"TV Incredible Hulk" Mego Action Figure Custom! Lou Ferrigno Lives!

I had lots of fun creating my own customized Mego action figure based on the 70s live-action TV version of the ever-incredible Hulk! Click each image to enlarge!










Above ten images: Using a wonderful fan-made head sculpt (found years ago on eBay),
one made to resemble Lou Ferrigno in the role of the Hulk, I applied a basic
green coat, followed by some light overhead highlights, and lower
darker shading. Next came detailing  the hair, eyes, brows and teeth!



Above: The finished complete figure! Using Mego's basic 1975
Hulk body (after it was painted and detailed to match the new head),
the look is complete!





Above: Some gloss paint was added to the eyes and teeth,
creating an even more realistic look!

 








Above: The figure on its own custom card! I love to create graphics
that are very bold and direct, like Mego's original packaging from
the early 70s!

as my base figure for this customization!

More Mego Madness! Custom Action Figures and Packaging! DC! Marvel!

Back again with more images of my many past superhero action figure customizations! Click images below to enlarge!

Above: It's the classic Spidey foe, the Shocker! Made from a re-casting of a Mego
"Spider-Man"  head, with home-made costume and accessories! 


Above: Another Spidey foe, Doc Ock! Made using a re-casting of
a Mego "Hulk" head, with custom costume and packaging!


Above: Black Bolt! Made using a re-cast of a Mego "Captain
America" head, with a home-made costume!


Above: Daredevil! Created using another re-casting of a Mego "Captain
America" head sculpt, with a custom costume, including re-painted
"Mr. Fantastic" gloves and boots!


Above: The smaller superhero set! It's Hawkeye, Ant-Man, and Yellowjacket!
Made using available Toy Biz figures of the day (mid-90s), and a SECRET WARS
figure (for Ant-Man), these were fun to create, using found objects, accessories
made from Bristol board, and lots of patience!



Above: More fun customizing existing figures! This time it's the 
Vision (made from a "Silver Surfer" figure), Giant Man
(using a large-scale "Captain America" figure), and 

Bucky (using a SECRET WARS "Captain America" body, and a 
Kenner "Robin" head)! Added home-made capes , belts, and 
accessories created fun figures not available then!



Above: Let's turn to the DC heroes! Here are Reverse-Flash (using a 
Kenner "Flash" figure), Kid Flash (making use of a "Riker" 
STAR TREK figure), Aqualad (using same), and the Atom (from a "Flash" figure)! 
Lots of creative painting, sanding, accessorizing, and fun!
