    Custom of the Week - 11/14/2011

    This week the spotlight falls on Brian Leitner's custom 24" Giantman. This figure is fully-articulated, and I'm a little partial to it because it once was mine. I bought a few of the bodies with the idea that they would make a good Galactus, but I like Brian's idea even better. Working in this scale is uncharted territory, but Brian was able to make this fit right in with the rest of the Mego gang.

                Great job on this one... made all the greater by how creepy the original naked dude looked! Quite the transformation.

                      Just another character Brian pulls off perfectly. It was a pretty creepy looking figure when I first saw it. Of course it was naked at the time.
                      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                          Brain's work just blows my mind!
                          and makes me poor.
                          and inspires customs not on my current list.
                          and keeps me busy on ebay.
                          way to go dude.
