What if....

What if Mego had purchased the rights to Star Wars when it was offered to them in 1976 (Yes, they turned it down), and what if they not only made Star Wars figures, but also incorporated Star Wars characters into their Micronauts line? Would it look something like this....

My custom Micronauts, Greedo, or as I like to call him, Microdian. Very simple custom, just how I wanted it. I wanted it to look vintage. I colored a clear Time Traveler figure green, and then added the Kenner Greedo head and some modern Time Traveler glow in the dark hands and feet. If you notice, the Greedo head's ears are breaking, well, I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good vintage Greedo figure, unless I was happy with the turnout. I am, so I need to grab another Greedo with a nice head.

So whatcha think?

I think no one other than me would reply... [img]wink.gif[/img]

Well, I think you need to look at this custom through vintage glasses. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry I'm late.............

but yeah, I knew about Mego & Star Wars........
Is Mr. Mego still kicking himself?

Very cool custom~

that's a cool tidbit of trivia... and I like that custom, It works, I can imagien him chasing down a microman Han Solo, for some reason [img]tongue.gif[/img]


the glow-in-the-dark hands and feet suit it, too [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

And now the odd request for the Greedo comes to light!


Looks like a bad acid tripping episode of the Tele-Tubbies [img]wink.gif[/img]

He looks cool!

You did a great job making him look straight outta '77.

How're the rest of your Microman customs comin' along?

Actually, the request for THAT Greedo is for a different custom, which inspired this one. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Thanks guys!

SW, yes, I would imagine old Marty is still kickin' himself!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, pretty slow. I should have one done pretty soon. I still want to make a Ghost Rider, but have yet to even pick up parts for him. Those are about all that are still on my plate right now.

That is bad @ss!!! [img]cool.gif[/img]
