    Manhunter



    Golden Age hero (Quality Standard). The character did have a brief revival in DC's Manhunter crossover from a few years back. I took some liberties with the character. I've darkened the costume and made his badge the buckle for his belt. I've also changed the hair and the mask.
    Hope to have his dog, Thor, and a box soon.

      Wow!!! Troy that is one awesome custom!! I definately like the hair on this guy -- it has that 40s flat top look to it. I also like the way the mask looks like it's a seperate piece and not sculpted on... Well done. I like the changes that you made to the costume. Nothing is over the top and everything looks like it would belong on the guy. Cool looking Badge/Belt Buckle. Can't wait to see him with Thor.
      Don't be sorry. How would you know? You've been watching MTV all your life.

        It's a Doc Mego white body. They were on sale at the time so I bought a few.

            I love your work Man, You make customs of characters long forgotten by most. The Golden Age offered some real cool characters from all the major companies. Keep on keepin' on

                Amen Bro! And the best part is that, for the most part, they're public domain. I don't have to worry about those pesky C&D letters.

                  You did a great job on him. Did you sculpt the head? It's excellent!

                    I need to take pics of the soles of the boots, too. I took a pair of my old cast soles and cut an aggressive tread design into it. It's a lot of time for a part that no one will see, but I think it looks pretty cool.

                        Nice job on the Dan Richards Manhunter, Troy. A few of the changes you made - the crew cut hair and badge belt-buckle - make a lot of sense for a character who attended the police academy and premiered in Police Comics! Kudos!
