JUSTICE by Alex Ross
Now that Halloween is over let's get back to some super-heroes, shall we?
From wikipedia: "Justice is a twelve-issue American comic book limited series published bimonthly by DC Comics from August 2005 through June 2007, written by Alex Ross and Jim Krueger, with art also by Ross and Doug Braithwaite. Its story involves the superhero team known as the Justice League of America confronting the supervillain team the Legion of Doom, after every supervillain is motivated by a shared dream that seems to be a vision of the planet's destruction which they intend to avoid.
The series heavily draws upon the 1970s Super Friends animated series, most notably the Challenge of the Super Friends incarnation, which featured the Legion of Doom as regular characters."
Some people loved this series. Others did not. But, I think most comic book fans thought that the suits of armor worn by the JLA were all that and a bag of chips. I know I did.
So I present to you for the first time in public my custom Mego JUSTICE action figures in their battle armor...
Superman: built on a Mego T2 Tinman body; suit is made using a fabric called liquid silver (a four-way stretch) and sewn together by Brian Leitner; rivet stickers and chest emblem designed by me and produced by www.lasermego.com ; head is an enlargement of the DC Universe head by me and cast using a metallic silver powder; paints by me as well.

Green Lantern: built on a Mego T2 body with black hands from CTVT; suit is made using a fabric called liquid black(a four-way stretch) and sewn together by Brian Leitner; stickers/emblems designed by me and produced by www.lasermego.com ; boots are CTVT Knight boots painted black; head is an enlargement of the DC Universe head by me; shoulder armor, sword and shield from the DC Universe figure; all paints by me.

Wonder Woman: built on a Mego female body with hands painted blue; bracelets from www.drmego.com; suit designed and printed by me; head sculpt by Next2LastMohican; and all paints by me.
A custom DC Universe figure made by Chalana87 which is what mine is based.
Batman: built on a Mego T2 CHiPs body; suit is made using a fabric called liquid black (a four-way stretch) and sewn together by Brian Leitner; repro Mego Batman belt cast in black from www.drmego.com; stickers/emblems designed by me and produced by www.lasermego.com ; boots are CTVT Knight boots painted black; head is an enlargement of the DC Universe head by me; shoulder armor and "wings" from the DC Universe figure.

Group shot:
from the pages of JUSTICE: The JLA ready to do battle
A custom Aquaman is in the works but he is proving to be a challenge. And, if there was one other character I would make to add to this set it would be the Atom. I simply love his costume.
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and as always, thanks for looking.
Peace, Love and Megos,
Austin
