    Captain America

    I made this guy for my daughter. Because of me she has the theme from the '66 Marvel cartoon lodged in her head and it wont go away. LOL About a month or so ago she asked for a Mego Cap if I had an extra but I didn't. It set in motion me doing a very megoish custom Capt. A. for her and this is the result.
    It's made from a Spidy type 2 body, a re-painted mego head, CTVT boots and a new printed suit from me. I just need to get him a repro shield now.

        As cool as that figure is, Ed... The coolest thing is that it's for your daughter. I always smile when a mego gets in the little mitts of a little kid. He looks great!

            hey Sandy, I agree 100%, only my daughter is 18. I kinda regret not getting more megos for her when she was younger but the interest wasn't there. She started with an ironman last year, this is her second.

              thats awesome. you wouldn't have any extras available for sale?? Or willing to make a few?
              Since I'm brand new to this custom thing how did you even make that suit?

                  Now this is the kind of custom I love. Like Mego, only better. A+ for this one!

                      Nice job, Ed. Hope you find that shield before the kid nags you to death.

                        I am still trying to iron out problems I've been having with my printer but I think I have it worked out so yes I'll be able to do more of these suits. My favorite part of this guy is his head, mego made a great head then ruined it with a bad paint job. after an easy repaint he looks very much better and still has his mego charm.

                          Very Nice! I love the printed suit! You did mego proud. Any chance of a tutorial for printing suits?

                              Excellent work Ed. Mego should have done his outfit this way in the first place.
