As part of TOYHEM!, we’re bringing you a series-within-a-series — the Custom Mego Box of the Day, by 13th Dimension contributor and customizer extraordinaire Anthony Durso.
Custom Mego Box of the Day #9 was inspired by Crisis on Infinite Earths. Click here.
And, now we bring you Custom Mego Box of the Day #10:
SIX-ARMED SPIDER-MAN
—
Says Anthony: This was done for a custom figure I made about 15 years ago. I think I was the first to do a six-armed Spider-Man in Mego format. At the time I made a wider box to showcase the arms fully extended but I’ve since switched to this standard size box.
Says Dan: Even though I had almost all there was to have on the 8-inch Mego Batman front, Spider-Man was one of my absolute fave figs and I wanted to make sure Peter Parker got represented in this series. He also goes really well with this pair. So dig this box — Gil Kane art and all!
