    Black Canary!!!!




    Been wanting to redo this one for a bit, ever since I picked up a Kelli Bundy head from CTVT. I'd hear that it was too big for Mego and its true. perfect for 9 inch size and a really nice sculpt and paint job, didn't even want to try and match flesh tones, its a lot closer in person.


    The boots, glove tops and bodysuit are all Halloween pleather from Joann's, fishnets are fabric from there, too. a pain in the hinder to sew. Jacket was Barbie I think. I recycled it from my old BC custom.

    Stomping BANE!

    She looks great. Head appears to be floating above her jacket. I guess she just has a Giraffe neck.
    Too many toys. Not enough space!

      You know me T-bolt---although your more "post-apocalyptic" vision of
      the characters are a blast and a respected and unique way to go---
      at first glance I'm more of a traditionalist and Canary here leans more
      towards that.

      I really like this pass at the Black Canary character---and I think that
      the Kelly facial features are cute enough to be Dinah yet not overly so--
      ----CTVT's failures on the Applegate sculpt are your advatanges there
      (I think Applegate's Kelly is cutsier in reality than that sculpt).

      Really nice figure, man.

      (And, as always, group shot is appreciated!)

        Hotfoot-she has a choker collar on, I guess all the black is blending together in the pics.
        Huedell- I just didn't see any other way to go for Dinah, so on model she is. I got two of the heads and am thinking with some paint adjustments she'll make a good Enchantress, too.

          Ouch. How can she smile like that while smashing someone's crotch?

          Nice custom. Like the "Members Only" Jacket too. She probably says that when she steps on crotches.

            Because it probably feels good.

              That is really cool. It seems like it would be hard to find good female heads.

                That's really cool, but I was looking forward to a corsetted fem fatale baddass. Kind of a domino masked, blond, Black Queen on horseback.

                    I think she looks perfect ! Who would have thought that there was a higher purpose for Kelly Bundy's head ?!

                            Nice. Works quite well for the Canary. Good stuff right there.
