Jack Kirby Captain America

[bleit1701]

I turned the recent Captain Action mask into a Mego like head by filling it with tissue and sculpy. Giving him a neck to work with. Made a resin cast and gave it to Austin to shrink. The wings gave him a problem but he got them to work.

I used the DC Direct Darkseid hands because of their Kirby squared off look.

Back when Cap was first revived Jack drew him with a flat shield. Not the domed one he uses these days, so I created one for this custom.

Head paints and suit sewn by me.

That is freaking awesome

[Blue Meanie]

Will this be at Mego Meet?? Better question...will you be at Mego Meet this year??

Fantastic work as usual.

[megojim]

[Earth 2 Chris]

Awesome sauce!

[newlyknighted]

That is an outstanding tribute to Kirby!!

[Ivaniski]

Beautiful and Colorful...Great work.

[hedrap]

That. Is. Awesome.

I've always wanted to see those CA heads turned Megoesque! Fantastic!

[Makernaut]

That is one cool looking Cap!

Very cool that you adapted the head from the Round 2 Captain Action line. I know the line has its critics, but I think they were groovy.

[TrekStar]

A+ awesome creation, just beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[ScottA]

That’s pretty sweet.

[knight errant00]

Awesome! Love that head on him!

One idea -- cool that you thought of the flat shield, but how about adding the extra white stripe Kirby drew it with on the cover?

[nubee]

Fantastic. Wished I could purchase this in a store

[mjaycox]

Oh man, I love that

I've wanted a great Kirby style likeness for Cap for years, and I don't even make superhero customs, lol
