    How many people have done customs of these characters?

    The Bat's thread about how we got interested in customizing made me think of this.

    How many people have made customs of characters MEGO could have or planned to do for existing figure lines? I'm thinking strictly of figures they might have made not unproduced lines of figures.

    I know some of these are "common customs" and these are what I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure I missed some.

    Sulu
    Chekov
    Green Lantern
    The Flash
    Doctor Doom
    Daredevil
    Lex Luthor

    I've made customs of Sulu, Chekov and Doctor Doom.

    What have you made to fill in blank spaces of MEGO lines?

    I have done Green Lantern and a Lex Luthor at one time or another. I wonder if I can find pics of them.

          Sulu - yes
          Chekov - yes
          Green Lantern - yes
          The Flash - yes
          Doctor Doom - yes

          That is about 50% of my custom figures.

            Sulu and Chekov,And then 7-8 months later EMCE anounced a release of them!!!
            After that I was slightly tainted in the custom department and really haven't bought any heads since.

              I still haven't done Lex Luthor, and never finished Doom. But I've made the rest.

                And now you don't have to make a Luthor, Mattel will do it for you.

                  It's true...if I was going to make Lex...I'd be going for the look of the Mattel Version.

                    Green Lantern - almost had mine finished, actually...
                    The Flash - did two styles over the years
                    Doctor Doom - yup
                    Daredevil - yup

                    Sulu - I hadn't yet, but surely would have in time
                    Chekov - see above.

                    Lex Luthor - Honestly? Was never a big lex junkie. Braniac or Bizarro would have come first for me... but I'm absolutely picking up a Mattel version.

                      I bought a custom of GL and Flash from a great customizer but none of the others. i'm not into villians and only started getting original Trek after the repos came out. i still need a kirk.

                              All but Sulu and Chekov. EMCE Toys beat me to it, so I bought 'em.
                              "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
