CUSTOM SONIC MAN MEGO FIGURE

Sonic Man fan extraordinaire kryptosmaster (again, an email handle, not a real name) sent me an email about a month ago about a project he was doing.  A custom Mego figure of our patriarch SONIC MAN!  What's a Mego figure?  It's a type of action figure that dominated the market in the mid-70's to the mid-80's.  The figures had rubber heads, highly moveable, plastic bodies and removable clothing.  Mego made figures of DC & Marvel superheroes (among many other licensed properties), so it just fits that there be a Mego of Charlotte's own superhero: SONIC MAN!  Well, kryptosmaster sent me some pics of the finished product and man...they are really amazing!  All I have to say is VIBROTAN!  Look at the detail in the vest, the SONFLEXACTOR (belt communicator), the cape...I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!  What do you think?  Check out the other pics below:

He seems pensive here...concentrating his sonic powers.

SONIC MAN FAN ART PART TWO

Now here is a really cool item.  Sharp-eyed Sonic-Fan LedyBetterLedy (again not a real name, just an email handle) sent me this along with a note about the below art from Schmooly Stan.  Seems the ol' Schmoolynator made it using a website.  LedyBetterLedy (hereafter LBL) went to the same website and made one representing the color scheme of the Sonic Man costume present in the famous Charlotte Christmas Parade video (a still from it is in a previous post).  He even said he used the information from our website to make it!  I think this looks VIBROTAN!  Seriously, I had no idea this variant coloring would look so good.  WCCB was employing a design genius who is still completely lost to history.  I also like how Sonic Man is stepping out of a haze of TV static, no doubt similar to the one many Charlotte kids saw him weave in and out of every afternoon after school.  Thanks to digital TV signals, you can't even see static on your TV anymore!  Anyway, big  TIVSERV to LBL!  Keep the emails coming, folks!

SONIC MAN FAN ART

 Finally got around to posting this awesome piece of art sent to me by "SchmoolyStan" (that's his email handle and he didn't want his real name used).  Here we see our patriarch SONIC MAN stepping out of some type of sonic cloud, direct from Utor, ready to play some awesome cartoons, do some Utorian martial arts moves and just blow your mind.  Great drawing, SS!  Thanks for the email and thanks for letting me use this on the site.
