Dr. Mego Original Figures

[TrueDave]

$15,ooo ?

I'll never see a EMCE Talos now . . . . . . . .
When I heard about Tina,willy,and the Astronaut I was hoping they were built on Teen bodies.

CTV made break apart versions. Good luck going anything with them.

I was about to make the lion rock body for BBP to use in Twilight Zone
when they told me they wanted the child body. AARRGGGHHHH!

So it waits until I have a project that will justify the cost of tooling.

If anyone wants to kick in $15,000 to get it done - let me know.

If PCH comes knocking on my door at the end of the month,sure.

hey guys, why arent teen titan female bodies massed produced? Or are they? ( i havent seen any anywhere)

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

Are there pictures around of those characters? I always thought they were cool and a good way of moving some custom parts.

Just curious.

[drmego]

Those were literally my attempt to offer a basic figure with most of
what you would need to customize into someone else.

No one liked these so I just let it all drop - but that was my first
attempt at a DIY kit - which has led to the DIY Zombie kit due to
arrive in October, if all goes well.

Very nice customs. If they were still for sale I would be very tempted! I like the Green Knight a lot.

Santa!

This is the American Defender action figure created in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack. Hundreds of these figures were sold on ebay with the proceeds going to the Red Cross. Half of the price of this figure will be donated to the Red Cross to continue aiding them in the invaluable work they do - everyday - everywhere.

seeing stuff like that makes me wish i wasnt just getting started.....

[GaryPlaysWithDolls]

does anybody remember the OTHER guys?

[timb]

definitely a certain charm to these fellows: )

What really burns me up is that Dc and Marvel did not do anything to recreate the kind of cool stuff that the great Doc was able to achieve.

Yet, They will not do anything with it even know it will sell and they apparently do not want anyone else to either. That really sucks! It really makes me think twice about buying into the larger companies.

Dr. Mego (Paul Clarke) is the guy who I accidentally stumbled upon years ago and I was stunned to find he had replacement parts for all of my Mego dolls. This was before Dc and Marvel got a hair up their *** and asked him to take their stuff off his site.
Then my daughter (who read comics because of me) became curious and saw all of his customs for sale and begged me to snatch her up stuff like a Dr. Doom, Hawkman, Flash, Green Lantern and the list goes on.
I must have probably given Mr. Clarke at least a grand in money during this process. Most kids want what is in toys stores but my daughter grew up with my Mego and Mego-like heroes all around. When she saw the various other custom and Mego-like figures she went literally crazy and wanted to have them in the collection.

This obsession would later lead to me learning how to make my own figures by coming here and reading tutorials and years of experience.
though Dr. Mego does not to any of thee above anymore he is responsible for getting the engine started for me.
My daughter? She has grown up quite a bit but she makes her own customs and fixes figures here now.
