    from GramercyPlace: Teen Ttians Customs!

    Just recieved in my inbox this morning :

    From GrammercyPlace (Mike): I was hoping you could post these Teen Titan images for me! I finally got around to taking some shots.
    I shrank the FTC Disco Nightwing Head by dunking it in Naphtha for about 2 weeks to get it into proportion and I’m very happy with the results.
    The Wondergirl with the bangs and ponytail reroot is a recent custom. The star spangled shorts are just carefully folded 4th of July mini-flag fabric with some double sided fabric tape.
    I wasn’t happy with the FTC Raven head so she was also swapped out for a more cheerful 70’s Dollikin noggin.
    Robin is a hodgepodge of FTC parts with Leitner’s suit. The teen Robin head is perfect on the 8-inch body.
    And now the Pictures:

    Nightwing and Wonder Girl:

    Collection of Wonder Girls and Hippolyta

    Raven (with FTC Cyborg)

    Robin and WonderGirl

    and a bonus: Custom Made Aqualad and Bat-Girl (Bette Kane)

    He did a most excellent job!! I love both his Wonder Girls!!!
    So much that I'll overlook the straight arms ( which I loathe)

          ^ I think that's a vintage Daisy Duke re-root. Really sweet stuff, those Dollikin heads are good options, too.

            I think with her hair up she would make a nice Star Trek Janice Rand custom.

                  These are all wonderful! I'm inspired by several of these ideas.

                  She looks better as a blonde.

                    The bodies used for Wondergirl... are they new? Also, are they titans scale? The first pic is AWESOME! The Wondergirl is perfect outfit wise. Looks like it was made on the body that's how perfect it is. Very nice work. I'd buy these

                      I thought the same thing! I had a second Daisy head that had been rerooted similarly, and decided to make a Nurse Chapel. BBT had made a blue dress Star Trek costume for one of their figures, so it was an easy kitbash.
