Hawkeye: The original ladies man archer!

[Cosmicman]

Well, after some good thought. I decided to sell off my Famous Covers figures. I just love the way they were made but they failed when it came to making those beautiful head sculpts actual body size wise. A lot of them come off like their heads are way too small for their bodies.

But....I am salvaging the best heads and outfits and I have been fixing them to fit the megos I don't have.

My second attempt is Hawkeye. I took his Famous Cover's head and sliced off the bottom of a spare junky mego head and glued it under the head for a perfect fit. After the super glue tried on the rubber head cork it fit perfectly into the mego body. His head turns side to side just like a mego head.
Then, I took the Famous Cover's body and took the suit apart and did a little resizing stitch work to make the suit fit the mego body. It really didn't take much. The suit was almost a perfect fit except for the length.

I corked up the arrow quiver to give him a full pack of arrows look like the mego Green Arrow has.
The boots were really easy. I rolled them up, cut them and used fabric glue and they fit perfect.

Thus, you have a Famous Covers to Megos transition with no problems.

My next one will be the Vision. I am so proud of how this came out that I am planning on a few more before I sell off the bodies. If you are interested in Hawkeye's Famous Cover's body. Goto my sale on in the sales area on this board.

Oh yeah. If you like those jeans on my Logan. Send a PM to member Jessica. She does them real well. The pockets in the front (though you can't see in the picture) are almost real-like.

Cat, I really llove how you did the boots. I'm going to try it, too.

[The Bat]

Nice Job! That's one of the better FC Sculpts, and you did an excellent job of scaling down the Costume. I'd get rid of the Boots though...and replace them with some purple Pirate Boots.

Perfect Hawkeye

He turned out really nice. Good job scaling it down. Me Like.

Cat I think you nailed him spot on man. Looks like you got a great collection going on there as well. Merry Christmas my friend.

Hawkeye is one of my favs from that line. His head sculpt was one of the better ones. Nice to see you put it on a mego sized body!! now he's even better.

Keep watching! I plan to do with several more of these Famous Covers before I sell off their bodies!

I'd agree ~ The purple Pirate boots'll really Mego-ize him which'll make him ROCK standing next to ol' Cap.

What would really be cool would be if someone could make a GA quiver in purple.. for a mid-70s Hawkeye look. Could paint one, but would hate to ruin an expensive piece just for customing. Just thinking out loud.

Nice down-sizing work, Wrath.. I'm working on the same for the Playmates Trek environmental suit myself over the holidays.
