        Pretty damn cool. Can't wait to see what you do with the heads.
        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              Neat!

              Y'know.... the heads you've got on them now look really good; like a team of extras from the show.

                I have been thinking about making Star Blazers customs for a while now. Really all the characters need to be sculpted from zero. I would love to see that animation style translated into Mego figures. I have a few suggestions.

                The Shazam Mego Head would make a pretty good Mark Venture if you tweak the nose and add sideburns. I think it is pretty close to what Mark Venture looked like even as-is. The face & hairstyle is nearly %100 there.

                For Sandor a Mego Bruce Wayne head with repained eyes-no eyebrows would probably work.

                DrMego has a Santa Claus Head which is not too jolly and more angry looking which would probably make a great Captain Avatar. The strained expression on its face is perfect for a man with the fate of humanity and terminal radiation poisoning on his mind. It might need a fuller beard tho to match the animation style.

                For Desslok I recommend a Mego Aquaman. If you fix the pointed ears and tweak the paint-job on the eyes I think you have him good to go.

                Many of the other characters would probably need custom heads. Some of the Space:1999 heads might be adaptable if you can shrink them down to size. They are too big. The Real Ghostbusters figures might do for some characters. Ray as the space marine from season 2, Ego as that guy who looks like Wildstar but w/glasses.

                Dr. Sane definately needs a custom head. I started a Dr. Sane head of my own but I need to correct the proportions of it before it is ready. I haven't any pictures at the moment but maybe soon. I think the way to go would be to put it on a child body to stress his being shorter than the rest of the cast.

                    Thanks guys, Jonmic, we think alike, and I think your dead on with the Shazam/Mark Venture head and Bruce/Sandor. I'm going to mess around with these some more, add some belts with gun holsters and maybe some glove hands. First I'll try to sculpt a Wildstar head though.

                      Thanks Man! Mr. Fantastic could also be used as Desslok I guess, but I think Aquaman is closer to the resemblance.

                        Having said that; yeah, he really is. Paint the eyes so's he's got that detatched, smarmy look and he's almost perfect.
