    Magneto Master of Magnetism (Easy build)

    To start I used Famous Covers head, helmet and belt, I grabbed a neck adapter from Paul Wasson of Laser Mego. It its on a vintage Mego body with CTVT arms, purple hands and boots. The suit is from Brian L. The cape is a Marvel Legends custom cape from eBay. The cape ring piece is from the another Magneto by Hasbro. The head I'll be replacing with one from 8 inch Super Store when it reopens.

    I'm still fairly new to this forum and to Mego collecting and customizing. Can you tell me more about Brian L and does he have a website for purchasing clothing/outfits for customs? Thanks.

            I already have most of the parts, but I have one question: how do you get the cape/ring armor thing off the Marvel Legends Magneto figure? Thanks😊

              The cape ring on the one I bought wasn't part of the figure but I did have to cut the vinyl cape part off. Best way was to cut it down to maneuver cutting the molded part of the cape off the ring. Then I first superglued the fabric part to the back of the ring underneath working my way until the cape was covering half the ring.
