MCKENZIE MCKUSTOMS PRESENTS-REB BROWN AS CAPTAIN AMERICA

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. The shield is also from a plastic bottle cut to Mego scale and adorned with decals i picked up on the Mego Museum boards. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to making h is motorcycle :) Hope you Likey! ;)

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.

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.
