Flickr: CUSTOM MEGO SHOWCASE

MCKENZIE MCKUSTOMS PRESENTS-SUPERGIRL

I had been wanting to produce a female Mego custom for quite some time now. I tried various Mego-like figures and nothing seemed to work to my specifications. As I often do when in a jam, I looked to the work of fellow Mego customizers I admire for inspiration. I found the solution to my problems in Mego's backyard. In Mego produced a fully articulated female action figure, Dinah-Mite. Dinah is cute, blond, and able to strike many a superheroic pose so, Bullseye! SG's entire outfit is modeled after late/great artist Michael Turner's version of The Maiden Of Might. handmade by myself, with the exception of the boots, which are modified Breyer Girl boots, and the Supergirl chest logo, courtesy of Doc Mego. I also banged out a custom card for SG, enclosed in Cast-A-Way Toy's Super Clamshell packaging. I hope ya' like Her :) I have a few more female Mego's planned, Stay tuned friends...
