

    I used a sculpted head from an old forum user who sells them on eBay under the moniker 2nd2lastmohican that I painted myself, an old Dr Mego jumpsuit, and plastic sculpting tape for the arm bands. I tend to tweak my customs over time, when finances and opportunity afford it.

    I am trying to stick with a Mego-enough scheme for these, eschewing more accurate pieces for reused parts because I like when they look like they come from the same line. As I kid, I loved that about Mego, and it's why I coveted them for years before finally being able to afford to one.

        Anyone else not able to see them?

        Sorry that the second one is sooo blurry. I was uploading from a mobile device and clicked the wrong one:/

            Just a guess but is the pic stored on your computer? Might be why you can access them and no one else. I wanna see this too.
            It's not a doll it's an action figure.

              Sorry everyone. They were uploaded from the mobile device (I was away from my computer) and didn't correctly connect in the posting.
              Everything is fixed now, I hope they don't disappoint. Well, Spectre is very early stages, but staged for the hell of it.

                Nice work. I always hope someone will make an official Space Ghost Mego-style line. There's a ton of potential in it. Granted, I'd want a few of the harder to make villains like Zorak too, but most of the guys could be made with standard issue stuff.

                  Gotta have Zorak. And the SG Coast to Coast set. That way he can interview all your other figures.

                        Update to the Spectre

                        So, I updated Spectre with the CTVT gauntlets to better match Space Ghost's.

                        I used the plastic self sealing repair tape to turn one of the arrow closure belts into a socket style.

                        Next up is the stickers. I am going to try and print some fabric stickers and see how they work as opposed to the paper style Space Ghost sports now.
                        I keep mulling over the buttons for the power bands in my head. I know I am over thinking it, but I try to be patient, hoping the right idea will come to me.
