      Thanks!!!

      I'm pretty happy with this guy the only thing is, I found four loose Zica screws in a cup on my workbench and can only trace it to this figure. I'll have to live with it though. There is no way I'm getting that orange CTVT torso suit off of him in one piece as it was nearly impossible to get on.

        Yeah, those torso outfits are SUPER tight. I played around with dye a lot the past couple of days and I have a new appreciation for how well you made those gloves match. Clean figure.

          This is awesome. This is what I wish re-mego was. It has all the elements of the original mego line, yet has the upgraded quality of the year we are in.

            Luckily I found the body that was missing the screws, it was stashed in my "figures in progress" bin. I would have been pretty steamed if I'd ripped off that torso suit only to find the screws in the body.

            Dying those gloves takes a bit of practice, the color can come up on you really quick. Originally, I was going to dye white gloves orange. Then at the last second I thought, why not dye yellow ones red to get orange? I got lucky and it worked like a charm.

                Wow! Just wow, freaking wow. When combine with how you had to finish the head (filling, sanding), and the not over-the-top paint job (keeping it simple enough to look just right), how did you get the dye so perfect? It was luck, wasn't it? Like when you got that torso piece on without ripping up.

                    That is a fine looking figure. Gotta agree with you on the satisfaction of putting a figure IN the box!
