More DC Direct 13 inch Customs!

[Riddle23942]

Hey guys! I just finished the latest round of DC Direct 13 inch customs. Once again, I had the help of someone talented with a needle and thread, Wiley68 (since that is definitely not where my strengths lie. Here we have:
Poison Ivy: Made from a Black Canary. I took care of the repainting of the head, I made the leaf bracelets, necklace and shoes. The bodice was Black Canary's, but repainted and with craft store, plastic leaves attached. Wiley 68 took care of sewing the tights.

Riddler- Made from The Spirit. Wiley68 sewed the great bodysuit. I took care of repainting, hands/goves, belt and affixing all of those question mark decals.

Batwoman- Made from another Black Canary. I repainted her, made her a mask, made gloves and painted hands, made boots and a belt. Wiley68 sewed the yellow bodysuit and cape for me.

Goddamn, those look awesome

Wow, that's dedication. Buying those DC13 figures to customize. Or do you have a connection you wanna tell me about?
Poison Ivy turned out well. I like the Batwoman, but there's one thing I need to suggest. How can I put this delicately? Please don't take this the wrong way, but while the suit is very nice, it's very tight in the crotch. The way those bodies are made, it makes Batwoman look like she's hiding some man-parts. I don't know if loosening the lower torso of the suit would help or not. Maybe an under layer that would mask the bulge could be made, without having to alter the suit.

I just tweaked Batwoman a little bit. She needed a third button on her suit. I also switched her body out for the slightly less busty DC Direct one.... It works ok for Poison Ivy, but with the Batwoman's spandex bright-yellow suit, it looked just a tad too huge!!
Here's the slightly improved Batwoman:

Now it is on to Earth 2 Huntress!

Del, you are exactly right...It is a little too tight! I'll see what I can do about it and repost when I come up with a fix.

Nice work, really dig that Poison Ivy.

[Captain]

Well, since her costume isnt all that terrifying, she needs some kind of gimmick to scare criminals. A pretty girl who looks to be packing a potato would definitely do that!!

These are great by the way! Hope you've got more to show us?

Love Bat-girl, she never gets respect!

Del, you are exactly right...It is a little too tight! I'll see what I can do about it and repost when I come up with a fix.

When I started to scroll down down and saw that the Batwoman photo had been removed, I was worried that I had really ticked you off with my comments! I'm glad that you seem to have taken the advice as it was intended. Those customs were too nice otherwise for me not to have said something.

[The Toyroom]

Nice to see those characters in 13" format....That's some love right there.

That Riddler Looks Real Great Man !

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Very nice, I especially like the Riddler.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! It is kind of hard customizing 13 inch figures because of the cost, but I just keep a close eye on eBay for good deals on loose figures, incomplete figures etc, and then I make a lot of the money back by selling the costumes and parts from the figures that I didn't end up using.

Del, I was not offended at all. I was glad you said something! I hadn't even noticed how tight the suit was! I actually removed the pic before I saw your message because I wanted to put her on a slightly less busty body and fix the buttons. I'll put up a newer, better (in focus!) pic as soon as I fix up the way the suit fits. Speaking of customs, I absolutely LOVE the Kid Flash DC Direct custom you did! I wish the real thing had been exactly like yours!

[Riddle23942]

Ok! Batwoman's...ummmmm....crotch issue...is fixed. I just put some tights on under her suit and that smoothed things out
