    Captain Marvel

    Here is the custom I did to try to capture a look more close to the original. What do you guys think? I'm thinking of ordering the "small pirate boots" from Doc Mego to replace the ones pictured here. The body, head, suit and boots came from Doc Mego. The emblem, belt, wrist design, and cape were hand made. It was a struggle trying to get the eyes to have that right that "squint" look, with the right shape to the eyebrows. The head came flesh colored and didn't look right when i tried to paint it, so I left it that way.

    Captain Marvel was always one of my favorite megos because I grew up watching the show on Saturday mornings and reading the comics. I really hope a Retro Action figure comes out along with a Black Adam.

                Hey, thats pretty cool. Who knew the original Mego head was really so close to CC Becks classic take? Fix the eyes/eyebrows and there he is.

                Great stuff!!

                    Great job on that costume! Reminds me of Barry Bostwicks get-up on the show. I also like how you gave the head sculpt that classic Cap Marvel feel. Nice work
