CustoMego Creations 2: Jackson Bostwick Shazam!

 

Welcome to Custom Mego Creations, a new series of “ how to” videos aimed at Mego Collectors and customizers. Since our inception over 20 years ago, the MegoMuseum has always embraced custom figures. We the practice change and evolve but the most important thing was that we weren’t responsible, it was the community itself, people sharing their techniques, their findings, their recipes, their talents, their hacks and most importantly, their time. CustoMego Creations is web series that serves a platform for our community of talented Mego makers and will hopefully inspire that creative energy in others. what we plan to have is guest hosts each week sharing their skills and ideas. We’re starting with a small group but plan to expand after that and hopefully, get this to be a weekly series. This Week’s episode we make a Jackson Bostwick Shazam! from the filmation television series,.

It’s an easy and fun one to make:

The Mego Museum Customego Hall of Fame

 

Megomuseum.com is proud to announce the creation of the Mego Museum Customego Hall of Fame.

Since its inception in 1997 Megomuseum.com has featured thousands of custom Megos created by hundreds of Mego customizers.  Armed with leftover parts, acrylic paints, Sculpey, and the mission to “fill in the gaps” in the lines Mego made legendary, customizers have played a vital role in the hobby reaching its enormous popularity and are the inspiration for the Re-Mego Renaissance we are experiencing today!

The Mego Museum seeks to recognize and honor these legendary customizers AND customs of the hobby.  So, without further adieu we present the inaugural Customego Hall of Fame class of 2018:

Distinctive Dummies unleashes the Night Stalker

Kolchak2

When i woke up this morning I had no inclination that it would be an expensive day but that was before Distinctive Dummies announced a small run of figures based on Kolchak: The Night Stalker. I’ve been waiting years for Carl.

http://www.distinctivedummies.net/kolchak.html

If Carl wasn’t enough, there is also The Night Strangler from the TV Movie of the same name.

Lasermego brings back the Fantasticar for Mego Meet

Four years ago, Laser Mego made a small amount of these working (and let’s face it, amazing) Fantasticars for the annual Mego Meet Convention. They sold out in an hour and were never heard from again.

Until now, where we get news that they’ve added this new version to the 2015 Aw Yeah Mego Meet Customs Auction (which we’ll spotlight all this week).

Does this mean more will be made available at the show? We have no idea if there will be, one thing is certain though, if you want one, you should be at Aw Yeah Mego Meet 2015 next Saturday.
