Catwomen -- Filmation and Classic Purple Outfit
For all you out there who continue to break the unwritten rule of only posting one new custom a day (so you don't clog up the first page of Finished Customs with all of your work) I give you the evil-genius way around it. Posting more than one custom in a single thread. And, if that wasn't good enough, posting more than one custom of the same character in a single thread.
Here we have Filmation Catwoman. At first I was going to put a brand new mask over a Mego Catwoman or Wonder Woman head and then I thought, "Mego would not have done that!" They didn't do that with their version of Catwoman so why would I? Lookey here:
So, I simply painted the mask of a Mego Catwoman head white, designed and printed the suit, picked up some white boots and long yellow gloves from CTVT (and painted them white) and here she is. And, in fine Mego tradition, I even printed cuffs and boots on the suit so I can transform her from a gloves and boot version into a silk-screen version depending upon my mood.
Next, we have the classic purple costume Catwoman. Mego Catwoman head with mask painted purple; Dr Mego repro Batgirl cowl painted purple; my suit with printed boots (its hard to find boots in scale that are the right height); and blue CTVT gloves painted black. Please note: I cut all of Catwoman's hair off and glued it to the inside back of the cowl to achieve a much better fit on her head.
Again, the thought process for all of my customs is always, "Knowing what we know about Mego and what they did with previous characters, how would Mego have made this character?"
And, finally, a ménage à trois
Hope you enjoy my customs and, as always, thanks for looking.
Peace, Love and Megos,
Austin
