Wasn’t until the mid 90’s when McFarlane finally made one. Here’s a character I always wanted a toy for. I also try and do custom cards for all my figures to finish the ‘illusion’ that the figures are original. I also prefer to try and capture the simplicity that original Mego figures have – the unique ability to create a distinct likeness of a character using minimal details. Many of my customs use 100% manufactured parts with just simple painted heads. With the proliferation of parts and figures from Classic TV Toys and Doc Mego, you can find an amazing array of ways to create new figures that look like they were manufactured by Mego. What I really like to do is Kitbash – find existing parts and mix-and-match them to create entirely new figures. I generally leave things like painting or casting to the experts (like DaveMc!) because when I do it myself, I tend to be disappointed. The problem is that my skills in customizing are far below the result I see in my minds-eye. I would not call what I do “customizing” in the traditional sense I do very little actual manipulation or creation of parts.
