supes looks great, lex could be a little lighter for me but still good

looks like they had better holiday weather than me

yea, I matched him up the the Cast-a-Way/Vintage Mego body... just dunk and wipe, maybe 20 seconds... the great thing is you can control how tan it gets...

Wow Dave...that is so FREAKIN' COOL!! well done!

They look good! Very Mego-Like.

I like the way those heads turned out.

Are the Superman and Lex bodies made of different kinds of plastic? From the way the light reflects off of them, one looks smoother than then other.

That's Pretty Damn Cool Dave. I never dyed a head before, Just most of the fabric I use, cool stuff.

The Dye doesn't Dye the eye's at all ? ... Interesting.

Yea the vinyl actually absorbs the dye, the paint does not... So you can dye most vinyl heads (I am sure there are exceptions) without effecting the paint job at all...
