    THE T.V./MOVIE HEROES! Bustin' out of your T.V. screen!

    Hey Guys!

    I had these posted on our old Mego Museum forum a few years ago and figured I'd post them here on our new board since the old one is in accessible now and because we have a ton of new members since then.

    These are some custom 8-inch Megos based on the live-action Superheroes. These were made with the help of many talented people here. The great DaveMc did the painting; Anthony at Toy Room made the awesome cards; heads came from Russ and Austin at Reproheads; and most of the costumes were made by Brain (bleit)! Also assisting were Thomas (Meule), Starbuck, and Paul Clare (Hulk)! So here they are! Thanks to all you talented people who made these possible back then!

    THE GROUP SHOTS




    CHRISTOPHER REEVE as SUPERMAN



    HELEN SLATER as SUPERGIRL



    MICHAEL KEATON as BATMAN



    LYNDA CARTER as WONDER WOMAN



    JOHN WESLEY SHIPP as THE FLASH



    TOBEY MAGUIRE as SPIDER-MAN



    LOU FERRIGNO as THE HULK



    BEN AFFLECK as DAREDEVIL



    JACKSON BOSTWICK as SHAZAM



    I hope you enjoy these pics! One day I hope to add a few more to this set like Downey's Iron Man and The Fanatastic Four movies' likenesses.

    I will also post my set of Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman customs soon too!

        Very cool. Really like the Helen Slater Supergirl and the Ferrigno Hulk. TV accurate and very Mego like. The astronaut head with darker hair really would have caught the Bostwick look. I think he actually needs one of those stupid CTVT smiles though. It almost would have fit the look. Nice work all around!

            Those are Excellent. I remember those well from when you debuted them. I think of them often. They are so bright, clean, sharp and accurate models of the characters. Classics!

                            Thanks Anthony but it is your cards that really make them all stand out...what a project that was finding those pics of the heroes back then huh?

                              They all look great, but I have to say the Hulk looks the best. Perfect job!
