    Luthor "Contest"

    Who has a suggestion for Most Megoesque custom Lex Luthor?

    (I'm planning a figure and want ideas. And bald Thor is OUT--he's Brainiac. So is bald Conan--I'm saving him for Mr. Freeze.)

    I'm leaning towards using Austin's Gene Hackman shrink, but I figure this is a figure many of you have done and brainstorming is good.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    I am using a bald Trag I got from Reproheads I too wanted to use a different head then just the normal bald Thor and Conan. Of course at the rate I am going you will be done with yours before I finish mine.

      Russ has a Kevin Spacey Head as Lex...I can't think of a better one than that!

      Love to see a Micheal Rosenbaum one though....I'd buy that in a split second!!

                  I found a Mini bust of Spacey. It appears to be a promo from "BEST BUY." I think thats what was on the box. I trashed it as soon as I got home and was pleased to find the scale darn close to MEGO. The head/ neck is just glued on a square peg at the torso. The only negitive is his expression, Kinda placid for a villian.

                          What about a shrunken Mightor head?

                          Like the one I made for the Mego Meet exclusive.

                            I'd love to see that shrink, Austin. I thought Mightor's head was an enlarged Thor lol!

                            Bald Mr. F sounds cool as well, Anthony, but I'm using Reed for Two face & I hate to "repeat" too much. Still, I'll check Leitner's site, thanks!

                              I appreciate the input, guys.
