Killer Kane – Buck Rogers Customs

[mikeoz]

I still visit the Museum, but I haven’t made a custom figure in a very long time. I’m semi-retired now and have had some time to start customs again.

Some of my favorite “New Mego” figures were from the Buck Rogers line by Zica. Unfortunately, only two were ever produced – Buck and Tiger Man. I’ve been on a quest to complete the proposed Zica line and add to it.

Here is a custom I made of Killer Kane from the pilot episode. The head is a shrunken down Mego 12” head that Austin made me and I painted. The suit is by the very talented Brian Leitner of chickencoupcustoms . He made the suit several years ago and I never got around to completing the figure. Boots are by Classic TV Toys and gun and belt buckle were 3d modeled by me.

I looked at them all, and they're fantastic. Will you ever do a Michael Ansara head to switch out? I know Mego did a little Draco figure, but I didn't know the show cast the part. Didn't remember seeing him. The Heuer head looks like it could make a classic Adama. Wilma is great too. I never realized how beautiful Erin Gray was. Any chance of Ardala or the Vorvon(space Dracula)?

That came out really nice, great job.

My best compliment: That looks store bought!

Love the suit and head, great job.

Thanks! Brian Leitner did a fantastic job with the suit. I’ve always liked the Mego sculpt of Kane. I think it does a great job capturing the likeness of Henry Silva.

Thank you! Yes. Eventually I’d like to make customs of Vorvon and Ardala.

Wow, even more Buck customs! These are all great. Killer Kane may be my favorite of all.
