    Charles Starrett Is..THE DURANGO KID!

    Hey Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted a custom on the boards, I know..The reason? Well, I've literally been working on 7 or so customs over the past two years all at the same time. This custom is actually a newer figure I have been wanting to make for some time now. I'm a huge fan of old western serials, and The Durango Kid, starring Charles Starrett, is one of my favorites. Now for the recipe...Hat, gun, and holster by Castaway Toys (I modified the gun belt and handle of the pistol with a paint trim to match the man himself), Black shirt is by TJ Toys, pants are CTVT, the boots are vintage Fonzie, Mego issue, Bandana by Me, and the body is CTVT with custom molded, and painted glove hands by yours truly. Card is by Me, and clamshell packaging is by Castaway toys.
    Hope you enjoy the pics....




    The Man Himself....

    PS-The rest of the western heroes featured on the card are currently on the work bench. Red Mask (AC Comics), Billy the Kid (Charlton Comics), The Lone Ranger, and Red Ryder and his Blue Steel Beauty. Hopefully He'll shoot your eye out just in time for Christmas -Will

        Fantastic!
        The figure, the card...everything's just perfect!!
        I'm a big fan of Durango Kid. Bill Black of AC Comics is an even bigger fan, and still published Durango Kid stories (although no longer in the long running Best of the West comic thanks to diamnond). I cant wait to show him this!

            Fantastic!!!
            I'm a huge fan of the westerns as well.
            Nice to have some western customs around these parts.
