Hey Guys, I'm back again with another custom Mego! This time around it's Captain America, as portrayed by Reb Brown in the two TV movies Marvel produced in the 70's. Cap is movie authentic with transparent shield, and motorcycle helmet! The body is from Cast-a-way Toys, plain blue bodysuit by Doc Mego, with alterations by myself, gloves are also hand made with some funky shiny pleather i had lying around. Boots are Cast-a-Way painted red, and now for the fun stuff....Caps helmet is an Evil Knievel helmet I chopped up and painted blue. His head is a vintage Hutch head i molded a cowl onto and painted. The wings on the helmet are craft foam,with prismacolor detail work, and the visor is clear plastic i cut from a soda bottle.

*For those not familar with the character here is a brief backstory from ComicVine..

In 1940, Will Eisner produced a special comic book section that was designed as an insert for Sunday newspapers around the country. The 16 pages of material consisted of an eight page Spirit story by Will Eisner, a four page Lady Luck story, initially by Dick French and Charles Mazoujian, and a four page Magician called Mr. Mystic. The green-clad heroine was later drawn by Nick Cardy, then taken over by Klaus Nordling, who became best known of her artists.

The character was part of the newspaper strip section until 1946, when it was eliminated as the section dropped to eight pages.The stories were reprinted by Quality Comics in the pages of SMASH COMICS and LADY LUCK COMICS until 1950. Since then, a few collector's editions have reprinted samples of the material.

Here is a little background on The Owl I pulled up on Wikipedia for those of you unfamiliar with the character..

One of the few original characters to be published by Dell, The Owl first appeared in Crackajack Funnies #25 (July, 1940); Owl Girl debuted in issue #32 (February, 1941). After Crackajack ended, the duo appeared in Dell’s Popular Comics, from issue #72 (February, 1942) to #85 (March, 1943).

In the 1960s, Gold Key Comics revived The Owl and Owl Girl, inspired by the success of the Batman TV series. The two issues of Gold Key’s The Owl — in which the duo was shown in campy, self-parodying stories — came out in April, 1967, and April, 1968. In the 1970s, The Owl appeared in issue #22 of Gold Key’s The Occult Files of Doctor Spektor.

In 1999, The Owl appeared in issue #17 of the AC Comics title Men of Mystery Comics. Most recently, The Owl is one of many public domain characters to appear in Dynamite Entertainment’s 2008 miniseries Project Superpowers.

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 ! :)
