alpha flight

[daz71]

i was thinking about doing alpha flight customs any ideas what to use for a puck body and the indian guy head there is one on ebay but he is masked.

Apache Chief head for Shaman

Muscle body for Puck maybe? Its shorter than 8" (not really by enough though, Puck is pretty short), clothes would tone down the muscles, but has huge feet & hands.

Man, that's a tough one...

There were some bootleg wrestling figures that are He-Man and Remco style but they're about an inch shorter.

I was able to find a photo of one:


The one on the left is a Remco figure. He's about 5.5 inches high (which could work as well and probably easier to find) and the bootleg Hogan figure in the middle is probably 4 to 4.5 inches high. He has the musculature Puck has as well as the small legs and squat physic.

^This is what I'd suggest too. Add a black bodysuit with shortened sleeves/legs. You may be able to add trimmed Mego boots over it.

Excellent suggestion Mr Ghost. IMO I think the Remco would be the best choice, as his legs & boots are the most realistic.

These look like they were 'inspired by' Masters of the Universe, maybe that's another possibility? I could be wrong, I know virtually nothing about MOTU.

(edit-missed the He-Man style comment by Crimson Ghost)

good ideas never thought of those figures for a body.

[daz71]

how do you put a mego head on a bigger or smaller body that is not mego.

You'll need to dremel the existing plug, or add a piece of dowel as a replacement connector for the plug. You can also bulk up too-small plugs with vinyl hair bands or masking tape.

i saw these too[ATTACH=CONFIG]18117[/ATTACH]

the one I posted looks just like Puck in the headsculpt. If you want to go with an unposable wrestler guy I guess that's ok.

i was going to go with this head$_12.JPG i thought a wrestler because he has shorts on .

There was a wcw line out a few years back. I used the Ric Flair figure for puck. The body unscrewed and with the head removed it took a resin cast easily. Trying to find a pic.
