    Is there a "Famous Covers" website?

    Just curious, I have quite a few of them.

    there used to be some, pretty sure they are deceased now.

      There has never been a great one that I know of, and the ones that did exist have long since ceased to be; a shame too because I have a ton of figures from the Famous Covers line.

      Maybe Doc could put a section in the museum for Famous Cover and the DC Hasbro line.

        I used to be really big into them until they just completey died (collectors and sites all over).

        Then I came back to Mego years ago.


        I still got a lot of Famous Covers. I have been picking them apart to use for customs. The ones in good condition are in boxes and I am slowly selling them.

          I'd be amazed if he did considering he doesn't have the password.

          Megolike has a pretty comprehensive FC section, there used to be a yahoo group but I think it's pretty quiet.

                  I am still learning who does what around here. Sorry for the mix-up.

                  Lou's site is pretty good, and very well organized.

                    I'm still plugging away in the thankless realm of the Famous Cover (worst-name-ever) Heroic Proportions was really nice. With the Famous Covers group you can get a question answered by some of the big folks in the hobby, but I don't hear much other than that. I'm always happy to chat about it. Sometimes, I think it would be neat to get a site going. Does anybody care, though?

                        Don't forget my friend Jeff.
                        He used to customize Famous Covers and Megos.

                        His old site is here.

                        Also....................


                        Anyone know the Famous Covers customizer master Vince Callaghan?

                        Vince is the"DR. MEGO/Paul Clarke guy" of the Famous Cover's world.

                        He has his own site and custom parts shops online.

                        You can order rezin heads, bodies...etc.
                        Hell of a nice guy. He even does full commissions.

                        Depending on what you are willing to spend.


                        Here is his site. I believe this is it.

                          What happened to Heroic Proportions? It had all the old patterns from Atomic Dog there.
