    That 70's Bro

    Luke Cage AKA Power Man in his 70's outfit. I really liked this character in the New Avengers. I came accross some cheep wrestler figures that I was going to use for Luke's arms, then I found that the CTVT shirt (dyed yellow)would not fit those arms. So, I used some of Doc Mego's swivel arms (painted brown) along with Doc's boots, body (with a resin chest) and wrist bands. I made the pants and added a craft store chain. The head is from Toy Fanatic's site. I added the headband and poofed up the fro' then painted it.
    Now all I need is Iron Fist!

      Well done, would have been a great Mego to see in the 70's.

        Loved Luke Cage, Hero for Hire when I was a kid. That is a great looking figure.

            That is an absolutely terrific figure. Everything pops on it. I had every issue of Powerman and Iron Fist, so I'm a major fan. You did an awesome job on this.
            I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

            If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

              Really great job! It always amazes me when I see figures like this with really well done eyes. Your hands must be rock-steady when you paint!

                        Outstanding! I've loved this character since I was introduced to him years ago. You've really nailed the 70's style in Mego form! Love it!

                          Perfect likeness. Very nicely executed figure.
                          "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                          And because of all their tears,
                          Their eyes can't hope to see
                          The beauty that surrounds them
                          Isn't it a pity".

                              THAT is an absolutely PERFECT Mego Luke Cage. Well done! Great work! I would buy that off the shelf in a heartbeat! Love your paints and you completely nailed his look with the updates to the head. Excellent execution.
