    I love the Classic-ness of your chioces: Type 1 body, AJ suit and PotA boots; they offer an interesting contrast to the completely Non-Classic head.

    So, I have to ask... what is your head sculpt? I had often thought of trying to make a similar figure, but only to use up one of the many spare William Shatner heads in my Bitz Box; in the end, I decided it would not work.

    Have you chosen a dedicated weapon for him? A Machete from the "Rambo Weapons Pack" would suit him well, IMHO.

    I am pretty sure I bought the head at the 2013 Mego Meet, from megowgsh (Austin). He has a plethora of heads! Hit him up.

    Regarding the weapon, I am not sure what direction I am going with yet. That is a fantastic idea, however.

                  Looks great Chris! - Nailed it for sure.

                  I'm still shocked that the real mask was a Captain Kirk Mask turned inside out

                      As I mentioned above, there is a green pastic machete included in this pack (sorry, it is hidden behind the bullwhip in this photo) --



                      I'm sure there are a number of other logical weapon choices (especially if you pick from all those he used throughout the franchise!), but the best would be a large kitchen knife, IMHO. My recommendation would be to consider a "Barbie kitchen knife" (search term on ebay) available in grey plastic or chrome-plated; trim down the handle to Mego-scale, and you'll have something that looks exactly right. Whether or not to paint wet (glossy) blood on the blade is your decision -- maybe you should get two.
