    HUNTRESS aka THE RETURN OF ED NAGY

    Hello Hugh "huedell" here----and I just recently recieved two long-awaited
    figures from my friend and hero ED NAGY

    Somehow he found the time to revisit my WISH LIST for 2 figures---
    (and I know its difficult for him to find time & inspiration---so I owe him huge
    gratitude)
    and there are some dang good pix for one of them: THE HUNTRESS

    I told Ed that I thought it was a beautiful custom (of course), but I wanted to
    add to that by saying to him that I thought HUNTRESS was a special
    WGSH "Megoesque" custom to attempt, as her popularity seemed (to me)
    to be really rooted in the Mego Era----her popularity back then in the comics
    seemed pretty hot for a 3rd(?) stringer character---and her appearance
    on the two LEGEND OF THE SUPERHEROES specials seemed pretty poignant.

    Add to that that her costume presents more of a challenge then, say,
    BLACK CANARY or ZATANNA....and, well, it makes for a very exciting
    "What If?" SUPERGAL custom.

    Now without further "to do"-----The pix! ENJOY!
    (Thanks Ed---I love ya!)

        Fantastic job by Ed! He nailed the original Earth-2 look of the Huntress to a tee!

          I gotta say, that I have no idea who the Huntress is, but I really like this doll! Very Mego-esque! Nice mask, great costume! Super job! Are the things on her belt held on by velcro?

            To give you HG (and other thread visitors) a bit more background---
            Wikipedia states..."The Silver Age Huntress was Helena Wayne, the daughter
            of the Batman and Catwoman of Earth-Two, an alternate universe
            established in the early 1960s as the world where the Golden Age stories
            took place."

            And, yes, even though the HUNTRESS character hasn't been quite popular
            enough for someone who didn't know much about superheroes to recognize
            her throughout the years, she indeed HAS been popular enough for DC to
            scoop her out of her alternate Earth-2 reality some times over the years to
            shoehorn her intriguing character into "our" Earth stories----such as that
            LEGENDS special made in the 70s-----or as JLU did a few years ago when
            they made her a part of the JL (changing her name and history so as to
            remove any blood relation to Batman and Catwoman)

            (She was on that recent show BIRDS OF PREY too in a "normal" Earth setting,
            I think)

            To answer your question regarding the belt pouches---when Ed sculpts
            3-D pieces for custom figures, he applies them with some kind of glue and/or
            adhesive that is almost like a double-sided sticker---
            (I'd guess that those kind of decorations would be too small for a velcro
            application attempt)

            Edited to articulate more about the adhesive(s)----and thanks to HG
            and everyone for the nice comments!

                Good to see Ed's work again - who is one of the best Mego-esque customizers.

                    Great Huntress. My kid's been wanting a Huntress figure and her's standing right over my shoulder telling me to get this one.

                      Dude. You just tormented my kid by posting that. She has been after a Huntress figure for years. I told her it was too much of an effort. Now she saw yours and I have to make one. I like how the original Huntress was approached on this figure. This is very smooth and has a "what if" mego feel to it.

                      Awesome my friend!

                        I love Huntress. Nice job. I did a newer JLU version. Had you thought about Sculpy for the mask? I like workingh with the stuff.

                        Always great to see Huntress

                              She totally rocks. That cape is impressive. You gotta submit her for the 1978 catalogue
