    Homemade DC Retro cards

    Since the homemade cards I did for my custom figures turned out well I thought I'd see what I could do for some of the DC Retro figures. Here is what I've come up with so far.

                Looks good, but the art director in me can't help but notice it's supposed to be Hal Jordan.

                        I'm loving these...especially that Flash!

                        Here's a few suggestions I'd like to make:
                        1. Type font change - current seems a little "plain"
                        2. Use the "Retro-Action DC Super Heroes" logo from the cards, similiar to the "M" mego logo on the original cards
                        3. Possibly include "Wave 1" or "Wave 2" etc. in smaller type on the front...

                        Love the back grounds! I'd like to see a little more of an "action", front on pose for Green Lantern....

                        Keep up the great work! I'd LOVE a set of these!!!!!!!!!

                          Any suggestions on another type font are welcome.

                          I actually found a "Retro-Action DC Super Heroes" logo and was trying it out on the backside. Maybe I'll try it on the front and see how it looks.

                          Figuring out a pose that can actually be done is a tough one so again any suggestions are welcome. I went for a "charging the ring" pose for GL but the "glow" from the ring and battery didn't show up well and I've been trying another background and it works better.

                          Thanks to everyone for all the positive comments. I'm working on some of the other Retro figures too ( Sinestro, Darkseid, Cheetah, Black Adam ) and will post pictures when done.

                            A lot of cool cards are being made these days. Makes me want to make my own.
