    Repro Zorro Outfit

    Okay so I am giving up on my first Vintage Mego. I have given up on ever finding Zorro. So I am buying the CTVT head , and The hat and Star Trek body from Doc. Now My next issue is trying to find a Repro outfit . Has anyone stumble accross this yet ???

    I don't mind the material being slightly different ( for obvious reasons ) , but I love the way the original shirt looks. Cape and all. I have been looking but I havent found anything out there. Yet I just ordered some things from Austin at Reproheads so I wonder If I could ask him to make one ? I just gave him a time consuming order and dont want to ask for too much. Any other suggestions ?

      Actually , Thats a great idea. I'll try that . I just liked the button down shirt look, but until I learn to sew my own suits, that will just have to work. Thanks !

        What about a Flattworld Bela Legosi Outfit?? With Minor modifications.

        Perhaps Dye the vest and shirt black. Hem up the pants, new head and hat a blackbeard CTVT sword, and you got him.

            You can pick up a Bela Lugosi on Ebay for around 10 bucks in the box. There is usually someone with a case they are selling off individually. It's a cool figure anyway, but I was thinking I could take it apart and make a cool looking Zorro. Here's a link.

                Paco head (forget which one), Will Bill pants, Playing Mantis AJ spy shirt and belt, Repro RM Robin mask, Trek body, hand sewn cape, metal hors devours sword, Doc hat...

                In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

                  He looks great! Don't change a thing!

                  Where'd you get the sword from?

                      TJsToys sells "cop shirts" that are black button down and are $3.00 they also sell other stuff -

                      I used thatr shirt and a seam ripper to remoove the pockets along with hemmed ctv tuxedo pants for my repro zorro.

                            Actually, that's Wyatt Erp Pants and a Regular t2 body with black boots. But the original issue Paco head is the key. It looks just like Zorro with that pin striped moustache.

                            And I hear the box is one of three known to exist.
