    Agreed. You can go bigger with the emblem.

    You did an excellent job copying the 1:6 scale Mego. As you know know they have a unique look. A repro box for Mr. Fantastic would add to this figure too but it's really perfect as is. Great choice on the head! That gamble paid off.

    Bliet killed that outfit. He is the best and very professional.
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

      That just looks amazing...like a factory figure. I think I want one for my collection.

      Are there more outfits available?

            Definitely make the emblem larger.
            Other than that he looks very good, though I have to admit I never would have thought of Robert Forster as Reed.
            Bugler, sound the advance.

                Yes, and his head became the head of the Jordache jeans doll.

                        Just a little update on this a while back I sent bleit1701 a jordache doll because he did some really great work for me and I was hoping he would make a Dr. Strange out of him.

                          so that is your master plan.

                          I love the head and want to do some stuff with it but haven't had the time yet.

                            finally - the prototype has been found! I love it. it is hard to find (impossible?) the same material mego used - that would have made him perfect.
                            i think the emblem is perfect size. emblems filled hests of heroes in later years. this is the 70's AND EVERY mego must have quirkkiness to be a mego.

                              Are you going to do the rest of the FF in this format? Would love to see your take on Sue, Johnny and the Thing.
