    Shazam!

    Custom Shazam: I'm not a follower or fan of the character but I did want to improve the look of the Mego version so here's what my I created. Original Mego Head and body, He is wearing the cape, belt and wrist bands from the Mattel Retro one and he has on a red body suit and gold pirate boots from CTVT along with a custom lighting bolt. I'm very happy with the results.

    That came out really nice and easy to put together, I always thought Mego Shazam should of had a white cap, like it was pictured on the box.

      That really "pops"! I'm a big fan of Capt. Marvel and the original Mego head sculpt, I think your version is excellent.

          Great Job! Awesome figure. I like the gold instead of the yellow. I like the cape as well instead of the original Mego yellow cape.

              You know what.. that's a good point. I wonder why they didn't make the cape in white instead of yellow using the same style.

                Quick note: For the cuffs, to remove them I destroyed the Mattel faded suit. I cut the sleeves off then turned the cuffs half way inside out and cut the sleeve close enough to the stitching but left some to keep it intact. They slip on to wrist and the material and stitching keep it in place and you cant see anything from the old body suit. Easy peasy
