I've shown a few of my own custom Mego-like action figures before, but here is a look at the custom packaging I've created for many figures (old and new) over the years! Click each to enlarge!
Above: A custom Riddler card is used to display the new (as of 2014) action figure produced by the Figures Toy Co. firm (who are re-offering the original Mego Bat-figures to today's collectors and fans)! I again used great mid-60s Infantino graphics, in an attempt to evoke the flavor of the 70s Riddler Mego packaging! |
Above: It's the classic Aquaman card again! Aqualad's card sports nifty Nick Cardy TEEN TITANS art!
Above: It's the classic Aquaman card again, but this time it's paired with the new Mattel figure (left)! Captain Marvel (right) looks sharp on his own custom card, also! |
Above: A classic 1973 Spider-Man figure has his choice of two card styles! One with 60s Steve Ditko (Spidey's co-creator) art, or a snazzy card with jazzy John Romita Sr. artwork! |
Above: Why should Spidey have all the fun? Here is his arch foe, the grinning Green Goblin (original 1974 figure), on his own custom card, with flawless art by John Romita, Sr.! |
Above: A custom Captain America is seen on two card types, both spotlighting 60s comic art by Jack Kirby, Cap's 1940s co-creator! |
Above: More madcap Marvel Megos! Spidey foes the Rhino and Vulture (both customized figures) get custom cards, with more Romita art featured, while Thor and Ant-Man (also a custom) get the Kirby treatment! Iron Man is an original 1975 Mego figure, while Dr. Strange, a custom job, is seen on his own occult-culled card with more riotous Romita art! |
Above: My box art for my custom Rhino and Doc Ock Mego figures! Made to look like the "real thing," if Mego had ever produced these figures! |
