Find Auctions for this ItemEight-Inch Dr. Doom Custom Mego Figure
This custom Mego action figure is a perfect representation of the arch nemesis of the Fantastic Four, Victor Von Doom a.k.a. Doctor Doom.
The overall simplicity of this custom Dr. Doom figure captures the essence of the character while still standing by the traditional style of Mego.
Custom Mego Doctor Doom Head Sculpt
Hooded characters present a problem for action figures with cloth outfits. An actual cloth hood is very hard to pull off in a miniature scale. In that regard, I like the custom molded Doctor Doom head sculpt that was created for Doctor Doom. The molded hood is a simple solution that still allows for a really nice head sculpt of the Fantastic Four's most dangerous villain.
The detail of the gray mask is perfectly Doom and totally menacing. The angry eyes peering out from behind the mask are neatly painted with just enough flesh tone around them to imply a human being behind that mask.
Mego Custom 8-Inch Dr. Doom Outfit Design
Doom is clad in his iconic green and grey outfit/armor. A one-piece gray bodysuit has been created for this custom Dr. Doom figure using a typical spandex-like material. A miniature snap at the base of the neck fastens the bodysuit closed.
Over the gray bodysuit, this custom Doom figure wears a green tunic made from a slightly stretchy fabric. This tunic also utilizes a single miniature snap at the base of the neck.
Doom's long green cape is cut from the same material as the tunic and has no stitching at all. Two metallic gold "buttons" are fastened onto the front of the cape.
Probably the worst feature of this custom Mego Dr. Doom figure is the gold "rope" that sits between the previously mentioned gold buttons. In this case, it's not a rope at all, but instead just feeble yellow stitching which is hardly noticeable. A nice actual piece of thin gold rope would fit the bill nicely.
A detachable plastic black belt with holster sits around Doctor Doom's waist.
Removable plastic gray gloves are included with this custom Doctor Doom action figure. These gloves seem to be gray repros of the the ones used for the actual 8-inch Mego Iron-Man figure.
Doctor Doom's removable boots are also sculpted from a gray plastic similar to his gloves. These boots appear to be repros of one of the Mego Knights figures. It's odd that the customizer decided to paint the boots silver and not the gloves.
Custom Mego Dr. Doom Body-type
This custom Dr. Doom action figure utilizes a type-2 Mego repro body with the standard fourteen-points of articulation (neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, groin, knees, and ankles). This is a really good quality body which is nice and tight and fully poseable.
Overall, a very nice Doctor Doom custom Mego action figure.
