    Jason Young used it a few weeks ago and earned himself a well-deserved COTW. It inspired me to finally finish my own.

    Looking at the In Progress thread, I'm curious... why did you change out the boots and gloves? Those glove hands were pretty darn awesome.

        Actually, I prefer the Iron Man gloves and boots in purple. I think they look awesome and much better than the original choice. They really sell the custom.

            Matt answered this for you. I was originally going to go with the boots and gloves in the Works in Progress thread, but when I saw Jason Young's version with the Iron Man gloves and boots I realized he had discovered a more Megoesque way to make him. So a big "thanks" to Jason for the inspiration.

                Austin taking one of MY ideas is a HUGE compliment. He and I share an attribute when customizing; we both ask ourselves “What would Mego have done?”. Austin is so good at making megoesque figures that I find myself sometimes asking “What would Austin do?” which is basically the same question.

                As is often the case, I finish a custom (such as Powersuit Lex) that I’m pleased with and then BAM! Austin posts his version of the same character and kills mine. I am totally going with the fabric skirt, so we’re even.

                  "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                      Yes, the IM gloves and boots look fantastic and definitely give it a classic Mego vibe. So I can't argue with the results.

                        Aw, shucks. You're embarrassing me now. Thanks for the kind words.
