    Bub... MEGO style

    Any child of the 70' remember MEGO toys (8" spider-man, super man, batman etc.). I decided to make Bub using a MEGO body and some spit and glue....
    I sculpted the head and did the paint myself... I never did get around to casting, so this is just paint over Super Sculpty. I also want to age the jacket and pants and find a proper chain.

    Nice work. Gotta love the Mego style, and your Bub is a great interpretation of that style.

    It's hard to tell from the photos, but you may want to smooth out the detail before casting. The heads on those 70s Megos had a smoother, rubbery look. Paint job looks perfect, though.

    Any other characters in the works?
