Green Lantern: John Stewart head on a Kyle Rayner body-the hair was
sculpted
on and the shoulders were bulked up to match the Green Lantern body
type.
This was a quick and fun piece for me-comic book aficionados will
recognize
the design as John Stewart's costume from the short-lived "Green Lantern Mosaic" comic of the early 1990's.
Black Panther: Atom-Smasher head with sculpted ears on a Metamorpho
body.
Quicksilver: Sinestro figure with the top of the noggin sliced off and
replaced with the hair from an Arkis Chummuck figure. I should have
sanded
down the belt line on Sinestro, but that's laziness for you.
Nova: Like Thor from the last CustomCon, Nova was an excuse to use up
one of
those elbow-jointed figures that I loathe so much. The body was a Green Lantern with the joints superglued, shaved down, and resculpted, and thehead came from a Batman with a sculpted helmet. The star is cut
plastic. I
spent a long time trying to make a neck peg for the head, but finally
got
frustrated and glued the thing on, so no neck articulation here. At
least
he can swivel at the waist if he wants to look to the side.
Scarlet Witch: The body is from a Black Canary, which I sliced in half
at
the midriff, glued a 1/8' plastic bit in between the halves, and
sculpted
over to give a little more height. The arms are from an Anastasia
figure,
which I used for the long gloves and the fact that the hands are a
little
more interesting for hex-casting poses. The head and cape came from a
Wonder Woman, and the headpiece is vinyl, with a sculpted lock of hair
falling over it.
Sleepwalker: I liked the look of the Riddler figure from The Batman line
so
much that I bought it without knowing what I'd be using it for. Then
one
day, going through some old comics, I rediscovered Sleepwalker. The
angular, gangly body fit perfectly. I switched the head for a Martian
Manhunter, sculpted over the nose, smoothed out the Riddler's costume
lines,
and sculpted the hood, cloak, gloves, sash and boots. I'm really happy
with
the way this turned out - it's a great design for such a lame character.
