    ...modeling the red safari jacket from fashion designer Plaid Stallions: Wonder Man!

    Nothing screams 1970s fashion quite like a red safari jacket. Even more so, if it's on a super-hero

    Here we have my favorite version of Wonder Man (Simon Williams) as originally drawn by George Perez in Avengers 167 (Which also includes my favorite version of Guardians of the Galaxy).





    My favorite version because it is the one I remember most? Maybe. But, something about this look worked for me. It was so different than any other super-hero costume and it just seemed to go with Simon's personality at the time.

    He is built on a Mego T2 body; black CTVT unitard; CTVT yellow belt; original CAT boots; head molded, resized, and cast from a Bowen bust (painted by yours truly); and the jacket so masterfully done by our very own Jessica. Just look at the detail in the jacket! The pockets look like "W's"! After I received it in the mail I sent her a message saying, "I married the wrong woman!" LOL





    The Bowen bust:



    This custom truly is a tribute to the talents of Jessica. Make sure you let her know how incredible she is.

    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking.

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

    Austin

        I completely agree this is my favorite version of Simon as well AND I agree with you on the Guardians of the Galaxy as well!

        Your custom figure is absolutely gorgeous!!! Simon is my on me "to-do" list but, you sir, have set the bar on customizing this character IMHO. The only way I would attempt to make a Simon now is if Jessica would make me a jacket too!

        Jessica, if you are reading this, I am relatively new here and this my first exposure to your work and I must say I am in awe of your tailoring craftsmanship and attention to detail!!!

                That issue of the Avengers is when I started collecting Marvel comics religiously because it just blew me away! My all time favorite! Your Wonderman is perfect Austin! Jessica, you have some mad sewing skills girl!

                  Obviously the figure is so dazzling it blinded you from seeing the recipe (which is included with all my custom posts). Feel free to scroll back up, shield your eyes from the glare (wear sunglasses if necessary) and you will find it.

                          Looks like he fell right off the Mego truck in the 70's. Well done.

                            Perfectly said, Brown Bear! Is a perfect Mego look-a-like! I would have loved to had one as a kid. My favorite version of the Guardians of the Galaxy as well.
