    Ultraman is coming to mego meet

    So I've wanted a mego Ultraman for years, I've tried to do one in the past and had little luck. Now that I have started to work on some silk screened suits again I figured I'd give him another try. I hoped someone was casting a copy of the Popy head but ended up sculpting one myself. this suit is just a quick printed suit but I plan to make a screen and do a nice silk screened version in the next week or so. If everything turns out well I'll have a few at the meet for sale

    Dude this is awesome! I did a run of Popy copies ten years ago
    but the suit printing was a disaster.

      Nice. And you can get silver Battle Japan gloves from Doc Mego to round it out.

        YES YES YES! Finally get to see a US mego-esque version. Well done!

        Ed, are you planning on putting them on a clear Type S body?

                A peel-free Popy?!?! This is awesome. I have been sitting on a head for years that I chopped off an old blow-mold figure. I could never print or fabric paint a suit that didn't look horrible.

                I'll save a spot on my shelf beside my other Nagys.

                      Oh, what lovely news! Probably the only phrase that could make me happier is, "Scott, you've just won the lottery."

                      Ultraman looks great, BTW.

                        Great work, Ed! Always wanted that Popy. The head sculpt looks terrific, too!

                        Wish I was going to MegoMeet so I can try and get one! Any way I can get a copy of the head?
                        "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."
