Captain Marvel!!! Tom Tyler style

[thunderbolt]

This guy is the result of the Mrs. and I both getting laid up with the latest flu bug to make the rounds. I was watching the Captain Marvel serial and really got into the costume design. I noticed a slight resemblance between Tom Tyler and Mego's Flash Gordon head and I got rolling. I picked up some cotton-t looking red lycra stretch fabric and been wanting to try it out on something. It didn't look like the boots in the serial were gold, so I improvised a bit and did them mustard color.



And taking out the rotten evil scientist trash.

Thank you T-Bolt. As a Shazam fan, you've made my night with that figure. Yes, the Flash Gordon head works perfectly for that guy. The suit is perfect too. Great figure, awesome interpretation. My favorite figure of your thus far. Terrific job.

Damn Bolt,.. you sure can Multi-task .


JK.... Love the Gauntlets & What you did there,.. the Cape looks outstanding too... I dig the Scene at the last pic... It looks as if Shazam! just stopped a giant caged animal with the Kenal in the Background. Great stuff.

That is one perfect figure. I have that serial also and you nailed the Tom Tyler Captain Marvel. I think this is one of your best figures.

[Meule]

Oh wow, that costume is amazing, that's what I call sewing skills
The cape looks fantastic too, another great job Joe

I think this turned out pretty nice too. The head works perfect IMHO.

Here's alittle 411: in the serial his suit was gray not red. I made a custom years ago with the gray look. It really works.

GREAT STUFF...really nice job pal!

That is freaking AWESOME! Cap is my second-favorite hero (next to Aquaman), & I love the Republic serial. (Tyler's Phantom is fun, too.)

Great head, superb suit, and the boots are a nice touch, which DC Direct echoed in their 13" Shazam! fig. I just think it's wonderful, and nice to Sivana, too.

[thunderbolt]

^^^ Yeah, I dig the Tyler Phantom serial, too. I'm currently studying Commando Cody for a future stab at that guy.

That threadwork is incredible. Just love all the little details.
