    Silver Age Snapper Carr

    Almost done with the Silver Age Justice League. JLA sidekick Snapper Carr. Re-did the hair a bit on a Shazam head and used a CTVT taller teen body. Makes him a tad smaller and has a hand that can be tweaked to look like he's snapping his finger...

    I've always liked this character, nice to see him done in mego form.

    Doing any classic JLA foes?

      The Crime Syndicate was the main group of baddies I had planned, but Despero, Felix Faust and the Key have come to mind. The Key would be the most challenging head-wise, so he might be on the back burner.

        I like Queen Bee a lot, too. Kanjar Ro would be a challenge. The CS was well-done.

              Both good candidates; I had forgotten about Queen Bee. She's a real contender. Kanjar Ro would definitely strain the sculpting talents, but would make a great figure. Any figures with a pink body out there?

                  Great sewing job! I love the clean lines of your customs. Snapper's hand is a nice touch.

                    I've had a head, fabric, and wings set aside for Queen Bee for years, just never had the suit made.

                    You could dye a body pink, or at least the limbs.

                      You know, the new Megos seem to have softer plastic in the limbs. Has anyone tried dying those to see if they take better than the older bodies? It would be a lot better than having to paint the body.

                      And now that I got myself thinking about it, I'm likely going to have to try doing the Key's head just to see if I can make it work. I've wound up doing several characters lately for that same reason...

                      The hand honestly didn't occur to me until I pulled the CTVT body out and saw the gesture on the right hand. A little heat on the thumb and a dab of super glue was all I needed...
