Another Billy Batson

[smonte00]

Okay, so I get my son a DC Retro Captain Marvel and he asks me for a Billy Batson. I like to make these so he can play with them like he would a regular mego, so I wanted o use a soft head instead of resin.
I got a Chachi head from TMANSTOYS, Bud Bundy body, pants, shoes and a Doc Mego Peter Parker red sweater. I thought I done, but I had to restring the body (CTVT) a couple of days after I gave it to him. Anyway, the head is a little big, but I like that creepy smile on him.

That head works pretty good for the character, especially the 70's TV show version.

Nice! great to see the kids playing with these
- if the ctv body does not hold up - try using an original our gang body - it should hold up better for play. Or also a doc mego kid body.

Thanks. I don't really have a problem with the body itself. Actually, what happened was the hook on one of the arms got loose from the band. Rather than put that back together, I just restrung the thing.
I gotta tell you, it's a lot of fun watching him play with megos. He makes up some pretty cool "episodes". That's what he calls his stories. Brings back memories. Thanks for the tips.
