YEah, I screwed up on Aquaman and forgot to add his glove cuffs ('cause I HATE the oven-mitt look) Any good glove ideas for old Arthur Curry?

Faust needs his shoes painted orange. Does this type of rubber take paint very well??? I was experimenting a bit with the Two-Face suit, my seamstress didn't follow my instructions too well and sewed it like a regular bodysuit, or my design was off, take your pick, LOL...

My Super Powers inspired Justice League suits! Any good ideas for a Batman cape that matches this light blue color?!? Any direction would be appreciated.

Your suits look good, great designs, but you gotta work on the saggy bunched up area tween the legs, and a bit of adjusting at the arm pits. Don't fret you'll be throwin these things out like mad in no time

What Ed said. Other than that they look pretty impressive

Exciting pics man!
I can't remember if I suggested this to you or spiderougue
--- or both of ya---
.....having your seamstress look at a "real" mego bodysuit for
an example?
It might be the way to go----worked for me on my SINESTRO suit.
(Worked on a BRAINIAC too except I used the wrong kinda material
and had it switched)

THey look nice. On Two Face, i think a jacket ala Mego's Joker would work better, tho.

Thanks for the comments & tips everyone!

Hugh- I sent a DM body suit and a CTVT doll to the seamstress--I did say I wanted the suits to fit tighter than the DM suit, which I can tell she sewed it a bit tighter/smaller. But then I went and added new arms & torsos to some of those figures (Bats, Supes, Manhunter) and I think it threw off some of what she designed it to fit--the smaller CTVT body. Oh well, live and learn...

thunderbolt- I hear ya on the Two-Face/jacket. Just trying something out to see if it could work.

Very nice!

For Aquaman, try adding Green Arrow-type cuffs from green beach-toy vinyl.

Faust's shoes can be dyed with household dye to a dark color--I wouldn't paint them. But why not use black (or brown versions) of the same shoe?

For Gloves you might want to experiment with Vinyl dip with a nude body, thats the liquid vinly in a can used to to recover plyiers or insulate tool handles.

it air dries

Aquamans gloves= Cast away toys new gloves would seal the deal perfectly.
