This isn't really a custom, but I was going through and organizing things when I came across the DST Wolverine brown costume. That got me wondering how those extra costumes would fit on the bandless Mego body, which got me to wondering how the Wolverine costume would fit on a short Topps Mego body. The answer is... not bad!

Any issues with the costume fit is to due to seamstress issues, as some of the same issues, like keeping the costume straight and not turned, were present for me on the Type S body.
For comparison sake, here he is with the out-of-the-box Tiger-Stripe Wolverine:

And with the stock DST body Daredevil:

I also tried the Steve Rogers Shield uniform on a taller bandless Mego body and the fit was good. Those wide shoulders didn't cause me any issues.
So if you have some extra DST Marvel outfits sitting around, the Mego Bandless bodies, with a little work (mostly in fitting the head on the body), are a good way to get some use out of them, and on a modern body.
