JLA & Legion of Doom Customs 9"

[Dvalin]

Hi guys. I'm new to the forum, but have been a customizer for years. Right now, I mostly do JLU customs, but do have a lot of 9" customs (see below) and custom megos.
MY custom megos have been almost exclusively commissioned by various people because I REALLY want the finished "out of the store" look. I believe I purchased the heads of the megos by Leitner, some of the clothes came from this fellow who had all these wonderful designs on a website and silk-screened the buhjeezus outta these. I tried seeking him out a year ago to do more, but his site was down after all the cease and desist junk Marvel put out years ago with Doc Mego. If anyone knows who I'm talking about, please put a bug in my ear. The dude had a catalogue of custom costumes that couldnt be beat, but he did charge a tidy sum for the suits.
Nonetheless, below are MY 9" inch (Famous Covers) customs below I did (plus my megos). The only two that I cant take credit for is Batgirl and Wonder Woman. All the rest are either store bought or made by my own hand. The customs were featured a few years back in an AFW Custom Con. Thanks!

Nice stuff! Great to know other people work in the 9 inch scale, too! I'd love to see more from you!

Thanks Gary,
I have all of the Marvel Famous Covers figures, but they are all boxed up in storage. Im afraid that the only two characters that I did custom work on in that line were The Thing and The Human Torch. I will try to post those if I can dig them out of storage.

Im working on Justice Society JLUs right now and would LOVE to expand my megos to the DC Earth 2 realm, but my desire to make them look like a product that mego would have marketed in the 70s means that it would cost a pretty penny for me to do that. Maybe one day, if I can ever find someone that does the silk screening/dye work on the costumes. I really hate seeing sloppy work with matted/unrefined putty or resin and ugly hot glue. I think thats why I got away from the fabric work and do more with plastics, putty, and resin.

Id love to share my JLU stuff, but this doesnt seem to be the place to do it.

Thanks,
Dvalin

Thanks all! I just rediscovered the fella who made most of my suits. That was "megowgsh" on the forums (Austin) through his old "Reproheads" site.
I understand that he is in the insurance business these days and does few custom suits due to his day job. I am a Bank Manager by day. Anyway, I still may try to get back in touch with him and commission several JSA suits, if he is amenable to it.
