			<description><![CDATA[After my love for 8 inch Mego super heroes, I think my next favorite thing right now is the Big Figs classic DC super heroes. Last year, I completed my custom Aquaman and this past weekend I finished up my Green Arrow. My goal is to always use as much original Jakks Big Fig parts as possible. This started out as a Link from Zelda with a Green Lantern head (repainted blonde.) His beard is a portion of Link&#8217;s sideburns and his hood is from a Big Figs Star Wars Mud Trooper. His quiver is from a 13&#8221; DC Direct figure; I found the arrows at Goodwill which I think are from some type of outdoor game. His bow is from a modern rack toy. I went with black pants as Link&#8217;s pants are kind of baggy and I thought the black would de-emphasize that (vs. using the lighter green.) Not perfect, but I like him. Still need to get him a box/package to fit in with the JLA. Next up (I hope) will be the Martian Manhunter (got some ideas for that.)

			<description><![CDATA[I had the originals when I was a kid, and I have two sets of the reproductions from 2005. Of course the repros have never been touched, and I've read about how fragile they are, and I don't think twenty years has done them any favors. I wanted some loose ones, but the prices on originals and repros are too prohibitive for that. With this in mind, I've tried making customs as close as I can. I've put my own spin on them, but I think they're decent. For Dracula,  I used a Trek body with ideas from Tomb of Dracula and Hammer. I made the cape collar like the TOD one. I dressed him in all black like the Hammer Drac. On the face, I tried doing a mustache like TOD. I then added a little chin beard. The red &quot;triangle&quot; under the neck is supposed to represent a ascot. I even gave him a Dracula &quot;crest&quot; on the right chest. For Frankenstein, I used another Trek body. I gave him a long black coat like the Hammer one. I made his shirt out of a mustard colored fabric.  In certain light, it looks gold. I made a waist chain out of paperclips. I glued pieces of the clips on his forehead for the electrodes. I also gave him painted gold cuffs. For the mummy, I wrapped him in the same fabric I used for Frankenstein 's shirt. I put on strips of white to try to suggest the pattern on the original bodysuit.  I gave him an Egyptian collar and silver cuffs made from painted vinyl. The Wolfman was all CTVT parts. A brown body, fur bodysuit,  and wolf feet. I got the head from CTVT too. I think I got the last one. I just made some tattered blood stained clothes. I have a group shot atop the hamper of doom.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've seen this referred to in articles and videos.  The company that distributed Mego in Italy put out an advertisement picture of Action Jackson with a Bruce Wayne head. Those articles say it was never made, but I thought a Bruce Wayne Action Jackson looked good.  I used a type two Trek body. Painted the boots white. I got a Bruce head from CTVT and popped it on. I made the jumpsuit with cloth that looked the same color.  Printed the logo on heavy paper and glued it on. I have a NuMego AJ, and this makes a nice &quot;variant&quot;.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my custom of Star Trek character Gary Mitchell from the original series episode, Where no Man has gone before.

I used a classic tv toys 66 Batman Dick Grayson head, dotted the pupils silver with a toothpick, but looks like most of the eyes ended up silver anyway.   I might decide to just paint the whole eye silver? Original mego Star Trek body, Classic toys black pants, playmates shirt altered to fit the 8 inch mego&#8217;s.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Baron Frankenstein takes over an insane asylum for his experiments. Starring Cushing and Prowse before they were Tarkin and Vader. The difference is that this creature was not created. He was a throwback apeman who got a brain transplant. I wasn't planning on doing this character. A little over a week ago, I posted a Daredevil custom that I used a Famous Covers head for. That left me with a headless misshapen body. Rather than leaving it laying on the table, I wanted to find a use for it. I thought a monster could be made with it. This character came to mind. I know that it's more bulky in the movies, but the body is kind of apelike, and the left hand is made for pummelin' and the right for stranglin'. I used a liberal application of fake fur. I made the head and tattered pants. I also used pieces of a paperclip to try to suggest surgical staples on his dome. These bodies really are good, if only they weren't so distorted.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In honor of the villains in the new series Lanterns. The Guardians first attempt at space cops. Being mechanical,  they were more interested in punishment than justice. The renegade guardian Krona further interfered with their programming,  resulting in the genocide of sector 666. They had their origins in 1940s issues of Adventure Comics when Simon and Kirby revamped the Paul Kirk character giving him a red and blue costume.  Fast forward to the seventies and Kirby redid the character for First Issue Special 1. Idealistic lawyer Mark Shaw wants to dispense with that due process stuff, so he becomes the agent of the Manhunter cult. Steve Engelhart and Dick Dillin tied the Manhunters to the Lanterns in a two part Justice League story. They frame Hal Jordan for destroying a planet. In the Millennium series they menace Earth and get beaten like a drum by the League and the Lantern Corps. I loved this series.  Couldn't wait for each weekly issue. Since then groups of them have shown up over the years allying with the Sinestro Corps, and Hank Henshaw. Made on a classic Trek body. Boots and hands painted.  Made the head. I used a bluish more robotic looking face I found on the net. Makes it look more mechanical and alien (artistic license). The chest stripes, gauntlets and boot cuffs are blue vinyl.  The ray gun is from CTVT.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is one I've been wanting to do forever.  It has to be in the Mego want Holy Triumvirant with Dr Doom and Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider. The 3D heads are around,  and I think I could have done the costume,  but I could never figure out the clubs. In recent weeks I've been looking at figures I've had put away for years.  Among them were several Famous Covers, including Daredevil. Just this Friday, I was looking on Ebay to see if they had the Diamond Daredevil.  They didn't,  but they had a ton of the Famous Covers Daredevil.  I've read how customizers have used FC parts before. Inspiration hit like a bolt from the blue. I ordered one that was on sale for $13 (free shipping) as a replacement, then dug out mine from storage, cracked it open, and got to work. It's a Trek body special. I painted the eyes black, then attached the head with the &quot;technique &quot; I've described in my Pez head Hulk post. The bodysuit already fit pretty well. The pants were just a little long. The DD is made of pleather and was flaking a little. Just colored it with a red sharpie. Had to cut the belt a little to make it fit snug. Painted the hands and boots. If you have WAWAs around you, you know they have red re usable shopping bags. Used material from that for the glove and boot cuffs. Of course I kept the clubs and pouch that came with it. Part custom, part kitbash. I may get a 3D head later, but this puts Calamine lotion on this itch. As an aside, I have to say that even though the FC figures were very badly designed, they were built well. I really like the bodysuit,  and would recommend it to anyone wanting a Daredevil custom. I was pleasantly surprised it turned out this well. The body construction of FC reminds me of newer bodies,  with the swivel biceps. They're heavy plastic and have the feel of NuMego bodies. If only they didn't look like they were designed by an impressionist painter. It's a good feeling to find out you can do a new figure with parts you already have.]]></description>

