    Kid Flash, Speedy, and Star-Spangled Kid DC Direct 1/6 Customs

    Here are my latest DC Direct 13"-scale customs. This time, all 3 were produced using the "teen" body: Kid Flash was made from a DCD Robin (expensive!), while Speedy and Star-Spangled Kid used the Spirit body (much more affordable !).
    For Kid Flash, I wanted to use a Robin head due to the hair wave, I also swiped a pair of SA Flash boots and head wings. The rest, including the emblem, was hand-made:









    For Speedy I used the Spirit body with a re-painted Hot Toys True-Type head (I intended to sculpt additional hair for him but decided he looked ok with a buzz cut). The mask is a trimmed and re-painted Black Canary mask, the hat, bow, and arrows are from a DCD Green Arrow, and the arrow pack/quiver is a heavily modified and re-painted green Arrow quiver. Boots are from Sinestro.









    Finally, Star-Spangled Kid was made from a DCD movie Spirit. The boots are modified Martian Manhunter boots, the belt is a modified MM belt, and the rest, including cosmic rod, was hand-made. The stars were from a sheet of stickers I found at the craft store, painted white. Over time I think they'll peel, so eventually I may need to reinforce the adherence with some fabric glue.

                Even though it's not MEGO. Your work is simply breath taking on this board.

                This is how it should be done!! I love how you make masks for your heads.

                      Cool!!! Love the golden agers like Star Spangled Kid. On his star stickers. Maybe if you hit 'em lightly with a hairdrier it might make the adhesive more pliable and help bond the stars better to the fabric.

                        12 inch scale really is unforgiving. These things are close to freaking perfect. Fantastic work on that Kid Flash, that mask looks GREAT!
