After lookin' 'round the supply sites, I'm considering a Dr. Doom 8 in. Think I got an idea for the complete outfit. Just wondering if I should sculpt a head or purchase a custom. Suggestions on cloth hood or sculpt? Any pics and info would be nice.

Famous covers Dr. doom heads would work nicely. I have one if you're interested.

The classic custom route for Doom is to alter an Iron Man head. The formula is still available on the old forums. On a personal note. I'm not fond of the sculpted hood/head. It seems less hassle to just sew the hood. Plus the extra detail of a removable fabric hood just gives the custom more Pizzazz!Comment

I like the head with the sculpted hood that Doc used to offer, and it's not just because I commissioned it.
To me, the sculpted hood is very Mego, and the FC face is a good sculpt that does not ape Iron Man.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Use Ironman with the FC cape. It will stay in the Mego look and it is pretty nice when finished.It's not a doll it's an action figure.Comment

It's possible, too (but expensive) to do a very impressive "Mego" Doom with various pieces of Knight & Tin Man armor.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I added Tim Man thigh armor & arm armor trimmed to gauntlets, as well. I used silver Tin Man hands.
I abandoned the astronaut gloves because, try as I might, I could not match their color/tone to vintage pieces.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Currently I'm trying to avoid 'vintage pieces' in my customs. I'm trying to stick with reproductions whenever possible. For availablity/custom purposes. Should I run into any problems with color matching, I'll just go see DrMego.
My plan here, is to complete a custom with FC head, and get an idea on how I want to sculpt my own head.

Looking through pics of the good Dr. on the web, wouldn't Doc Mego's knight gloves work well for him? I think I'd use Galahad's boots as well.Comment
