Awesome group shot

Would love to see you do a line of The New Teen Titans (Perez/Wolfman) or even the Legion, if you have some more figures to work with.

Thanks for the kind words; I'd love to do the Legion of Superheroes, and have actually given it some thought, but several issues make the task problematic.
First, DCD never developed a teen female body, so the female characters would all be broader and taller than the males if I used DC Direct bodies (and assuming I used the DCD male teen body for Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, etc).
Second, while I would want to use the DCD teen body for scale's sake (so I could display them with my other DCD customs), that body is pretty slender, and wouldn't look muscular enough for Mon-El, Ultra Boy, and several others.
Third, most of the Legionnaires lack masks; sculpting is an admitted weakness for me, so I would need to locate suitable heads on ebay or some other 1/6-scale source. I often re-use the same head for different characters if masks are involved, but the Legion would require unique head sculpts for each character in order to look right.
Another problem I would face would be in deciding what era to go with: I grew up with the Bronze Age team, and while I love that era, many of the costumes are a bit over-the-top (especially the skimpy female costumes!). I would probably settle on the Silver Age team for that reason, but then I'd miss out on some cool characters (Wildfire). I even have the perfect figure for a Colossal Boy - a 24" military figure that I made into Goliath when I was doing Famous Covers customs.

As for the Wolfman/Perez Titans, as much as I loved that book, they would be pretty far down the list of priorities (I hope to start doing some Marvel/Avengers characters eventually!). Cyborg would be a real challenge, for sure. I'll probably be satisfied with my Silver Age Titans for now, but maybe some day ...
