Dino, that is very nice. Well done. Merry Xmas to you.

awesome, love the simple toy look to your figures and the classic style sculpts.

Thanks guys!
bleit1701 is all over my style.
I so want my custom megos to go well with the originals*.

I will always love the 'T-Bolt ruff-and-tuff style'!

*Although some originals need to be re-designed.

Merry Holidays, one and all. Dino/dr_cyclops

Very well done!!! I need to check out that Friendly Felt!

[dr_cyclops]

This outfit accessory really worked beyond my expectations. bleit1701 was spot-on with his advice to always try ideas even when you don't think they will work. There were times I was sure this Friendly-Felt costume accessory was going to fail. I was wrong.
Sewing the split back accessory to each side of the bodysuit back split, and adding a snap to the back of the belt, pulled everthing together.
I like Friendly-Felt for certain costume effects. When you need a material that has body and holds it's shape.

Should I add the square white belt buckle? If so, suggestions?

Nice job.

Very nice. That head looks great. With a little re-work it would also make a cool Titans animated Beast Boy.

I searched and searched Google Images and only found one pic with the belt buckle.
All the rest of the pics had no buckle.

I don't think you need it.

Thanks, that's just what I wanted to hear. No buckle it is! Art is always knowing when to stop.

Very vivid and well-designed-he's Mego-riffic! (Can I copyright that word lol?)

I would omit a buckle as well. One question: Doesn't he have black trunks? Did you decide to simplify the design to use the felt more effectively, or is this an earlier version in keeping with your head sculpts?

That is a really great looking Super Skrull!!! Color me impressed!!! That felt looks like it works most excellently!

It's the original costume design from his first apperance. Goin for a early to mid-sixties Marvel look here. Like if Mego had made them in the 60s during the original Marvel-Mania.
