    The Human Fly

    This was a request. A pretty simple design. I think it took longer to paint his head than make the costume.



    Ugh, a typo in the title. Can that be fixed?

          Looks great. Wasn't there a Spidey/Fly car set?

              Excellent job. Figure is dead on.

              Fly had a couple year run in the 70's or 80's. Paramount has been working on a screenplay since 2012. He's basically a cross between Daredevil and Wolverine. He's an Evel Knievel type that has an accident that puts him near death. They make his bones indestructible and he decides to become a super hero. He's kinda whacko if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure he had a Spiderman crossover, and maybe a Daredevil too.
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                Love it! Not only is that a great mego treatment but the character so screams "1978!" to me.

                  EEEEEEheeheheeee!

                  That's awesome! Such an unusual character, flawlessly done. The figure is dead-on.

                        Excellent work. The Human Fly was a short-lived but very enjoyable comic from the 70's. Plus he was based on a real life stuntman, which made it extra special. Great custom Brian!

                          Love it! I always had this weird affinity for the Human Fly! I think I liked the cover of his first issue and got hooked. You did a flawless representation. Great job!

                          Here is video of him riding on the fuselage of a jetliner...



                          Oh, those wacky 70s!
