Can't believe I never made her before; just a bigger DC fan, I guess. The classic version is pretty basic, especially when you can steal the stingers and the belt from a Marvel Legends figure.
The stinger/wristbands posed a challenge, though. They fit the Mego wrists fine but wouldn't go over the hands, especially once they were gloved. I wanted to avoid cutting the wristbands if I could, so I had to sew the sleeves, pull the glove part onto the hand, then pop the hand out of the wrist socket, slide the stinger down the sleeve to the wrist, then pull the sleeve up the arm, pop the hand back into the wrist, and sew the sleeve on at the shoulder. after that, the hardest part was actually getting the hair to do what I wanted; my respect for hairdressers has increased considerably...
