Stargirl (2nd Attempt!)

[Cosmicman]

This is my daughter's favorite superhero. She picked her up from watching JLU and then I introduced her to the JSA comic.
The first attempt at Stargirl was OK. I didn't have a decent head so I created that molded sculpey hair look. To a little girl who is eight, that really sucks because she can't brush Stargirl's hair.

So at her request, I created a brand new Stargirl for her. This body is the same size as a titan body. I found it in junk pile at someone's garage. It originally belonged to a gymnastic Skipper doll or something. With a lot of crafting and removing the goofy head and replacing it with the rehashed Breyer girl head, we have an instant Stargirl!

Now Gabby is 100% with the outcome! -whew-

This is Gabby's official 55th Mego custom and counting!! She never gets tired of coming up with characters and browsing the Dr. Mego catalog for ideas. This kid is going ot be the death of me.

NO MORE SCUPTY HAIRS ON GIRL DOLLS. She almost boycotted her megos on me!!



"This is awesome daddy. Now get to work on that Colossus, Dr. Banner and Magneto!"

Nice work. Those articulated Skipper bodies are great for mego size gals. Mattel also used it for Hermoine from Harry Potter.

Nice paints on the mask, and way cool to be able to share your customs with your kid.

I started buying megos again five years ago because of the nastalija feeling they brought me but when that wore out I started to customize a few of them.
When my daughter got old enough to read, I of course was reading her bedtime stories like my old comic books. Instead of Barney's Adventures, she chose to have me read her X-men, All Star Squadron or JLA. She adapted to these characters like second hand. I had to search high and low for copies of the 90's X-men cartoon series from television that she became addicted to and watched ritually. She loves Storm and Jean Grey!!!
Now, she finds characters she "Thinks we need." I introduced her to Dr. Mego and now her brain runs 24/7 on designing custom megos.
Nowadays, if I make a custom, it really has something to do with an idea she came up with. I enjoy doing this because of her.
One day I will get back into it and start making characters for myself. Right now I enjoy making her happy.

Nice figure and the pics are great. My oldest son asks for a ton of different custom figures. I can't even come close to keeping up.
