Here is my attempt at creating a custom "Mego" action figure of the great Spider-Man foe, the Vulture! The Mego gang only provided frantic fans with Spidey enemies The Lizard and Green Goblin in the mid-70s, but what if they had shot out more Spidey bad guys? Click each image below to enlarge!
 |
| Above: Believe it or not, I started with a bald “Thor” head, added putty for larger nose, ears, brow, and facial details, made a plaster cast of that modified head, then painted! |
 |
| Above: A custom green suit (from "Dr. Mego") got some ink and pastel treatments to create a gradated “feathered” effect, then, I added some white tufts for the crest! I eliminated the neck, in order to attach the head low on the white crest, to create a hunched effect for the figure! |
 |
| Above: I used green felt to carefully cut the wing shapes, affixing them to the back of the figure...I also used some custom "open" hands from “Doctor Mego,” in an effort to craft the proper body language for this super-villain! |
 |
| Above: I also created a custom package for displaying the figure, using Silver Age art by John Romita, Sr.! |

| Above: A close-up of the custom card art by itself! |
