    In all truth, I am just "getting into" the sewing aspect of it all. My girlfriend has trained me well. With tough materials like that, I usually use a thimble to poke it through. If it is too tough, the fabric glue comes in handy. Just sucks the first two minutes where you gotta press the material together tight to get the fabric glue to "bite".

        Oh, he's lovely! Superb! I love that headsculpt!

        The costume is sweet, and those boots must have been a right ***** to make out of leather.

        Is he from a Japanese cartoon or comic?

        I think he'd make a nice boyfriend for Tigra from the Avengers.

              He's from 70's live action Japanese TV.
              After sleeping with Skrull Hank Pym I hear the Tigra is keeping a low profile.

                  Well, even women have moments when common sense goes flying out the window.

                  Did the character have a tail? I never got a chance to watch a lot of Japanese stuff as a kid, due to the fact that there was no such thing as paid cable back in the 70's.

                  Is the program on DVD? If so, where can I get my greedy paws on it?

                  Are you planning on making more of those heads? You should, they are great!

                  Oooh! Could you make a King Thun, The Lion Man from the Flash Gordon cartoon?

                    My wife says that all the time.

                    Did the character have a tail? I never got a chance to watch a lot of Japanese stuff as a kid, due to the fact that there was no such thing as paid cable back in the 70's.
                    No tail. He did have a motorcycle that he could "transform" into a jet propelled super bike. I tried to find a 1/9 scale 70's Kawaski to use as a prop with the figure, but had no luck.
                    I discovered the character at a concert. The band was showing clips from 70's Japanese TV while they played. Saw the Tiger 7 clip, did some digging around and walla!

                    Is the program on DVD? If so, where can I get my greedy paws on it?
                    You can get DVD's here:

                    Henshin Video

                    go to the "human sized heroes" page and scroll down to Iron Man TIGER SEVEN. Paul has lots of good stuff, including the Japanese Spider-Man.

                    Are you planning on making more of those heads? You should, they are great!
                    Thanks! I'm not planning to sell that particular head. When I initially posted images of the head I had a lot of request from customizers that wanted to use it for Tawky Tawny. I just couldn't allow that.

                    Oooh! Could you make a King Thun, The Lion Man from the Flash Gordon cartoon?
                    AH MAN! I LOVE FILMATION FLASH GORDON! Mego bodies are perfect for that series.
                    I'll get around to that someday.

                        Aw fooey! No subtitles! Or even the option for English subtitles!

                        Everything is in Japanese, which I don't speak or understand.

                        Oh well, c'est la vie.

                          Yea. That can be annoying. However, those cats used that same formula for every episode of every show of every series. It's pretty easy to pick up on what's going on.
                          Also, some of the sound effects used are hillarious!
