Famous Covers head for a Mego Dr. Doom

Expensive hobby, huh? He looks great.

Thanks Gary. You were very understanding and extremely helpful with the joy I get everytime I look at this custom piece.

I just harvested the tentacles off a FC Doc Ock, and slid them onto a CTVT fatman body. Oh Yeah! We making toys now!

Great work on Doom, Dr Cyclops.

Wow. I really didn't expect the fabric hood, to make such a difference. Now, I don't know what to think. Two versions, with and without? At this point, I'm starting to think that there really is no need for a better "Dr. Doom" Mego head beyond the FC version. If and when I get to casting, I may vary this design with my own sculpted hood. That said, I'm gonna go for other comic character heads. These heads (not mine, all the others) and you members here, make customizing Megos and Character Dolls, such a fun hobby. Thanks for all the help.

More sweetness from the Toyroom. I changed the belt to a CTVT brown plastic belt, because the CTVT vinyl with buckle wouldn't hold a position. It just pulled out of the buckle too easy.

Fantastic!

Great Doom, but love your sculpts on Frankenstein, Nosferatu and London After Midnight.

I agree with everyone's sentiment here, stay with a fabric hood whenever possible. I played with the idea of molding a hood for my Taskmaster for years before deciding to make it with spandex. It took a few tries but eventually it came out okay. That is a badass Doom figure and EXACTLY how I would have expected it to look on the pegs in 1979.

Everyone, thanks!
'madmarva': Two words: 'sillicone, rubber'. That's how close I am. :(
'Random Axe': I got two more FC Dr. Doom heads coming in the mail. (I have no desire to ever disassemble this custom figure in order to cast the head.) One will only be scupted for neck-plug attachment only, the other is for an attempt to sculpt the hood.
Disclaimer: Dr. Doom customs are expensive, and cost way too much money to make. This is not a cheap custom figure. :(

cool, he looks perfect with the box.

The boxes are beyond belief. I asked for early silver-age Marvel style. The_Toyroom delivered. His choice of graphics is to drool over. I'll post pics soon.
