      A few (probably dumb) questions from a non customizer...

      The only way I can picture this is very funny looking... with the head reduced to an 8" scale, everything else would be way out of proportion... how could I address the body, belt, boxing gloves, robe and shorts?

      Mego Ali just wouldn't be Mego Ali without that plush satin robe with his name embrodered on the back... not to mention all his other accessories.
      Off the top of my head...I'm sure the boxing gloves could be shrunk down as well to fit in place of 8" hands...a buffer body could be put together utilizing some parts from Customslab. As far as apparel, maybe someone like Brian Lietner could tackle the robe and shorts convincingly.
      Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!

        WOW! Are you ever right UOBob! Nice box!!! I have the original Ali with all of his accessories, but no box, so he's been hard to pose. That box would make him a very proud edition to any collection. Well done!

          Um... Wouldn't it be easier to Upsize/downsize a superman to match Ali instead, especially considering all the different sized Mego versions? Just a thought
