Marvel Famous Covers for custom Mego's

[TheNewGiJoeWithKungFuGrip]

There was a...um...gap in the translations from designer to overseas factory. They were told they were making eight inch figures, but they interpreted that as the bodies would be eight inches tall not including heads, which were made elsewhere. Thus they have the Pittman effect with the pinhead. Doesn't excuse the terrible facial sculpts.

He looks so awesome!

Thanks Dude.

FC Iron Man custom fig size comparison

This pic shows the difference in size between the FC Iron Man custom fig and a regular 8" figure. If I had went with Mego-style boots, the figure would have probably been a little shorter but I wanted to keep the original parts intact.

I think Magneto was one of the best ones. The head sculpt is a perfect Jim Lee and the scale is right on for a Mego.

He looks so awesome!

Marvel Famous Cover Iron Man custom 8" figure

Famous Cover Iron Man custom 8in. 6.jpg

Famous Cover Iron Man customized with FC Dr. Doom body armor on 8" Zica type S body.

There is very little articulation. The head moves and the waist moves. The elbow and knee joints move a little bit, but are restricted by the vinyl body armor.

I've never seen anyone else do this so I thought I'd share.

I like the gloves on Magneto. Were those made from the cape?

Thanks. Yup, they were hand sewn by me...same spandex material as the cape.

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.

Three years later, I say thanks for nothing. And by 'nothing' I mean something. And by 'thanks' I mean GaryPlaysWithDolls.

It doesn't appear as if the paint can be removed from Cap's costume since it goes all the way through the fabric. I decided to just put a Spider-Man Origins CA costume over the top of it. It's bulkier, but the extra suit underneath fills out the loose fabric in the the shoulders and it covers up those awful oversized stars on Cap's costume. I just need to sew it back up now.

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.

I was wondering if you could do neck adapters for the Yvonne figure. That way, we could put Mego Gal heads onto the body without a lot of fuss.

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?

[LonnieFisher]

I think to boil them and pull them off.
