    Nightwing -- early 1990s Justice League Task Force era

    So, during The New Titans 86, 87, and 88 story arc, Starfire convinces Nightwing to modernize his look. "It's the '90s out there sweetheart," she whispers in his ear, "...and it's time you finally joined up."





    I really enjoyed the idea behind the Justice League Task Force even though if failed to produce a lasting title. And, I especially like Nightwing being in the group. I thought he was a perfect fit.



    Nightwing is built on a Mego Type 2 body with hands painted blue; his head is an enlargement of a Nightwing head from the DC Direct Knightfall Batman line with paints by me; and his suit is by yours truly. As an homage to the Mego Batman I used that Bat logo for his belt buckle. I also left the under-arm "wings" off, similar to the DC Direct figure. Just not a fan.

    Oh yeah, and I made sure to include his pony-tail.

    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

      Very nice take on the character, Austin! And who couldn't love that last shot of NW by JLGL. I just didn't realize, until seeming that image, that he had a mullet! LOL!
      sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

          hey, cool figure, but why was the mullet still in in the 90s? Maybe the DCU is 10 years behind Earth Prime?

                          Look at that! There ya go! Woo-hoo you tackled that version of Nightwing. What would look really cool if you got out a pair of light blue batman boots and cut them down the center like "V" to fit the yellow pattern on the silk screen. Then that particular Nightwing would be perfecto. (not saying he sucks now but an idea?) Love the figure! Keep them coming!

                              Do you have a link to that? I would like to see that. I'm waiting for Figures Toy Company to do a disco Nightwing.
