                Me too...although I'm not as skilled as most, I've done a couple of customs.

                'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                  Yes , after starting simple , just the DC heroes especially the hardest ones the Teen Titans , i started bramching off into customs of other DC heroes. Now, i hav emore customs than official figures. also one of each is now not good enough for the originals. i want one out loose and one in a repo box, since i can't afford original boxed ones. a couple figure i want in repo box, card and kresgee card and custom box as well. Can you say Green Arrow and Robin?

                  So have fun and i hope you're sewing skills are better than mine.
