What would be your most un-likely Mego custom

[ddgaff1132]

Tops for me:

Clash of the Titans (or Generic Mythical Greek/Roman Heroes)


-Dave

Wow. This hit me like a hammer. A public domain subject matter that comics even covered yet could'nt sue over. Mego missed this idea. Hard to believe since they did most PD charectors you could think of. And these were like the first "Superheros".

[The Bat]

Good thread...
Gangsters (30's style, with Pinstripe suites and "Tommy" 30 caliber machine guns)

-Dave

EXCELLENT call Dave!! I'd love to see Jimmy Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, John Garfield, "The Dead End Kids"!!!!

[aquatroy]

Retro Mr. Clean with capri pants and ... whatever those shoes are.


Captain Tootsie. Did this character years ago and would love to take another crack at him.


Volto of Mars! mmmm Grape Nuts

[aquatroy]

and of coarse ...

THE AQUABATS!

[HardyGirl]

Shaun Cassidy only b/c I have 2 of them. (Kenner!)

[bobws]

Doctor Who - all the Doctors and all the companions at least!
Battlestar Galactica - original series
M.A.S.H. - alot of khaki but variants would be fun
Barney Miller - oh yes!
Bearcats! - yes there's only 2 figures. i am gonna have to do these now!
V - the series
Bond, James Bond - and all the ladies. the girl band Bond would be cool too
too many 60's and 70's cartoons to mention
my own comic book characters - but of course , i'm working on those now!

[ddgaff1132]

!!!NEW!!! For 1976....
Mego Presents....

The Members of the Supreme Court!!!

Aaahhhhhmmmmmm Nope!

[Tothiro]

Hmm... excluding Marvel and DC characters, and the usual Logan's Run and Star Wars selections...

Terry & The Pirates
Tintin
The Saint
Tron
Alley Oop
Hellboy (obviously for me)
Lupin 3rd
Nausicaa
Herculoids
Madman (I want an IT Girl)
MadMax (pre knowing he was an idiot... now I would have to sell them all)
Concrete (Paul Chadwick... C'mon - that'd be cool sculpted "hulk style")
Appleseed (for a Deunan and a 9" Briareos)
Frank Whale Bride of Frankenstien
Thundercats
The Marquis
Fantastic Voyage (*ruthlessly obscure much?)
Alien
Firefly
7th Voyage of Sinbad
Evil Dead 2
5th Element
Legend Of Zelda
Resident Evil (I'd have a Leon Kennedy preference)
Twin Peaks
John Henry (part of the folk hero collection)
Er... Neverending Story?
... wow I just couldn't green-light any of these. Well except maybe Herculoids/Thundercats

Plus - just as a warning - if anyone suggests any Kristy McNichol vehicle I'm calling them out as a troll.

Originally from the title I thought this thread would be about our most inconceivably improbable completed custom... in which case I was going to say it was a tie between my Uncle Ben Serpentor and my Senator Strom Thurmond.

[EDIT]
I forgot US Presidents

[EDIT DOS]
Oh - and Buckaroo Bonzai

[MarkStalcup]

I was bored one snowy day, had spare parts, and so made Orgazmo, Choda Boy and the Evil Henchman from the movie "Orgazmo" by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the guys behind "South Park." That was a messed up, funny movie and I blame the entire set of customs on having a white bodysuit that got a neon pink highlighter stain on it, as well as the fact the Western Heroes guy looks like that porno actor Ron Jeremy, who is in the movie as the Evil Henchman.

[Mego Milk]

Dr. Mego.

[trekercollecter]

GODZRIA U DUMMY!

[megowgsh]

I've always wanted to do Dick Tracy and his villains.

There's just so many Marvel and DC characters I want to do first, though

[ScottA]

I've always wanted to do Dick Tracy and his villains.

These actually sound like a cool line. Very do-able I think.

[stuart]

How about a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame series? Mick Jagger/David Bowie/A Lion Rock Body for Prince?

[palitoy]

For me it would be anything Mego already did, I'm easily satisfied. I know a lot of people love to fix Captain America and Batman which produces some stunning results, I just can't get motivated to do it.

I can barely finish the 7 or 8 mego customs I have on my plate right now.
