    Kimota!! It's MarvelMan!!!

    The British knockoff Captain Marvel. This started out as a golden age version, then I decided the head looked a lot more like the Warrior revival from the late 80's.

    No idea who he is but I love the costume...

    What did you use for the black stripes along his ribcage??
    "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

    In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

        Paul, the black trim is that plastic bead cord from Wally World.

            Looks cool, but I wasn't aware of a third Captain Marvel. Nice colours.

              Sorry, should have gave some reference. The poor character's locked up in legal battles between Mcfarlane and Niel Gaiman right now.

              The pics in the link have a different belt, but his costume went thru quite a few design changes, so I picked what bits I liked.

                  Sweeeet stuff T-Bolt!

                  Short synopsis: Fawcett's Captain Marvel was originally reprinted in England in the 50s but somewhere along the way (because of the lawsuit by National maybe?) they had to stop using the Captain Marvel name and he became Marvelman in the reprints. When he was revived in the 80s, Marvel Comics forced the name change and he became Miracleman.

                        Incredible figure. I have been working on a Miracleman figure too. I started reading it when it was Miracleman so thats how I remember him.

                          Terrific custom! I really like the detail on the collar and chest.
