    The Flash

    Yup, yet another Flash Mego custom thrown upon an unsuspecting world. I've seen a lot of great Flash figs, and I hope this one isn't the worst one out there. I used the Brian Leitner head and modified it paint-wise a bit so it stands out from the other figures who use it. I had these vinyl boots for a while and thought they'd be best used here. The ultra-snug bodysuit is CTTV and trim by me. I may end up replacing the emblem if I can find a better one than my homemade insignia.

    Nothing too exciting here, just a basic Flash figure.

    He looks good. I like the Leitner head. I used it as well. Nothing wrong with doing a Flash. I love seeing them. I've noticed that they all have small differences which to me is really cool. Thanks.

      Scott, I think your Flash custom looks great. You definitely cannot go wrong with Leitner products. Great work!

        Everything looks great and tight, only thing I'd change are the boots, they really don't fit the character

          Very nice work, looks like CTVT got better with the suits.

            He turned out great...I have to agree about the boots though, he looks like he might trip over in em.

              Nice work Scott...especially the head paints which are your speciality! Yeah, I would probably switch the boots too for a pair of Castaway boots.

                I love it. I am working on one similar to that so I can have a "Barry" and a "Wally" version. I concur on the boot swap too - that would really clean it up. thatbatmanguy makes a real suite die-cut flash emblem too, but yours looks pretty good already

                        Love the almost sinister look. He's got that look right through you gaze. The castaway boots in yellow look just like the Flash boots. They're Chips basically but vinyl-like. Great job on the trim work too.
                        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                              I've never liked that Captain America head and never really liked it used for other characters as a result. HOWEVER, your paintjob on that head makes it look much cooler than I've ever seen that head look! Nice job! I saw a Cap head Flash and was expecting not to like it and I really do like it. Love the suit and the belt details. You really do need to loose the vinyl boots though! Try a nice pair of yellow castaway boots if you don't like the standard hero boots.
