    torso: from a wrestler figure which i 've carved in order to make it cave like a mego one
    Pelvis : carved from a polyetilene plug shaped as a type one
    Legs : upper part from a dc's direct figure, ankles and feet mego
    Arms: forearms and right hand mego, left hand barbie's, the rest comes from the dc's direct figures. wrist bands plastic from a doll body
    belt :action man' s adapted
    All muscled with milliput and stringed as a type one..bodysuit lycras hand sewn

    I always loved that costume for Wonder Man. He was one of my faves during that 1976-1977 era of AVENGERS. If I was going to do custom Marvel characters he would be on top of the list.

    GREAT job!

      Very cool Al.... I made one of those a while back,.. & thats the costume I rolled with too.

      That always Puzzled me about the character,.. His 1st Suit was so cool,.. & then they changed it..

        GREAT job!
        DITTO.. I left a comment on your pic in the Gallery, but I had plans to do an easy Famous Covers custom (using a Vision suit..) with this outfit choice just after getting my YellowJacket done, still in my Gallery pics, but had other things pop up.

        It's my favorite outfit of his, and it's got that COOL Retro style to it..!

        BRAVO!

          You always do great work, Albert, but this is one of your finest!

          Admittedly, this Avengers fan is little biased, but this is a really great version.

                    I remember making a Wonder Man "custom" back in the 70s. It was a Bruce Wayne (RC Batman) wearing Green Arrow's costume, an Iron Man belt (somehow I had two), Superman's boots, and Astronaut's helmet. When he wasn't on a mission with Thor, he would also wear Thor's wristbands.
