Spider-Man 2021 Action Figure! The Making of a Custom Card! Marvel!

 The kooky Kenner folks have produced a new (as of 2021) line of Marvel action figures, complete with colorful 70s-themed artwork! I got the idea to design new cards for certain figures in the line, but featuring my own cosplay images! First up: Spider-Man! Click below to follow along, and enlarge images!

Above: The actual card and figure, as 
seen on store shelves!

Above: My custom card, using images of myself as
Spider-Man (seen here)! Created in Photoshop, with extra graphics
and elements added!

Above: The card, with figure added!

Above: The Spidey figure also needed custom touches, such
as work on his eyes, and a deeper blue suit motif!

"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!
