My Son's first custom. "Link" from Zelda games.

[noelani72]

So, inspired by MegoMeet 2009, my son and I got some clay, resin, and mold making material.
The head is a hybrid. We cast Green Goblin and Robin heads.
He used a Dremil to cut the heads in half, and used some clay to shape em up, make the hair. Once he was done, made a mold and poured a casting.

He came up with the tunic and total outfit.
I think he canibalized his CTVT Robin Hood figure for the boots & belt stuff.

I did the head paintjob (my first time, be gentle ;-)
At the last minute, he worked up the sheild out of clay, baked it, painted it.

He was going to debut tomorrow at Mego Meet, but couldn't wait.

That is amazing, i recognized it right away, my nephew loves the Zelda Games and i play as link a bunch in the Smashdown game.

Nice! Link is a character that lends himself well to the Mego format. Heck, if Mego had worked out a videogame success with Nintendo, maybe they would have been making Link figures today!

[Meule]

Totally cool, tell Sean he did an amazing job. I hope to see more work from him

[noelani72]

Thanks folks! He's gonna show him off tomorrow probably.
