    Unfortunately I don't have a website at the moment, though it is in my plans, but I my plate is usually full enough that it usually gets pushed off my priority list. Some of my stuff is on my Photo Bucket . Even that is a WIP, since I haven't uploaded everything from my old Image Shack account that decided to just randomly delete images yet. Anyhow, I do a lot of stuff for people over on Sideshow Freaks, and I am also working with william shatners toupee, whos a member over there as well as here, on some 1/6th scale stuff for his Warriors Gate Productions.

    I only did 1/6th scale clothing until Craig got hold of me at the beginning of the year, and asked if I was interested in working in this scale, so I gave it a shot, So I am fairly new to working in this scale, but I quite enjoy it. Actually, I hadn't even owned a Mego type figure since about 1980 when my little brother decided to play with my Mego Batman and Aqua Man in the local creek and they got carried of by the current, though the jerk did manage to come home Joker and Superman.

    No, I only did the Outfit for Adam West. But Craig has had me busy on some other stuff.

    He only did the costuming for the Adam West figure but I've got him working on some other prototypes that haven't been shown. I'm very impressed with the quality of his work.

    That base would be neat for display purposes. I hate to say it but a vinyl and cardboard playset wouldnt fit in with the hyper realism of the figures. Pretty much have to be what Ranger 3 has done here.

    And while we are requesting pics... Craig, any chance we can get a glimpse of Buck without his helmet?

The whole idea was to showcase the amazing Zica BR figures- we drew a little inspiriation from the old Mego Starfighter Command Center, but with an eye for making it much more like the actual hangar set from the Buck TV series.

    I can't wait to see what the display will look like with the starfighter in front of it, and also with the second wave of figures posing on it!

    The hangar display is a different story as no molds were made for it. However, it still might be possible to make them available but it all depends on the demand and the price.

    Both of these would be special order items.
    I would be definitely interested in one!!!

    They all look awesome!

    Also, thanks for posting the pictures wookilar8, the wait to finally see the complete Adam West figure was driving my wife crazy, which had her driving me crazy.

    Craig, I think I may need more than one of those because I know she will sneak him off to work with her to set on her desk.

    If there are plans to make a limited run of Starfighters available for sale, what about a limited run of these Hangar displays? I'd be in for one of those for sure!!!
    I'm still waiting on the actual production cost for the Starfighter but the tooling is being done in such a way that copies can be made. If the demand is there after the retail price is revealed I'll definitely make multiples of the ship. Once I have all of the details I'll be sure to post them here.

    These look outstanding. This is what should have been made back in '79, before the 3 3/4 format took hold and the 12" fad kicked in.
