			<description><![CDATA[I added another western hero to my collection, this is James Drury as the Virginian.  This character had no name on the series, he was just called the Virginian or the Shilo Ranch foreman, this guy was cool.

I got lucky and found a mego John Boy head with the cheek mole removed on ebay.

I painted the hair black using apple barrel paint, it works really well on vinyl heads and dries fast, also painted the eyebrows.

Original mego body, got the maroon red shirt from Dr. Mego, he just happened to have one along with the gun belt and six shooter.

Black pants, black vest and black boots from classic tv toys, the hat was given to me from museum member 
PNGwynne Scott, he saves the day once again.

*Note, for some reason the color of the shirt comes out brighter than it actually is, it&#8217;s darker in person.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[No Man's Land Batman Feedback]]></title>

			<description><![CDATA[I usually wait until I am finished with a project before I post, and sometimes those projects sit, and sit, and sit...

But I was hoping for some feedback on this No Man's Land Batman, inspired more from the McFarlane Platinum NML figure than the comic.

The head is a little wobbly, so I am debating whether to slice off the peg and puts a CTVT Type S neck plug in it, but it depends on how much the wobble bothers me and if I have the stomach to modify a head that I cannot replace.

I am using the original outfit from the FTC Gold Label exclusive, but the short sleeves are hard to hide on a Type S Body; I can stretch them only so far and I am considering going with a black suit and my own emblem, but I like the FTC attached emblems. Using the Type S black body does help. I also added black underwear because the satin ones are badly stretched on the Type S body. I think the belt helps hide the top of it (but's it's not fully in-place yet).

I used the Bat-Winged gloves that came with this for a different Batman project, which is fine because they were too short to hide the short sleeves on the Type S using the original outfit. But I'd like to get some wings on the cuffs/gloves. Any suggestion on the best way to do that? (I need a Power Ring for Alan Scott's hand too. Just saying...)

Otherwise, no matter what suit I use, I still have to attach pegs in the legs to plug in the boots (the legs are just stuck in there to see how it looks) and then sticky the belt in place, since it's a little over-sized, but I like it because it looks like that era's utility belt.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[William Azmodeus Zard, gotta love that name. First, the entertaining backstory. I first read about Wiz in Secret Society of Supervillains. I was in my early teens, and my comic shop had them three for a dollar. The first issue had Captain Cold and Grodd, so I thought it was like the Legion of Doom. Also in that issue was Wizard in a tuxedo and top hat. I thought &quot; Blackstone the Magician is a supervillain?&quot; I didn't know that much about the Golden Age then, so I read about Wizard from that book. Eventually he got a new costume and magical power items. He looked more like a supervillain and less like a stage magician working the midnight show at the Borgata. I much preferred this look to the tux and hat. Eventually he went back to the old look, but this costume returned briefly in 2005 in a JLA storyline. I did his SSSV costume, since I like it better, and if a figure had been done in the 70s, this was the costume he was wearing. I used a Klingon head, and whited out the eyes since Wizard is drawn without pupils. I also darkened around the eyes. The body is classic Trek. Painted the boots red and the hands white. Made the costume out of some scrap cloth I had. The cape is dark green. Looks darker in the picture. The power gem is a picture of the Hope Diamond printed on heavy paper. Since it has an unsavory reputation, I figured it was perfect. Ever since I made Doctor Light with a Klingon head, I've wanted to do Wizard, when I got another head. Can't have enough goateed villains.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[From Joan Crawford's finest film, the story of a woman and the caveman of her dreams. A relic apeman is found in a remote cave in England. Joan plays the anthropologist who studies him. Michael Gough ruins everything for her. I've collected video since the eighties, so I have ALOT of movies on VHS, DVD, and MP4. I had the movie playing while I was putting the finishing touches on. I was thinking the whole time &quot;this movie stinks&quot;, but the character is interesting to try. Made on a Type 2 body. The head is by me, with my attempts at &quot;flocking &quot;. The loincloth is made of terricloth with some fur glued on. The boots are made of brown cloth, with more fur glued on. Glued some fur on the wrists and the back of the hands. Put fur on the shoulders and chest. The face(if you call it that) isn't exact, but it still looks like a cool throwback. With the Taurean, Bigfoot, and Monster on Campus, I have a primeval furry 4 pack.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Since I did the Star Trek Taurean, and I've been using fake fur for a couple of customs, this seemed the next logical step. Aside from Mego for me, nothing said the seventies like Bigfoot.  From documentaries,  Boggy Creek, In Search Of, and The Six Million Dollar Man,  Bigfoot was popular. Mego could have done a line of generic figures like Bigfoot,  Mothman, and a local for me, The Jersey Devil. A missed opportunity.  Like the Taurean, used another Cowardly Lion body. Just cut the chest fur a little.  Did some painting on the toenails.  Made the head myself using fake fur. Tried to model it on the CTVT Sasquatch head. Put him in a picture with his Far East cousin the Yeti.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I know what you're thinking. That just looks like a regular classic Gorn. What gives? Well, I did say mild. First as always, the backstory. Like everyone else here, I had alot of the Trek Megos as a kid. When I got into this, it was mainly to reassemble all the figures I lost over time, since alot of repros were out. Over ten years ago when Diamond re released the Treks, I bought the aliens that were released, but I never had, like the Romulan and Mugato(lousy distribution back in the day). They did a Gorn, but &quot;improved &quot; it to look more accurate. I wanted to replace the classic one, so this didn't work for me. Since the repro Lizard figures were out now, and it's the &quot;cheapest &quot; of the Spidey set on Ebay, I was going to get a spare one for the head, to repaint. I then found an original head for only a couple bucks more, so I got that. The Klingon figures are still cheap, and I found a Type One with a complete outfit and belt for a great price. The customization comes in with me painting the hands and arms brown, and swapping heads. All I have to do is eventually get the red phaser and communicator. All vintage except for the paint job. The only Trek figure I need now is Neptunian, and only the Great Bird of the Galaxy knows when I'll get him. After over forty years, I have my Gorn back. Cost a little over $40 versus over $100 for loose ones.]]></description>

