    Super Friends Wonder Woman 2.0

    I was never really thrilled with the Super Friends WW. Something about her expression just seemed "mean" so I softened her up a bit with a quick paint touch up. Some lashes added, bigger pupils and a repaint on her lips and I think she looks a bit more "friendly". On a side note, I also switched out her boots since the ones she came with were causing plastic melt.

            And here is a pic of her with her new boots. I like the look of these better and I know that there won't be plastic melt.

            Oh, and the new bracelets? Blue straws. Cut lengthwise and they automatically tightened up around her wrists on their own.

                Why are the included boots reactive? It looks as though you substituted red trimmed FTC Wondergirl boots? She does look better--those boots give her a 12" WW vibe.

                  Something in the chemical makeup of the plastics. Much like the 12" WW has melt at the shoulders where the harder plastic of her body meets the rubbery arms at the shoulders, the SF WW has the same issue where the harder plastic of her legs meets the rubbery boots. Same thing. It was especially bad at the top of the boot but when I got them off, I could see where her entire lower leg, minus her feet, had started to get soft and "melt". I could actually scrape the plastic off with my thumbnail. Didn't take long for this process to start either. My guess is within a year or so, the bottom of her legs would have been pretty much destroyed and mostly likely stuck to the rubber boots.

                  I think the WG boots, trimmed down, are a much better look.

                        looks great!

                        making the pupils white instead of black may improve too.

                        I dig it.
