John Horus... Info?

[jimsmegos]

Just came across this guy on ebay and was curious about his Re-Mego origins. He looks to made of Dr. Mego parts and clamshell but I had missed this one along the way. Doc? Anyone?

I'm pretty sure he was a comic book character.

Doc Mego did indeed make this. It is legit.

[drmego]

It is an abomination and I am ashamed of it.

It was a bad comic put out by a tiny company that also does
a Night of the Living Dead comic. It was made as a SDCC
exclusive - there is a blood spattered version too.

^^^^
dont worry doc,your emce ,and bif bang pow ,and input to mattel far makes up for your little blooper,i made a blooper also,i bought one.

[jimsmegos]

My curiosity has gotten the better of me. I just ordered one from Big Bad Toy store for $7. come on Doc, is it really that bad?

BUmmer, they're sold out of it now. Jim, I think this needs to be your next figure review. I dunno, despite what the Dr. says, there is something charming about this little John Horus figure.

They pop up on Amazon once in a while too... I bought one a couple of years ago, I dig him! I have him next to my Captain Mercury figure!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

it is worth it just for teh parts. i picked one up at a comic shop for $5.00
I don't think it is a badly made figure at all Doc. just not a known character

[Boywonder0]

The figure is not bad at all. There is something to it that catches your eye. I had seen one here (Puerto Rico) at a local Comic Shop.

I've got one, nothing to be ashamed about, Doc! All part of the Dr. Mego/EMCE history and I'm glad I have one in my collection!

[drmego]

What was bad was that we didn't have time to get it done right.
The jacket should have been military or Sgt. Pepper instead of
me gluing pieces of gold onto a labcoat.

The helmet should have been done in China, but there was no
time to get it done.

[jimsmegos]

Just got it in and hmm. I see your points. I was actually just discussing those same points you mentioned with the wife before I saw that you had posted.

Still all of your existing work is still top shelf (body, boots, gloves, head etc...) but that poor helmet and "visor". I see and feel your pain.

I like the comic and like that the figure exists... Although it could have been improved to better reflect the crazy artwork of Jyan Jose Ryp (whs obviously heavily influenced by Geoff Darrw), it does have some Mego charm to it. Wish the line had continued to perhaps include othe Back Summer or Warren Ellis avatar characters... Like Gravel, Doctor Sleepless or Anna mercury.

[JediJaida]

Now, now Doc, don't get in a dither.

The figure, from what I could see of it, wasn't that bad!

Okay, there's room for improvement, but you were operating under a deadline most likely, and did the best you could with what you had.
