    Squadron of Justice Taia

    Partner and beloved of Ibis the Invincible, the resurrected princess of Thebes, Taia. Not technically a member of the Squadron far as I can tell, but an important part of Ibis' story, so I included her (and she did make a brief appearance in the Justice League story featuring the Squadron in the 70's that made me want the Squadron in Mego form) Figures Toy Company Lois Lane head, shoes from some Barbie knock-off packs from a dollar store in the 80's-early 90's.

      that looks great. You always make the MEGO lady body work superbly with your creations; not an easy task.

          Looks great. Females are so hard to get right and you nailed it.

                        The original female body has a somewhat undeserved bad rap. The only real problems are the lack of any real detail on the torso (namely no collar bone) and thighs, and the construction of the waist (that ball bulks up so fast when you're making a costume). Proportions are actually pretty good and the articulation is better than the guys. You just have to be aware of its flaws and work around them. To my eyes, the Mattel bodies have some odd, gangly proportions, and the thighs are strangely gnarled, while the type S bodies have even less shape in the legs than the Megos, aside from the odd indentation on the inner thighs. The Mego female ain't perfect, but the flaws just don't seem to stick out to me as much, though that could be in part because I'm so used to them after all these decades.

                            I don’t have a clue who she is (outside of your description, as I’m not familiar with a lot of DC characters), Scott...but to me, she looks great!
