    that's because Doc Ock is a Hasbro sculpt for the 9 inch line and for the most part they got the scale right.

      Thanks T-Bolt. I was under the impression that the loose figure I used the tentacles from, was a FC Doc Ock. I was not aware of the Hasbro "Spiderman Origins" line.

        Origins/Signature are FC's done exactly right.

        Silver Age Spidey, Goblin, Ock, Sandman, DD, Cap, Punisher, Wolverine and Mr Fantastic, plus Spidey variants. All are great figures. I planned on gutting most for CustoMego, but they are really sharp on their own. Especially Goblin.

          and it was the first time since Mego we got heroes from the big two on the same body.

            Shame, Famous Covers could have been awesome. I like 'em, but I also like them cheap.

            Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

              I know! You never charge enough. Oh Gary, I have completed the custom FC Doom heads: Neck-Plug version (No hood) and the sculpted hood w/ neck-plug. Thank you! Just need to pour the sillicone molds, and see where it goes from there.

                Some of the clothes work fine. I've used the Hawkeye clothes, on a DM body with Brian Leitners head and the result is very nice. I used repro mego weapons instead of the FC ones though.
                It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                  Alright, I'm going to a pick upload this week of FC figures in regard to scale, size, proportions. Anything specifically wanted, let me know.

                    Does the Spider-man Signature series Punisher head work on a Mego body?

                      It might be a little on the big side.

                        I have few Siganture series. I'll include them.

                        And yeah, Sig heads are either too long or too wide, as is.

                          What is the best way to remove the heads from FC figures?

                            I think to boil them and pull them off.

                              Got it. 30 seconds in boiling water and they pull right off. Thanks. Is there a way to remove the over-sized star from the front of Cap's costume?

                                Heat up some water to boiling (or just very hot), submerge the head for awhile (30 seconds or so) and then pull it off the body.

                                I sell some FC head to Type-S body adapters here if you are interested.
