HEROES MEGOS



Hey Guys and Gals, I'm a big fan of the NBC show Heroes, so I decided to make some Mego like figures based on two of the shows main characters, Sylar, and Nathan Petrelli AKA Flying Man. The headsculpts on both figures are hand sculpted, and painted by Myself, the bodies are CTVT, the clothing on both figures are Mego repros that I custom tailored to meet my needs. The backing card art is also created by yours truly. Super Clamshell packaging courtesy of Cast-A-Way Toys. I plan on making more Heroes customs one of these days, right now my work bench is swamped. PHEW! Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking!

MEGO MUSEUM CUSTOM OF THE WEEK-STRAIGHT ARROW


I woke up this morning, checked my E-Mail, then made my way over to one of my favorite online haunts, Megomuseum.com. As the name implies, Mego Museum is THE place to go for anything Mego. I'm a member of the forums at the museum, and I post my custom work there from time to tme just for the heck of it. Well, long story short, this morning I found out that one of my recent customs (Straight Arrow-Golden Age star of Radio and comic books) is featured as Megomuseum.com's Custom Of The Week! I'm super thrilled, and honored to be chosen. I have been admiring the work of the ultra talented customizers on the forum for years, hoping one day my custom work might be given the spotlight. It may not sound like a big deal to everyone out there, but to me, it's a personal achievement that I'm very proud of. Thank YOU guys, and keep up the great work at the Museum ! :)

FEATURED CUSTOM - ORION

This is my first official post here at the McKenzie McKustoms blog, and I hope you enjoy :) First custom up to bat is my custom Mego style Orion figure. For those of you not in the know, Orion was created by the legendary King Of Comics, Jack Kirby (R.I.P), and is just one of the colorful cast of characters appearing in the classic DC Comics series, The New Gods. Orion also happens to be the son of the dreaded Darkseid, and one grade 'A' certified bad ass! Orion's head is hand sculpted, and painted by yours truly. The suit, gloves, and boots are repro Mego parts I custom tailored, modified, and repainted.
