It's good ol' Hank Pym himself, ANT MAN! Here he is, re-imagined as a custom "Mego style" action figure, made by me! One of Marvel's early Silver Age heroes uses a custom head (from the now-defunct NotDolls.com site), and "Dr. Mego" boots and basic red outfit. The black portions of the outfit were done in paint markers, and the belt is custom-built! I went with black (instead of blue) for the accessories, since this simply works better in 3-D, and also make the suit seem more of a "work outfit," as opposed to flashy superhero togs!

I had the same gentlemen provide me a kick-ass Antman custom as well.. I'm updating the suit a bit (not a big fan of silkscreening), but he's still GORGEOUS, great head/helmet sculpt.
I haven't done a Yellowjacket yet. I made a SUPERB Famous Covers one from a recipe of parts and some basic puttywork.
Those Mego display shells are really nice especially the Antman one.
