    ^^ From when I first made her on a Yvonne 1.0 which were a pale skin tone; you can see in the newer pic I switched her over to a 2.0 body as they were more tan and fitting for Nova:

      Did you remove any brown from the soldier outfit prior to the violet bath? I'm impressed with the brightness and depth of the color you achieved.

        ^^ No, that's the power of the dye!… it surprised me too! I did four outfits (stupid me, I should have done a pair of gloves too!), two in bright violet and two in dark purple.

        After experimenting so much, I think the detergent acts as stripper and actually distresses the fabric a little.

          Lotta cool stuff going on...

          I never would have thought I'd like Cornelius in blue, but that blue really pops.

          Nova looks great.

              It only took a year to talk myself into making a set of these… small ***** always a pain!

              If Matt Sotis didn't do it first, I probably wouldn't have either… the pioneers of customizing continue to inspire. Mutant power!

                  ^^ Thanks!

                  Devilman V9 is also sorta happening. Ended up with a free FTC/CTVT superhero bod so figured I'd piece something together as a test. I do like the glove/boot system and style, but the body is mediocre at best… lightweight and limited posing. Not so well suited for this Mego/Popy inspired series.

                  Anyway, I do love the paint app… Testors Extreme Lacquer (Revving Red Metallic) covers plastic/resin so nicely and with subtle light effects. Cape is the fantastic silicone elastomer I've been playing with for several years. Undecided on what I want to do/not do on the collar, and he needs a belt.

                        While paint and resin dry, drift occurs… easily done with male pattern balding and a spiffy 'stach, but he really needs a gray turtleneck and another key accessory to complete the look.

                        Oh, does anyone have a Sideshow Frank Black shrink?

                            ^^ Thanks… Mr. O'Quinn has been sitting in the parts box for a real long time; he needed to meet Mulder & Scully proper.

                            BTW Ed, I have the sudden urge to have Sonny Chiba and Gordon Lui customs in Ape City, jeezuzzz, Mego should make these to compliment Bruce Lee, otherwise my to-do-list is never gonna get smaller!

                              A Sonny Chiba. That would be bad arse! Go for it!
