    Image needed: Mego Supervator "Jungle Chief" card

    Can anyone post a good image of the Supervator's Jungle Chief card?

    I can see he's a sort of were-leopard or cheetah; I was wondering about the detailing.

    Thank you!

      Here's an image I found just by Googling:
      and your right, it isn't the best:

      He's on my list to make. I'm thinking he's maybe some sort of "Evil Phantom" type of character,
      and maybe his suit could be a reflection of that?
      Here's a mockup of what I think he would look like, the mask of course would have the cat ears, and would be open faced to show his eyes nose and mouth

        ^Thanks, I've examined that pic, too. I've wondered what the inspiration was, to cause Mego to create a new foe for a secondary playset?

        He has a OMBC/western clawed necklace but seems half leopard/cheetah. I like your idea of an evil Phantom, maybe a Tarzan enemy--if it's a costume, maybe a white man taking advantage of the Africans.

          My guess is that Maybe they didn't think Cheetah would appeal to boys who was the primary "sell to" of the WGSH, so they decide to change the sex of the character?
          I've always wondered why they didn't just sub him out for say the Lizard...The Card set already had Joker, Penguin, Mxy, Riddler and the Green Goblin....Lizard would have been a natural fit.

          That's kinda of where I was going with it...A Mashup of Kraven the Hunter / Evil Phantom, that helps Drug / Diamond Smugglers run illegal contraband
          through the Congo. A great foe for Tarzan, or even Capt. America ( if America's interests abroad were being affected).
