    The Question

    My 1st Mego custom...

    The Question!

    I really enjoyed his characterization as a conspiracy theorist on the JLU cartoon. I will be attempting a Ditko-era version soon, but for now, here's my version of the Question:


    "The key wasn't the clue. The key was mine. Now, this list of container ship arrivals I palmed when they were yelling at you: that's the clue!"



    "Topically-applied fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by satellite."


    "The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister!"


    "Ah Ha! As I suspected...32 flavors!"

    Make your own:
    head: Playmates Dick Tracy (the Ninja Turtles sized ones)
    suit: Dr. Mego blue suit (I dyed the undershirt yellow and colored the red tie black with a fabric marker)
    hands: CTVT black glove hands
    shoes: CTVT black shoes

    Thanks for looking!
    Joel

    Really cool first custom. I always kinda had a soft spot for the Question, a very unique character indeed! Can't wait for the Ditko version.

      Nice, and I really dug his Rorshach inspired conspiracy nut portrayal in JLU.

            Looks great. You did a great Job. I like this character. Not a favorite, but an interesting one. Thanks for showing him.

              Dude. That is sweet. I was just thinking the other day how easy it would be for me to throw him together. Then you made it, and it looks a lot more complicated then I planned out. I really like this. I loved him on the JLU cartoon.

                Actually, it was harder to make his Baskins-Robbins 32nd flavor container than it was to make him!

                Just Dremel down the Tracy features and Magic Sculpt over the face nice and smooth... everything else was online-store bought.

                    Nice job Joel. Cool idea for a figure and a great execution.

                    The question is…what do you do next?

                            My bad, tried to post a gallery, but you apparently can't edit the main title.
                            So I'll start a new thread I guess...
