I normally would not be including custom-made items in my collection, but this piece is so nice I couldn't leave it out.This is a beautiful, Mego-sized custom Black Manta action doll (action figure + doll = action doll!) made by my friend Mark Sauter, as a way to say thanks for doing some logo designs for him. I had no idea this was coming until it arrived in the mail, along with an issue of Aquaman as a back-drop! The helmet, the uniform, the spear-gun...simply perfect. Now my loose Mego Aquaman and Aqualad have someone to fight.
Mark has made other customs for friends, and they're just as beautiful. I think he has a career in custom action dolls, if he wants it.

I was just thinking I'd love to see a Black Manta Hallowe'en costume.
i can imagine wearing a Black Manta headpiece would be even more claustrophobic than those old Don Post masks...
But you'd be so stylish!
