    Retro-Action DC Super Heroes REVERSE FLASH!!!

    This figure just seemed like an obvious custom to make. This has been on my back burner for sooo long, but still, I have never seen one done.

    A couple of years ago, I bought another loose R.A. Flash, and wanted to make Prof. Zoom.
    I started by painting the head, boots, and hands with Dupli-Color Yellow Vinyl Paint, and the boots with red. I attempted to save the eye paint, but that didn't work out.
    After that, he was in the Mego bin for me and my kids to play with for a long time.

    A while back I started repainting the eyes, but I could only get the left one to look good. He went back to the back burner again.

    Today, after many months, with a new brush, and much more practice on painting eyes, I finished him!

    Awesome stickers were done by PMWasson / LaserMego.com

    Thanks for looking!

    Those look sweet, great work as usually, maybe some window boxes or card backs for them.

      Double the sweetness, double the fun, Bats!! Those suits and head sculpts/paints are gorgeous. My only crit would be that the bodies seem almost too muscular the either Flash; he's always struck me as being slender and toned due to that astounding metabolism of his! Still, way, way cool!!
      sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

        Thank you guys! I appreciate the comments and the compliments. Just to set the record straight. The red Flash on the right is an original Mattel Retro-Action DC Super Heroes Flash. The yellow Flash on the left is my custom, using the same figure, and turning him into the Reverse Flash. Both are on the original Mattel bodies.

                Very cool. They look awesome together. I think your eyes look batter than the Mattel ones. (Incidentally: Worst. Pickup line. Ever.)

                        He looks awesome. What bodysuit is that one? Is it from the Mattel line? Fits perfect on the Mattel Body.