			<description>I wanted to add another custom to my westerns collection, this is Bat Masterson from the tv show starring Gene Barry.  I used a classic tv toys Bruce head, along with the characters black pinstripe jacket and pants, white dress shirt and western style black neck tie, along with a purple cowboy vest and short black level boots. I got the six shooter gun belt and short black level boots from Dr. Mego. The classic tv toys Evel Knievel cane and black bowler hat that fits perfectly on the Bruce head, which tops it off.</description>

			<description><![CDATA[From the episode Galileo 7. In my opinion the ultimate Spock episode.  A test of his command abilities,  where he's found wanting. The shuttlecraft Galileo is stranded on an alien world and under attack by hostile natives.  To a Trek fan boy (like me), I think it's a perfect &quot;in universe&quot; reason for Spock never really wanting a command of his own, and despite his abilities,  being content with being Kirk's first officer. With every decision he makes, their situation just seems to get worse.  There's even a scene where the crew is under attack, and Spock at first just rambles about how illogical the situation is ,sounding almost like a nervous breakdown. After this experience,  he must have realized that full time command wasn't for him. Sure in Wrath of Khan, he's the captain of the Enterprise,  but it's a training ship. As soon as actual combat seems possible,  he's content to turn command back to Kirk. Even after Kirk is broken back to captain in Voyage Home, Spock returns to being first officer. Spock didn't really make his mark on history until he left Starfleet, and became an ambassador ( unless you count the whole dying and rising from the grave thing).  I made the head and used fake fur for the hair and beard. The shield is cardboard wrapped in brown cloth, with real twigs glued on. The spear is a twig, with a pointed landscape stone glued on for the tip. Living in the woods, there's lots of that stuff laying around.  The stitching on the shield is black electrical tape. The body is from a NuMego Cowardly Lion. In a picture with Spock. Not to scale obviously. My first Trek Custom.]]></description>

To a Trek fan boy (like me), I think it's a perfect &quot;in universe&quot; reason for Spock never really wanting a command of his own, and despite his abilities,  being content with being Kirk's first officer. With every decision he makes, their situation just seems to get worse.  There's even a scene where the crew is under attack, and Spock at first just rambles about how illogical the situation is ,sounding almost like a nervous breakdown. After this experience,  he must have realized that full time command wasn't for him. Sure in Wrath of Khan, he's the captain of the Enterprise,  but it's a training ship. As soon as actual combat seems possible,  he's content to turn command back to Kirk. Even after Kirk is broken back to captain in Voyage Home, Spock returns to being first officer. Spock didn't really make his mark on history until he left Starfleet, and became an ambassador ( unless you count the whole dying and rising from the grave thing).  I made the head and used fake fur for the hair and beard. The shield is cardboard wrapped in brown cloth, with real twigs glued on. The spear is a twig, with a pointed landscape stone glued on for the tip. Living in the woods, there's lots of that stuff laying around.  The stitching on the shield is black electrical tape. The body is from a NuMego Cowardly Lion. In a picture with Spock. Not to scale obviously. My first Trek Custom.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[As the title says, it's this handsome fellow. From the 1958 movie of the same name. A college professor named Donald Blake ( not THAT guy), gets a Coelacanth (rediscovered in 1938) preserved with gamma radiation,  and due to circumstances beyond his control discovers that the radioactive blood can reverse the evolutionary process. At the end of the movie he experiments on himself,  and since all Troglodytes/ Neanderthals are homicidal maniacs, chaos ensues. I've been having fun with faux fur, and this guy is perfect for it. In some old posts, members wanted NuMego to make this character in their horror line, so I wanted to see what I could do. At the end of the movie,  he wears a plaid shirt,  so the Screaming Werewolf figure was a perfect body. I just made the head and axe, and added some fur. Can't imagine anything scarier than the Missing Link chasing a person, swinging an axe. Enjoy.]]></description>
