Pre-Neal Adams Green Arrow

[TRDouble]

I love an easy custom! Here is my take of the pre-Neal Adams Green Arrow.

This was real simple. A Brian Leitner Green Arrow costume, Mattel Retro Action Green Arrow hat, and from CTVT: Zica Domino Masked Hero Head, FTC Superhero Molded Regular Red gloves, red pirate boots, brown bow, small black quiver, all on a Type S body... Done! A little fun tack in the glove helps GA hold his bow.

And here is GA with my not-so-great Speedy mod:

I think the size of Speedy works great with Green Arrow in this costume.

Thanks for looking!

cool, I really like this costume better than the later Adams version

[battmasterson]

Nice job. Reminds me of the early Green Arrow comic books. Speedy looks great too.

[TrekStar]

Two great looking figures, love seeing these and thanks for sharing.

I like this version, really fits in with the Mego era...

[Boywonder0]

They both look awesome! Excellent job!

[Makernaut]

Sweet! Those are both great reimaginings of the originals.

Thanks for all of the positive comments!

Sweet rendition!
You and Mike (Grammercyplace) had similar thoughts on this version of GA.

The addition of Tack / Glue Dot I hadn't thought of to make those CTVT Plugin gloves hold things...
That CTVT domino mask head is definitely a godsend for us customizers. Thanks David Lee!

Yes, I love Grammercyplace's version! His version helped me flesh out what I had rolling around in my head, and then bleit1701's suit made it a reality.

Now I need a few trick arrows.

Trick arrows are EASY!
Here are three right off the top of my head:

First, get Dowels from Hobby Lobby / Michaels, in the modeling section, they go by diameter size, so 1/64th if in stock, if not Bamboo Skewers also work.

https://www.michaels.com/10-inch-bamboo-skewer-100-pieces/D048207S.html

1. Boxing Glove Arrow: Use a NuMego Ali Boxing Glove...it will take RitMore Dye easily ( using the 50w/50acetone/20dye formula we're using on Facebook). Fill the glove with something that the dowel /skewer can go into, like styrofoam packing peanuts, or Earplugs.add a bit of hot glue to secure, done.

2. Explosive Arrow: this one is easy. Simply using Sanding paper ( or the 1/64 bit sanding barrel on your dremmel) sand lightly the end of your dowel /bamboo skewer to make a cylinder like shown:
c9309142479703a331f4c4ece1cb456c.jpg
the key is just to make enough notches to make the cylinders . Paint the ends in a light / dark formation to give it depth. Add Glow paint within ridges to add the effect of it being armed. done.

3. Glue Arrow: Use Hot Glue to make a bulb end on the end of your dowel /bamboo skewer. use light / dark paint formation to give the end near the bulb the right depth contrast to make it look like
activation agent is near bulb. done.

Of course, you can use fletching if you like from pieces of fake green fabric petals from plastic flowers.

Others include Rope Arrow, handcuff arrows ( using the numego Stitched Frankenstein iron cuffs that comes with the figure), and Sonic arrow ( which is just a variation of the Explosive arrow,
only the end would have tiny holes dremeled in).

Have fun!

Cool! Thanks, darkbros! Definitely something for me to do!

We had the same idea. I went with a Robin Hood shirt and red gloved hands and gauntlets.

[hedrap]

These are fantastic. I wasn't a big fan of this design until the Mattel 9 inch figure.

Nice! I went back and forth with the plug-in hands and the gauntlets, before settling in the plug-in hands. Both look good.
