custom cards and boxes

[creature102]

I'm a graphic designer/ commercial illustrator and I made some cards and boxes. I just wanted to see if they are up to par with you guys. Seeing as I'm a noob to this site I can not post attachments as yet. I have several cards finished and several boxes. I made a creature from the black lagoon on a classic 1979 classic mego style card and a few others. I even made a classic mego style window box for a custom harry and the hendersons figure I'm making. I have a 15" harry but now I want a 8". I would love for you guys to check them out but; I guess it will have to wait. I used alot of photos from original boxes to get the correct wording and placement of everything. I can email some images if interested in looking. thanks everyone for looking.

As a member I think you have access to the User gallery. All you have to do is upload your pics to the user gallery and post the links in your thread so your boxes can be seen. Love to see them!

For instance, this shows my Creature box design. In my case I uploaded it to my own domain but uploaded it to the user gallery will allow you to do the same thing. By pressing the "picture" icon on the message toolbar and pasting in the link to the picture. Or just paste the link to the post and people can click on it.

nice work! these are great! I've been collecting for 20 years of mixed toys and figures. I have alot of the remco creatures and universal monsters but; I noticed no mego creature from the mad series. Thans for the tip I will try and upload the pics asap.

It's always fun to see what styles people come up with. Looking forward to yours.

I uploaded some photos but; they have not been approved as yet.

[mego73]

I am sure they will be approved soon.

[creature102]

I check a few times a day and I'm still waiting for the images to be approved. Do you have a template for captain action aquaman or do you make the repro box?
Also do you know what a captain action complete set would go for in a repro box? I have a chance to get one but; not sure if its a good deal. the repro box its in is not that great.

[mego73]

I've never done Captain Action boxes. About the pictures, drop a line to one of the moderators (like Palitoy) and ask about them to see what has to be done.

thanks! I hit him up asap. thanks again! oh yeah I also just picked up some of the repro 2004 mad monsters and I wanna put them in retro package. I like your boxes but wanted to put them in the kresge still blister and card. do you know where to get the blisters? I've tried to get on the page that has them but; its still down. Do you have any 8" blister for the mego cards or kresge cards?

[mego73]

I do have a limited supply of bubbles for people that order cards. It seems that the person that sells them is not doing it right now (I hear for medical reasons). I do have Kresge version Mad Monster cards.

That is awesome work! Very nice. I was going to try to print out some cards or boxes - Could you please tell me what type of paper I should try to use for each? also is there a certain printer I should try using or buying? that will print them nice and bright but no streaks on them like what happens with office type printer.

Thanks for any help
