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:
