    Katy Perry - WHA?!?! She's NOT a Super Hero !!

    Sorry , but when Shellhead showed me HIS Wonder Woman I KNEW
    that I was going to have to rejoin the MEGO collecting world if only
    to do terrible things to her - namely using her to create one of my
    favorite music babes .



    Yeah , I'm WAAAAAY too old to be listening to Katy Perry , let alone
    start work on creating a tiny action girl version of her . . . I blame it
    on my years as a penciller on AC Comics' " Femforce " .

    At this point I have merely restyled her hair , which I gotta throw out
    some kudos to the folks at Mattel - the nice thick root job was adequate
    enough that changing her from a center line part to a left part was actually
    really simple ; and gather together her costuming from some BRATZ dolls
    and shoes from Barbie Basics . I'll be doing a repaint on her face , just to
    give her a bit more of that classic " Katy " look .



    Usually when it comes to ruining a perfectly good action figure I stick to the
    realm of 1/6 ( all my MEGOS are practically untouched , except for my POTA
    gorillas ) . The new Wonder Woman however was enough of a great base
    figure to work with that now I'm sorry I did not order more .

    Feel free to BAN me now . . . I have been a Baaaad boy . . .

    That is outstanding, Brad. I'd like to see some more of your Mego-scale custom skills.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Too old to listen to Katy? Okay, Methuselah... If you're too old for fun and witty (and cute too) then so be it.

      Nice custom.

                    Thank You All for such a warm welcome !

                    Probably a year or so ago I posted a thread at the Triad Toys Forums concerning the distance between collectors of 1/6 and 1/8 - since from what I had seen other than the size difference both communities seem to share similar enthusiasms . I suppose , judging from the response to that thread ; size DOES matter . Ah well .

                    Anyway , TODAY I completed my FIRST repaint of a Mego head - transforming Wonder Woman into Katy Perry . Boy I sure had FUN ! I hope you like her !

                      "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
