    Looking for Ghostbusters Customs

    After scouring the internet this is the best place that could help me.

    I have only a couple Mego figures, and recently bought the Retro Action Ghostbusters which I really like. I know they are not officially "Mego" but they are pretty much the same style.

    I think I'm more partial to Filmation's Ghostbusters (anyone remember them) and would love two ghost characters in Mego style - Prime Evil and Mysteria.

    I'm not at all a sculptor, so I'm not going to attempt that - or making the costumes. I was going to buy bodies for the customization, using the 1997 Toy Biz Marvel Famous Covers dolls. I liked the bodies a bit more, but I read that they are a little bigger than Mego. So I wanted to ask here if anyone has any ideas, opinions, and interest in making the characters for me. I'm not sure how much that would cost, I found one head sculptor charging hundreds of dollars so I don't even know what a decent custom job costs.

    Any help would be great. Thanks :D

    Prime Evil is the guy in the robes and Mysteria is a Morticia type.

    The DVD was $4...

        Filmation's ghostbusters is actually a spinoff of the original live action show!
        actually you could take the heads from the released line and blow them up, and Prime Evil's robes are easy to make from modified CTVT clothing....

          Yes, Prime Evil was the main villain in the red robes. Mysteria is at the bottom. The original figures from the 80's are going for a bit of money now.

          The head for the original Prime Evil was fine, but Mysteria was rubber so that they could root some hair in the back while the top and sides of the hair were sculpted - but the face on her figure looked way off and weird.

          Also I have photos on my Flickr page Ghostbusters
