Building a better body for THE PENGUIN!!!

[CKMBDavis]

Very well done! I immediately recognized the use of the Jakks wrestling figures parts as I have a ton myself, left over from my wrestling figure customizing days. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Ahhh, nice. Always worth a second look.

Looks fantastic!

Hope you post follow ups on your batmobile and other cool projects you had on the go!

Did it ever get finished? I'd like to see an update.

This is actually a pretty old custom figure (created back in 2003).

What this thread covers is the RE-VISIT of this custom action figure when I decided to build him this more poseable body (back in 2009).

When he's dressed he looks exactly like this:

Excellent work sir!!

Hows the female body you were concocting working out??

She worked out really well! Thanks for asking! "She" (Batgirl, Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman) is still sitting around nude since I have been un-able to get her clothing finished yet. But I'm, gettin' there.

Like a lot of folks, I took a MAJOR hit last year in terms of income, and it really slowed down my customizing. But I'm trying to ramp things back up.

This is awesome and the progress photos were simply wonderful. There should be Mego Customization for Dummies books or something. Lots of pictures..lol...I kid you not. It makes me feel like I could never in a million years do anything that cool, but would love to try it! My hats off to you kind sir!

Thanks so much!

With all of the amazing in-progress photos of MEGO customizations that have been published on this message board over the years, a picture book is definitely something that should / could happen!

I have totally forgotten about the extensive work that happened to this body.
