THE MUMMY PHARAOH by McKenzie McKustoms, on Flickr

This figure was dreamed up by my two young nephews. I asked them to come up with an original character for their very own Mego custom, and this is the creepy character theY cooked up. The skeleton body is by CTVT Toys, Everything else is by Myself (bandaging wrap, gold skull emblem, sword, cloth cape, kilt, and the sculpted, hand painted head dress.) This is a pic of the figure loose, I will be posting pictures of the figure in his custom packaging shortly. This is another proud product of McKenzie McKustoms.

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...

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.
