The Monkees! Custom Mego "Action Figures!" Davy Jones! Peter Tork!

Take a look at these colorful and fun custom "action figures" I assembled around 2005! It's the Monkees, created with an eye toward replicating the kind of product the prolific Mego corporation would have produced around the mid-70s, like their STAR TREK, WALTONS, and "World's Greatest Superheroes" line of toys!

Above: All four custom MONKEES 8-inch figures, sealed on carefully-crafted custom cards!

Above: Davy was made using a STAR TREK "Chekov" (what else?) action figure!
Tons of molding clay and added accessories were used to craft
the figure, along with lots of sculpting and painting!

Molding putty was used to craft Mike's hair, over a 70s STAR TREK "Bones McCoy"
head. A custom hat was added, then that head was used as the "master mold"
for the final plaster cast noggin! Clothes from the 70s STARSKY & HUTCH Mego 
line were used for his threads!

Peter sports a custom-made psychedelic top, made
from some paisley-patterned material!

was used for Micky, "Bones McCoy" was turned into Mike, and "Luke Duke"
was crafted into Peter!
