    An introduction...

    Hello Custom Megoheads!
    I just want to take a few minutes to introduce myself. My name is Joel and I've been a LOOOONG time lurker here on your boards. The creativity and camaraderie here are about the best I've seen anywhere on the internet. So kudos to you all!

    Being in my early 30's I got to have many a Mego in the 70's. Loved them. I still recall many hours of playing with Mego Batman & Robin, and Hulk & Spidey (among others...like the Dukes & Boss Hogg, Joker, Catwoman, Batgirl)



    I've been a Super Powers customizer for many years now, along with WWF/WWE Hasbro & Jakks and now Justice League Unlimited. I started a Mego Batman a few years ago, but gave up on him before I finished him. I sold him off in a lot on eBay (one of you might have bought the lot, lol!).



    I guess the new year is making me pick up another new hobby! I purchased 5 bodies from CTVT and 5 heads from one of your great members. Hopefully I'll have some finished works to show soon!

    I see some people making custom costumes (which I plan on getting!!) and I whipped this up tonight to see if I could do it. Could I take this to a Kinkos-type store and get it printed onto some material? Has anyone tried this?



    It's Tattooed Man suit, kinda JLU inspired, but with better tattooes like his comics counterpart. I have a high res version that I want to print off....anyone know how (and where) I'd go about this?

    So again, I'm glad to finally post here, and I'll show my Megos as soon as I get some finished!

    Happy New Year!

    Joel

        I'm not sure you can get it printed in fabric, but I know you can print it out at Kinko's on a thin, leathery rubber.

        oh, and WELCOME! sorry I forgot!

              Welcome Joel! I just checked out some of your recent SP customs that you sold, very nice work! Liked a lot of your work - Metamorpho, the Key, Mr. Freeze (agree that it's a better take than the original), Capt. Cold, Grodd. I thought your Lobo didn't quite fit the SP style but still better than anything I could've pulled off.
              Looking forward to checking out your Mego Tattooed Man when finished!

                          Have a word with Austin ( MegoWGSH ).

                          He makes superb printed costumes and if he can't do it, he might be able to point you in the right direction.
