World's Finest: Superman from MegoMeet

[noelani72]

I received this Mike O'Hearn head from Sandy Collora about 6 years ago.
It took till now to find the right parts.
Got the body from Boss and the suit from Leitner.
Castaway boots snuggly got on.

Sweet figure Chad! Came together nicely . . . . Can't wait to see Calibous (sp?) finished

[toys2cool]

He looks great. I love that head, looking forward to making mine.

Thanks for this, now I know what he'll look like. I've got that same head, same body and asked BL to make me a Supes suit a couple of weeks ago

awesome minds think alike lol

the castaway boots I picked out were a booger.
Boss said the trick was to microwave a cup of water; get it hot, but not scalding boiling.
Let the boot sit inthe water 30-50 seconds to soften up.
It took me a good 15 minutes per foot to get the boots on, and they're still not quite all the way there cuz the foot width. If I soaked them a bit more, I'd bet they'd stretch. You can see how the castaway boot conformed to the body once it got soft - look at the calves to see them take shape.

You'll get no arguement from me

another option on the feet is to replace my boot feet with standard mego or castaway feet. the boot feet are made to look like the boot is already on. that can make it rough to slide a boot over the top.

BTW... Chad, it was really cool to see that figure come together during the day. Also, my kids love the KISS figures. I need that Gene!!! ;-)

Jiminy Cricket, is that head 6 years old??? Man, time flies... I must be geeting old. He looks great, Chad.

that's a great idea! Jason's just across the river from me and it's always a good time when he and I get together and geek out on toys.

Time does fly..can't believe it took me so long to do anything with it; but the time was just right. Boss's body was perfect.

heck yeah. I'll be in touch, or if it crosses your mind first; shoot me a PM. My time is fairly flexible now that I don't work my night job anymore
