How embarrassing - they both turned up at the Venusian Ambassador's ball in matching space sleds |
Storm and Davis - just good friends |
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

:D Ive just bought Storm on a treet market, a little dirty and oily, but with a little patience it will be good as new. Or maybe I just leave him show his age with pride. but the helmet is missing.
ReplyDeleteWell done on being reunited with an old friend, Manuel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting pics on the blog - they gave me a good painting reference for the figures eyes (my father's original isn't in the greatest shape).
ReplyDeleteI did some cleanup on my fathers' 'Storm' (red suited figure). He always thought it was 'Major Matt Mason' as a kid. :)
It too was missing a helmet - but I noticed the Lost In Space (1990s film) figure had a very similar looking helmet - it's opening is the exact diameter to fit any MMM figure. It's a good alternative to tracking down a vintage helmet.
I did a recast of a vintage one for use on a custom Major 'Storm' for my father: Using a resculpted DC Universe Doctor Cold body, and a recast head, it looks great. I'll be posting some photos on my gallery in the coming weeks.

Replica helmets are available from various sources and are practically indistinguishable from the real thing.
