MATTEL DUMPS DC RETRO ACTION FIGURES!

As a fellow Mego fan I'm sure you can agree with me, Mattel's decision to call off their 8" Mego inspired DC Retro Action figures just plain SUCKS!!!!! Oh well, look at it on the positive side, We finally got a Mego style Flash, Green Lantern, Cheetah, Captain Cold, Two-Face, Darkseid, Martian Manhunter, Lex Luthor, Black Manta, and others, so things ain't that bad, I guess....

Meanwhile, check out this cool Video petition put together by a few guys over at Megomuseum.com. I'm sure You'll enjoy, and remember to make sure your voice is heard!

MCKENZIE MCKUSTOMS PRESENTS-GREEN ARROW!

Hey Boys and Gals, this is my custom, Mego style Green Arrow figure. This figure sports the duds I dig the most on Ollie, The same introduced in the classic, Green Arrow-The Longbow Hunters, by living legend, Mike Grell. Ollie's suit is a modified Brian Leitner number. I added green felt collar accents to his V-Neck, Boot tops, and the lower half of the characters top/Loin cover. His belt is handmade, including the buckle which I sculpted and painted. GA's gauntlets are also by yours truly. I painted and cut up some cheap fabric I found at the local five and dime that has a vinyl look, trying to stay true to the Mego roots. The figure also features an original Mego Green Arrow head that I repainted and sculpted a hood on. Bow and arrow set is by CTVT Toys, along with the boots which I repainted and added accents to. Last but not least, Green Arrow's Body is an original Mego T2. I hope You like Him :)
