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 :)

*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.
