    A double dose of custom mego monsters-- karloff's "mord" and "fu manchu"

    Hello all,

    These are older customs of mine, and as such, they never got a fair unveiling with some nice hi-rez photos. I tinker with my customs continuously, and both these guys underwent some recent revisions. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to revisit them.

    A pair of human monsters today- and no one was better at portraying human monsters than dear old Boris. So, for your viewing pleasure: "Mord from Tower of London", and "Mask of Fu Manchu". Both are heavily altered Megos from my Mage Toys' "World Famous Movie Monsters" Line. These two were from the same "assortment", hence why they are being displayed together.

    All sculpts, costuming and box art, etc., was done by me.

    Enjoy!

    Matt


    MORD:






    I am particularly proud of the axe, as it was scratch-built.


    Fu Manchu:

    This box is among my favorites that I've done:









    Thanks for looking!

              Those are great. Excellent likenesses and I love the finger nails on Fu Manchu. Super work. This is why I love customs. Few toy companies would even attempt to execute the little details that really make these two customs stand apart.

                        Luv that you constantly go back and rework figures. These are amazing.
                        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                            Me too! Those are a great looking pair from all angles - paints, stitchery, packaging - super nice stuff.
