    No idea who this is, but that outfit looks cool, where did you get that?

          Nice job! Fits in well with Conan and Tarzan!

          I'm surprised he doesn't appear to be well known here...he was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs (also the creator or Tarzan) and had a Marvel comics series for a few years back in the 70s with some great Gil Kane art.

                    Another great custom. Really turned out nice. Spot on!

                    Most of the parts look like they came from Doc Mego.

                      Really nice, great detail & packaging. I think ERB & REH could be great untapped resources for custom Mego line "extensions," and your figure is an excellent start that will hopefully inspire more. Kudos!

                        WOW!!!

                        Great job and cool idea for a custom.

                        As a kid in the '70s I was a big fan of the John Carter books and the Marvel
                        Comic. A figure like this would have made an awesome toy.

                            ^ Yeah let's see the back 'cause I don't quite remember myself!

                            There's also other characters down each side from the Marvel sword and sorcery/pulp days...

                              Well done set of customs. Nice to see some variety. These guys are sort of obscure to me as well, but I love seeing them. Nice accessories, and great paint. Thanks for sharing.
