Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy
I've been working on these for a bit. The Star-Spangled Kid was mostly done. I was just trying to figure out what kind of belt I wanted.
Stripsey needed a head and I had one, but I needed to repaint it from blonde to red-ish, which I might still do eventually because it's a perfect match, but painting is not a strong point for me. When The Atlas Comics figures came out, I thought Phoenix might work nicely, but the price was too much ($29.99) and then it sold out so quickly that temptation was taken out of my hands. So when The Atlas Comics figures popped up again for $10 cheaper? I was all in! And I think Phoenix works, for a more 70s vibe though.
Both suits are by Brian Leitner.
Star-Spangled Kid is on a shorter Mego Bandless body. The head, belt and Boots are from CTVT.
Stripsey is on a Type-S Body with Arms & Legs upgrade kit, to add some bulk to the body, and I used a Mego Bandless-to-Type S Head adapter from LaserMego. The boots are from CTVT. The Mego Phoenix body had the full knee bend fix, so I swapped bodies with my Mego 50th Flash to give him full leg range of motion.
