        Looks nice. Thanks! What body and face did you use? Is that castaway stuff?

            I'd know that head anywhere! She's one of Doc Mego's!

            Excellent job on the re-root, and the costume is too cute!

            Dunno about the body. I'd be able to tell by the wrist pins, though.

            Vintage bodies, and CTVT bodies have really small wrist pins, but DM's has larger ones.

              I think Austin did one using one of his silkscreen suits and used a Glenda head.

                It's been a few years now, but I made a few, this is the only pic I have though. the head was from hobby lobby i think. I never liked the head but this was pre-dr.mego supergirl heads so it was get what you can.

                the reference pic was from her first appearance.

                  Nice suits in two techniques, guys. Brian, the embroidery/appliques are an inspired touch!

                  Ed, I was VERY impressed by the Giganta you did several months ago with the sculpted hair.

                  Would you consider doing Poison Ivy in a similar way, perhaps based upon Invisible Girl?

                  Just wondering...

                    Thanks, I love the "screen" suit. Not sure I can do that or really how. Not a real artist. I think I like the combination of the two. The body of the first and the suit of the second. Thanks again for the ideas!

                      Ed, I like that the leaves cover the torso. If I could have found enough leaves in the right scale I would've attempted to glue them on. I settled for a few here and there.

                      Her head is a re rooted DR Mego head, the body is vintage Mego. The pattern on her legs were painted.

                        Nice to see two different approaches to the character...
