Dumbest custom you've ever done or attempted...

[PNGwynne]

I did a mostly kitbashed Cavalier (c-list Batman foe, but I dig him).

Actually he turned out great--but most people think he's lame.

I once did a Woozie Winks figure to accompany a Plasticman I repaired for Huedell. I've never seen or done another one. It was a surprise gift. I think it went well but it was Woozie Winks for goodness sakes

[almitysufx]

So, what was the figure that brought about this thread Sandy??? Come on, out with it.

[PNGwynne]

^The straw-skimmer hat for Woozy would be great for your Prankster, though.

[almitysufx]

Yeah, I think the hat could have found a few uses, but it was a one time deal, I didn't do a mold for it. I found a pic of him though

Of course it's ^^^ wonderful tho....by the time I die, I hope to upgrade
the hands to "chubby" hands.

Ed,

I figured someone would call me out. Honestly, this thread kind of came about because of the way my Halloween custom figure adventure turned out. Not so much in the way that actual figures came out themselves, but the way the whole idea of giving away custom megos to trick or treaters was received by the kids. Like my original post indicates, it proved to be SO much cooler conceptually... I gotta be honest; It kinda threw me for a loop and messed me up for a few days. I mean, I put a lot of time, effort and money that I really couldn't afford to spend, into the figures and not ONE kid seemed to appreciate it. It was a bummer night for me, topped off by the little kid who reached back into the bag and gave it back to me, stating that he couldn't take it because it wasn't individually wrapped...

My son would have hit your house up a couple times for halloween megos LOL. The dumbest custom I ever did was a green torso, arm with an ape hand, a Ponch Zombie head, some sort of black bodysuit with white mesh around the neck area, a samurai belt with skirt, a cape I made out of a work glove, and boots. I put it in a lot on ebay with some parts cause it was so crazy and some dude from Illinois bought it then complained that some of the stuff was not original mego so he opened a case against me and I just refunded 75% of his money and let him keep it all. Then a couple months later I see this stupid looking Ponch on ebay with a buy it now for like 20 some bucks and I LMAO. Maybe someone here saw it too. That was the dumbest custom I ever made.

HAW! That's too much! Great idea with the figures though.

I got a few in the works I wouldn't call stuipd, but they've sort of escaped me:

-Pulsar's STUPID HEAD HINGE ISN'T WORKING!!!!
-I haven't worked out the bellows system for my Mego scale Destroid's rocket pods
-haven't worked out the Galactor armour/bodysuit
-haven't done decent shoulderpads for my Rifts Cyberknight

'Course; it seems like my stupider customs always end up being my best:

A truly MAD monster.... - Mego Talk

I've made some doozies...and still do, but the one that comes to mind is my fisherman figure. He was to be an Aquaman villain, but I tend to like running these characters through a "me" filter before I build them, and in this case I made him into a Relic (from the Beachcombers tv series) like drunken hobo with a bone to pick against Aquaman. He didnt look bad, but wasnt my best idea. I never showed it, but I also made him an armored diving suit with missile launchers and working claw arms. That made him a bit more respectable, but not much more

I noticed the other day he was missing off the shelf....I figure the cat knocked him off, as he is prone to climb on the shelves. He probably fell in the trash can and ended up being put out with the garbage. A fitting fate!
