    Mr. Mxyzptlk (Our Gang size) and friends

    Here's Mr. Mxyzptlk with his pal Superman. It's an original Mego Mxy head on an Our Gang size body with an excellently crafted suit by Brian Leitner and cool box by The Toyroom.

    Excellent! One of the new stands from Paul would really sell the floating effect.. outstanding!

      Looks great! I wish Mego had made him this way originally.

        I'll have to check those stands out.

        Brian, ran a wire through the purple piping on the bottom of the tunic, so it flares out. Odd size figure, but the suit fits perfectly, and I love the art on Anthony's box.

          He came out great. The "big" head / small body kind of works for the character. And the suit and the box are incredible.

            Great job! Love the big head on the small body too! Laser Mego has a set of emblems with Mxyzptlk's belt buckle as well as the clear stand. I agree that it would really sell the floating concept!

                  Why didn't you shrink the head? Drop it in acetone and it will shrink to Our Gang size as well.

                      I vowed not to mess with chemistry since struggling through organic chem in college. I've been afeared of science ever since.

                      But thanks for the tip. I may give it a try.

                        Me and Tothiro had talked about doing this, because we both hated the character.

                        Nice to see how it would come out. Good work.

                              Great idea. Beautiful outfit. Fantastic custom. I like this version so much more than the original Mego body.
