    Prince Namor - the Sub-Mariner

    Today I present you with the leader of three-quarters of the world: Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner!

    I started out wanting to make him in his "savage" costume, the one created by Mr. Fantastic to help him survive outside of water. And, I will eventually finish that costume, but in the meantime I had all of the parts to make him in his more traditional form.

    Probably the most simple custom I have ever made, all things considered, but there is something about this one that strikes a chord with me. He is so crisp and clean. The colors just "pop" like straight from a comic book page. Well, without further ado, I give you the Sub-Mariner!

    Built on an original Mego T2 body, belt, cuffs, and briefs from CTVT; ankle wings from Laser Mego; trident from the Marvel Legends Savage Sub-Mariner action figure; yours truly on the head resizing of a 2005 Hard Hero statue and paints.



    In his natural habitat:



    The statue he is based from:



    The most simple, yet possibly the most effective custom I think I have ever made. The head sculpt is what really makes this one work so well, in my opinion.

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

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

              I like it. I also once worked with a lady with eyebrows just like that.

                  came out perfect! great job!

                  first time I have seen him with that head.
                  I was unaware Laser mego made stuff like his feet wings. I gotta grab a set to upgrade mine! Maybe even use them on a Captain America head as well.

                        That's Namor! Had Mego done one in 1977 or so, he'd have looked just like this!

                          Looks great! Sometimes 'simple' is exactly what is needed.

                              You're right, it's a perfect custom. The resized head looks much better than the original.
