Hammer Dracula and Mummy Mego Style have arrived

Spock · January 27, 2013, 05:40:50 AM

My latest customs, Dracula Prince of Darkness and The Mummy done Mego style. This is my first run at Mego style customs and while a lot more difficult than 12 inch figures I am very happy the way they came out. Each one is numbered and limited to 50. Full details can be seen at http://www.distinctivedummies.net/megostyle.html
Hoping to get some feedback from the Mego guys on here

Ordered my Dracula! How can I resist this, it almost isnt fair. I would have snagged Mummy too, but I have been out of work due to knee surgery. Am I to assume we will be offered a Curse Of The Werewolf?

Order recieved Type3Toys. Yes, a Curse of the Werewolf and Curse of Frankenstein should complete the first set sometime in March. I have big ideas for the Mego style range that will go far and beyond Hammer characters

They look great and I can't wait to see what the others will look like. Wish I could sculpt and paint like that. There's a slew of Hammer and other horror icons that need to be done. The mind boggles...

Those are absolutely AMAZING. The packaging really pops as well. As a huge Hammer fan, I might have to order these for my birthday (which is coming up fast). If I can only get one, I might go for the Mummy. I have a 12 inch Chris Lee Dracula already. I recently picked up a repro Mad Monster Castle and I don't have a Mummy for it yet. Truly fantastic work. I don't know how you do it.

These are without a doubt the best Mego-style figures available. The figures and the packaging are both first rate. Keep it up, my friend!

Wow! Those look outstanding. Their likeness its amazing.....and I love the card-art.

Wow! Mark me down for one of each!

Thanks for al the kind words on these folks. And big thanks to those who have purchased or intended to purchase. I am really happy on the response I am getting. There is something about the Mego figures that gives me a great feeling and in many ways I prefer them to my 12" customs, so much so that a new set of four are in the planning stage. They will be non Hammer but I think you will like what I ome up with

Congratulations, those are fantastic.

Extremely cool pieces!! Love 'em!

comixzombie · January 30, 2013, 03:02:30 PM

These are fantastic.

But, I have one question. I saw someone on the Megomuseum say you were using CTVT bodies. Is that true?

jimm · January 30, 2013, 10:34:54 PM

What is a CTVT body?
