    Elektra -- Assasin and love-interest of Daredevil

    Elektra Natchios is a Marvel Comics character created by Frank Miller, first appearing in Daredevil #168 (January 1981). She is a love interest of the superhero Daredevil, but her violent nature and mercenary lifestyle divide the two.

    The character is a highly trained assassin of Greek descent who wields a pair of bladed sai as her trademark weapons.

    Miller originally intended Daredevil #168, which was essentially a filler story, to be Elektra's only appearance, but she instead became a frequently appearing villain in Daredevil until her death in issue #181 (April 1982). She was resurrected shortly after, but the story contained a narrative note which indicated that Daredevil would never encounter her again.

    She has since been resurrected multiple times, most recently in the Netflix series Daredevil.

    My Elektra is made on an original Mego female body; the outfit is a Hawkmike original; the head is a shrunk Kate Jackson Charlie's Angels head from the late 1970s. I shrunk the head "gently" using Acetone. During the process all of the original hair fell out so I had to improvise and add new black hair. She is the fourth custom for which I used a Charlie's Angels head: Farrah Fawcett is my Valkyrie; Jaclyn Smith is my Scarlet Witch; Cheryl Ladd is my Cheetah; and now Kate Jackson joins them as Elektra!

    ...and some other members of the Daredevil family. (l to r) Ben Urich, Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson.



    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

            Foggy Nelson is great too.

                    That looks totally Mego! Great job.
                    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
