View Full Version : 1/6 Mary Marvel & Captain Marvel Jr Customs

After completing the Invaders and the Liberty Legion, I recently turned my attention to Fawcett's Marvel Family; below are a few pics of my Captain Marvel Jr and Mary Marvel DC Direct-style 1/6 figures.
I was able to snag a nude DCD Robin base figure for $20 recently (a complete figure runs well over $100!), which I then converted into Captain Marvel Jr. The boots, wrist bands and belt were taken from an extra DCD Shazam/Captain Marvel, the cape was made by removing the gold trim from a Captain Marvel cape and re-sewing it to a hand-made red cape.

Mary was made from a DCD Supergirl with a re-painted head. The costume is entirely hand-made (with some trim added from another excess Captain Marvel cape), the boots are re-painted Black Canary boots, and the cape is from a DCD Captain Marvel.

Finally, here's a shot of the Marvel Family (no Uncle Dudley or Lieutenant Marvels, though!). The Captain Marvel figure is, of course, DCD's original release.

May have to make a Black Adam now! For anyone interested in checking out my other customs, see the thread here:

Ditto ... look store bought. Great family shot.

Have just started to get into collecting Megos, but all of this has inspired me ... I think I'd like to try a few customs and have some ideas already.

Thanks for the kind words, all!
I'm finding that the satisfaction I'm getting from customizing my own figures beats anything I've experienced buying manufactured collectibles. I'm currently working on the Spectre, I'll post it here when it's complete.
