    My Favorite All time Mego.......

    For some reason this guy loves flying around the house...Yet, My cat "lucky" has a problem catching him (too fast in the air).
    This Mego has been with me for over 36 years (2 years ago i began using another head, That's the current head you see in the pics), I've had him since i was 8 yrs old. Helped out alot when i had nightmares as a Kid.....Now my kids love him as much as i did/still do.
    Most of the time we fly him in the park (we get a kick at the positive reaction of the folks that can't figure out how we do it ). However, when my kids fly him in the the house (Whisk him over my head)...I look up towards him and say "I love You Man" Superman, That is. "Greatest Superhero in the world"!!!
    Please be advised Aerial pictures are not Photoshop trickery.....Action figure is really in the air....Warning: If you're afraid of heights, Do not view any further.
    Suit and Boots are original MegoType 2 Superman Costume, the belt and cape were made by Brian Leitner. Head is a Russ (Chris Reeve head, Painted by Dave McCormick)...That i shaved a little of the top with dremel tool.






    That's my Ultimate Bowflex in the Background......

    The Gorn can't believe that "A Man can Fly".....

    Hi Chekov...

    RIP Chris Reeve....

                    Outdoors, the Invisible string i use is Virtually............INVISIBLE!!! I love to see peoples reaction when my kids and i fly him in the NY Botanical Gardens here in the Bronx. We fly him from one end of a beautiful lake to the other.....I'll try and video tape it, Looks so real (especially the cape flailing in the air...Pure Magic). To me there's always been a Beauty and Grace to see Superman fly in Movies,Cartoons and even in the Comics.....Man I Really Love It.

                    This is one of my favorite shots....Looks so COOL!!! Look Ma no Strings....

                      Super pics for a Superman! A real tribute to Christopher Reeves (RIP). I used to go to the NY Botanical Gardens on school field trips when I was a kid, and I know I would gotten a kick outta seeing Superman fly!

                      'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                      Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                      If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                          Now that is pretty cool
                          Capt. Kirk: "Is there anyone on this ship, who even remotely, looks like Satan?"
                          Mr. Spock: "I am not aware of anyone who fits that description, Captain"
                          Capt. Kirk: "No, Mr. Spock, I didn't think you would be"

                            That's awesome!

                            He can flying around your room to helping Megos and saying hello to them.

                            I know the secret thing is the fishing string that holding the Superman *shhh!!*

                            Your Superman is very lucky, the cat can't catch him.

                            Great job on your custom Superman!
