I wasn't going to post this but Huedell thought it was a cute idea and gave me the encouragement to post this funny story....
So.....
My daughter usually has a list of characters she wants me to make after reading my back issues of old comics. Since adobe acrobat transferring the whole collection from some guy who must have spent a good three years doing this. She has been able to read a lot of them on the computer and she has been giving me some off the wall requests.
The other day she said to me, "Dad we don't have an Earth Two Wonder Woman."
Thinking about it. We don't. I never really thought about it.
So I got a cheap naked Wonder Woman off eBay whose face was missing eyeballs. the paint must have faded. I bought an old suit from someone off this site. It was not bad. I had to do some surgery with some fabric glue.
Touching up Earth Two Wonder Woman's hair was tricky. I added small gray hairs to the dolls head that appeared to have some holes missing hair and here is the outcome... (as you can see, she has quite the collection and counting!)

For some reason she took this picture. She is obsessed with the precrisis JLA/JSA. I am not sure what it means. I think she was trying to pair them....:grin:

Hey Wrath---thanks for trhe "shout out"
I really don't think there's anything all that "strange" about
being into EARTH 2 WONDER WOMAN---I observe that the E2/JSA has a
big following and WW is one of the big characters of ANY universe that she inhabits! :)
Admittedly, I may be a bad guy to discuss "strange customs" with though
as my love for the DCU customs wanders into some "rare" territory.
YES, I count among my customs: KILLER MOTH, CLOCK KING and the less
quirky but just as much a background character in the DCU...FELIX FAUST
Maybe the "strange" thing to me, is not so much your daughters' attraction
to E2 and the JSA but the interest she has in vintage comicbooks.
I know when I was younger, stuff from two decades previous seemed
"ancient" and uninteresting in many ways---even when it came to superheroes.
Anyways--bless superheroes of any decade---and those are some more great pics
you've included above.
I see quite a few items and parts in those pics that I'd love in my own collection!
(I'm gonna get me one of those Leitner POWER GIRLS one of these days!)
Again, Good wishes to you and Wrath Jr. on your continued constructing
and collecting!

Thanks man! It is always great to hear that my kid's creative mind is giving people ideas.
I have been seeing a lot of members who have the Brian Leitner Powergirl costume. Check out dude's latest post about the JSA in this thread. I love how it was slipped over a Breyer girl. Very cool!!!
We are waiting for the Doctor Mego female bodies to arrive in Aug. and putting "her main list on hold"
It goes like this.
1. Huntress (E2 version. Batman's daughter)
2. Miss Marvel
3. Scarlet Witch
4. Cheetah (Priscilla Rich version)
5. Liberty Belle
6. Black Widow
7. Fury (E2 version. WW's daughter)
8. Jubilee
9. Dazzler (she wants a sparkly disco version) LOL
10. Wasp
11. Lois Lane
12. Giganta (This is going to be tricky)
13. Talia al Ghul
14. Zatanna
15. White Queen
16. Vixen
17. Queen Bee
18. Tygra
19. Spider-woman (Julia Carpenter version)
20. Live-Wire
You really don't want to see her super hero male list. It is longer....:)
So, if anyone has an idea while we are waiting for Dr. Mego in Sept. PM me. I am finding it easier to buy customs from some talented people on here instead of spending hours pasting one together and trying to make it not look like crap.

I think it is great that you and your daughter are working together on those, they look great. You might also suggest the original Huntress (Paula Crock) who was an enemy of Earth 2 Green Lantern.

Hey thanks man! I thought this thread was dead on the river! Always nice to hear someone giving me kudos for getting my kid into the mego action.
There will be more to come...:smiley1:
