MUSCLE UP my MEGOs?

[plaztekman]

I found this Wonder Man custom by Random Axe in a previous custom posts.

What's the process for bulking up Megos? What other action figures are used?

I found this info in CustoMego, but not sure of all that's involved.

I think everyone has a little different recipe for beefing up the bodies (other than a complete custom body). The Jakks arms look awesome, but because of the much larger biceps, the figure is in permanent open-arm stance. The He-man torso is almost the exact same height as a Mego torso so it fits well, but you will have to decide whether to use it with a T1 pelvis or cut up a an old CTVT torso for the bottom ball. Either way just experiment with it and see what works for you.

Thanks for the input. I guess I'm getting out my dremel and to go "frankenstein" on thrift store figures.

I made my own. It was a major pain.

Boss, it looks like a lot of work went into the body and it definitely paid off...Great work sir!!!

It's a mashup of parts from mego, castaway, Flattworld, and Jakks.

I modified them to fit together and sculpted addional muscles where needed (mostly arms and legs).
