    Jet Jungle

    Here is my final version of one of my favourite figures..... Jet Jungle.
    Unlike most customs he is 100% all Mego including the head!

    Apologies for the pictures not being the right way up!!!

            I like it! Love that you made it out of all Mego parts, is that a batman head repainted?

              I wanted this to be as close to the real thing as possible. Both the head and body are in fact what was once a Mystery Astronaut, so there has been no head transplants etc. The Mystery Astronaut was in very good condition and the body/joints look like new!


              Also as the head is that of a Mystery Astronaut, then just like the original JJ, there is no writing at all on the back of the neck.

              The only other head that may pull this off would be a Bruce Wayne secret identity, but they are also like gold dust! I suppose that a RC head would also do it, but you would still be left with the writing on the neck.

              The only "non-mego" part is the JJ emblem.

                    Many congratulations on one hell of a job Joseph. I think your's takes it. The paint job to both hair and those "dreaded" eye brows is 100% spot on. FABULOUS work. Dare I say it, but it could easily pass as an original.