Batman, Superman, Steel, Kid Flash, Green Lantern John Stewart, Mr. Terrific, Cyborg, Bayou Jack

Timothy Jace Fox....Batman (New York)


Val-Zod....Superman (DCnU Earth 2)


I will never understand why Mcfarlane didn't release these two versions instead of multiple costumes.  

I am working on a version of Nubia and Vixen next.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a little something I was fooling around with. I've seen old posts on how to attach Pez heads to Megos. I also know Laser Mego has an adapter for Type S bodies where you have to open the chest. I have a simple very low tech way for other bodies. I've already done Ant Man, Black Panther and a couple Star Wars using the Pez heads on, yes, Trek bodies. I saw this Hulk Pez on Amazon, and the color was a perfect match for CTVT deluxe green muscle body. The head's a little big, but I think it looks good for what it is. I have pics to illustrate. If any one's posted  about this way, I apologize. You take a strip of cardboard, fold it in the middle, then wrap rubber bands around each end to create two bulbs. Vary the thickness of the bands to get the desired width. You'll have to experiment.  I used green bands on one end to blend a little better. You'll have to widen the hole on the CTVT body since they're small. When you get the thickness push and wiggle one end into the head, then the other into the hole. The bands will expand a little, holding everything snug. The head can still turn. I didn't sand the back or anything since, unless you're planning to sell it, when it's on a shelf, who cares? The pants were made from a piece of some old purple gym shorts I had. Just want to say, the CTVT deluxe greens are really good.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Months ago, I did a Mego style of Lincoln's upcoming 3.75 Reaper( it's my avatar). At the time, I also saw their Ghostly Spectre, but haven't gotten to it until now.  I recently got a small lot of Trek figures(yay), so I had an extra body to do it. Painted the boots and hands white. My supermarket had a sale on a pack of white T-shirts. I cut up one for the shroud and the robe. The face was easy since there is none. Overall,  a pretty easy custom. Just have to keep it clean. Put it in a Pic with my Reaper. Apologies to Lincoln Monsters,  but customization is the sincerest form of flattery.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lurks in the shadows, hides in the park, Simon, Simon, Simon Dark.If you're good he'll stay away. If you're bad he'll make you pay. Part of a Gotham nursery rhyme, that's where the character gets his name. Created by Steve Niles and Scott Hampton.  There's an evil magical cult in Gotham(of course). One of the members with medical knowledge creates Simon from parts of twenty teenage boys. Simon becomes the protector of a section of Gotham called the village.  He works against the cult, and crime in general.  He has Frankenstein super strength and Wolverine healing. He can also shapeshift his face to look like any of the boys he's made from, to blend in temporarily. Later from reading the cult's mystical books, he gains the ability to work magic. I wanted to bridge the two genres that made Mego famous, horror and comics.  Made from, you guessed it, a Trek body. I did the head. In the comics, his face looks like Leatherface's mask. I couldn't do that look, but I tried to make it crusty looking. Made the overcoat. The buttons are from a bead set, painted gold. The shirt is red material. I drew the lines with a Sharpie. I kept the Trek pants, since they're black and blended in.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Here is my mego custom of the Star Trek character Ruk, from the episode, What are Little Girls made of?
played by Ted Cassidy, Lurch from the Adams Family.

Custom painted head sculpt, original mego body, custom made clothes, the moccasins are from classic tv toys.
I might paint the moccasins light grey or pink, I have to check the episode to see.

Custom art window box from the Toyroom.

I am very happy about how this came out, it&#8217;s one of my favorites, from a very cool episode.]]></description>
