    George Reeves Superman Kitbash...

    Can't really call what I do customs...more kitbash than anything else. Had the head for more than a couple of years. Painted by Dave McC. The body is a later style Playing Mantis Action Jackson. I like the Playing Mantis bodies...they have a lot broader upper torso. It is exactly what I was looking for for this custom. Reeves had a bigger/broader upper body than what you would get with just a regular Mego torso. Trying to keep it as close to Mego as possible. Boots will be a pain to cut in the style that Reeves had on. The hands will have to change too...but it will come in time. Belt is from the Hasbro Superman figure that was exclusive to Target way back when. Had to remove the original Mego belt:

    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    - "Isn't It A Pity"
    By George Harrison

          George will always BE Superman! Great work! I honestly can't believe someone hasn't tried to license an actual George Reeves Superman.
