    PS: I guess part of that would also depend on which head you used as your base to build Lucius on: If you used a head from an 8" figure, then you'd want to use something closer to that height, because you probably wouldn't want the head to look/be oversized.

      Aboro! That's great. I'm going to have to think about how to make his outfit.

          Very true.

            I was thinking a Lion Rock/CTVT Teen body as well. I like Mego customs to be on variants of Mego-style bodies.

            I've always wanted a Lucius and Julius, keep up the good work.
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              I've reworked my Julius a few times. The 2007 is wearing an outfit made by Jessica.

                Hmm. The tights for 2023 and 2024 are the same. I guess the camera flash 'discolored' the tights for the 2024.

                    I think the difference in height between Batman & Robin in Lonnie's picture in this thread: https://megomuseum.com/community/for...-sidekick-body would be an acceptable height difference for Lucius compared to the others. Others views may vary of course...

                          Thank you. Interestingly I don’t collect. The fun for me is creating and making these figures/customs and taking photos of them. I will sew, paint, sculpt and will love every moment especially if it is associated with Planet of the Apes.

                          1:6 boots for Mathilda, 1:1 Romulan Commander outfit, Ursus helmet; Cornelius appliance
