    Golden Age Green Hornet!

    Here is the first addition to my line of custom Mego action figures based on the stars of Golden Age movie serials. This particular Green Hornet is modeled after his celluloid counterpart from the Universal Serial, The Green Hornet Strikes Again. GA's mask is sculpted on to his face, and features a custom paint job including the Hornet insignia, a modified Mego Wizard Of Oz jacket, CTVT pants & shoes, re-painted Cast-A-Way Toys fedora, a handmade neck scarf, and GH is built on a vintage Mego body. GH's Gas Gun is hand-sculpted and painted by Little Ol' Me I also designed the blister card you see here sporting a Cast-A-Way Toys Clamshell. I've been sitting on this one for quite awhile, I hope you like Him
    -Will

                Fantastic. You should make a mold of the head and sell it. I'd buy one for sure. Great figure.

                            Cool custom. The hornet insignia came out great.

                            And I love the idea of a "Saturday Matinee Superstars" line. Looking forward to seeing your take on the others...

                              Many thanks Gang The rest of the line-up will eventually join GH in plastic immortality with the next release, Zorro! I'm thrilled you like the card so much, Looking back at previous cards I've done it's easily the one I'm most proud of And, Sorry Bizarro Megomauler, no plans to take on Cap and the Dynamic Duo as of yet, Maybe if I decide on a Wave 2?
                              Thanks again, you guys are the best
