Ghost Rider is 60th carded Mego
cardedghostrider.JPGghostriderhead.JPG I just finished carding my 60th Mego tonite. This was a fun one to make. His body is a vintage Klingon with black boots. His pants were custom made by the lady at the dry cleaners. His white T shirt and black jacket are from the Fonz. His head is a painted valve cover for the tire on a car. The rubber flames on his head and arms are from a Mc Donalds human torch figure. The chain is from a dust cap off my fuel truck. Custom card by me.

Is Ghost Rider that bad ? Not even 1 negative comment. I know he is not perfect but for the limited skills I have as a customizer I thought he could have turned out worse. I will try and make a better custom for my next project. -
He turned out really well. Luv that card art!If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.Comment

I like your creativity my friend. You went out and did something in your vision. If you like it then it's fine with me. As for as "Negative comments" people are not allowed to do that on this board. Otherwise I would have pages filled with them for some of the stuff I have done over the years.
Just keep up doing what you like and believe in. I would have went with a smaller chain but who am I? Good job!More custom Mego madness on Facebook right here...

I was going to go with a smaller chain but it cost 5 dollars and I wanted a large double double from Tim Hortons. The chain I used was free. I am still learning this custom thingy. Trying to do it within a budget can be just as fun as making the actual figure. I see potential Mego parts everywhere now.Comment

If you're doing what Cosmicman said, great.
For example, if you said to yourself, "Mego wouldn't do a giant flame on his head, because they didn't do one for Torch". OK. That's a position. So a little context as to your process will help with repsonses.Comment

Understood, I am currently not trying to have the most totaly accurate finest expensive examples at this time. I am more about quantity. I want as many carded Megos as posible. As long as they look reasonably good and I did my best then I am happy. I will never sell these one off customs. I hope to leave them to my great grandchildren some day. Half the fun right now anyways is trying to build these customs for as little as posibile. The custom cards I make for example only cost me 1 dollar. I currently have 60 carded Megos and hope to reach some where near 100 by Christmas.Comment
