This week the Spotlight shines on a custom and customizer for a different reason. While the work is indeed impressive and deserves spotlight time for that alone, we want to focus on the gesture. So this week, the Spotlight hits Fred Goodspeed and his custom Moon Knight. Fred made this guy as a gift for a friend and fellow megohead who was going through a rough patch, just to give him a little pick me up in his day. Good show Fred!

This month, we get a chance to talk with one of the pioneers of custom Mego's, Anthony McElveen.

Anthony goes about his customizing quietly, so doesn't often get the attention he deserves as a sculptor, tailor, painter, and all around quality customizer.

Take the opportunity to get to know Anthony and his work a little better as we feature him as Customizer of the Month for May.
