Great figure, old thread or not. What's funny is that I have the exact same relationship to the character; never read any story he was in, but saw the character in ads and thought he looked bad ash. Was surprised to eventually find out he wasn't a permanent arch-villain for Spidey.

WOW! FREAKING AWESOME, MAN. VERY, nice. I notice the slight touches, like how the boots have both blue and black, like they inked/colorized him back in the day.
I did a Famous Covers version years ago (I did a whole mess of obscure villains) but sold it along with all of the other FC customs I did.
I'm getting the bug to start doing custom Megos now that Mattel's Retro-Action line is out there...
Good thoughts for ya with your custom endeavors!
....what a treat it was to find this "very Ed" thread bumped this morning...
...ladies & gents, it's been the longest break that Ed's taken in the SUPERHERO genre (BTW...great recent monsters again, Ed!)...
BUT.... Ed's been hard at work on a few comic costumed characters
including TWO "Marvel U" characters that I'm thinking of particularly,
that I just know will blow away the Mego-era superhero fans!
Cool TARANTULA...still love, love, LOVE it after about two years later
and a "sculpty to vinyl" switch for the back of the headband!

Many custom figure photo updates needed
in that linked "toy room" thread of mine,
...still... that thread is about one year newer
than THIS thread---ha ...
....and WILL be in the (hopefully near) future edited to a newer era!

Do you have a shot of your collection perhaps in the Toyroom? OR a link to the thread if so?
I don't think I have any pics left... it was nearly ten years ago when I did them. Just the other day I tried Google searches but came up short. I did Nova, Luke Cage, Absorbing Man, loads of them. My hero at the time was Nick in the U.K. who did a bazillion custom FCs, all 100% awesome! I really loved doing obscure characters like Morbius, Firebrand, Blizzard, The Jackal, Tarantula, Carrion... I had a total blast. My wife helped big time, sewing outfits based on materials I sourced. I did the sculpting work. I know I submitted all kinds of pics to custom FC galleries back then. Is there a popular Famous Covers custom gallery that I may not be aware of that is still running? Maybe someone still has pics of them, I have no idea.

Apologies Astro/reneg... I mistakenly thought the request was to me!

That is one cool,crisp,looking figure you got there Sir!
You are definitely one of the best customizers here in the MEGO community.
Any new project in mind or in the works right now?
I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way.
