    Bronze Age Royal Flush Gang: Queen

    The Bronze Age version of Queen from the Royal Flush Gang (the looks changed a lot, as did the people wearing the costumes). I tried something here I haven’t before: the red and black design on the front of the vest was designed on Photoshop and printed out on printable material. It has kind of a limited use overall, as the material is cotton, so no stretch, but it’s the only way I could see to do some of the design work on the Gang. The stripes and checkered pattern are an old-fashioned laundry pen’s work. The crown was printed out on regular old paper and glued to some posterboard. Head is a re-sculpted Glinda, body uses white hands and a neck from Classic TV Toys. She actually has two right hands, as one needed to be glued around the staff because the thumbs kept snapping off even though there was no pressure on them (there’s a slot in the staff that fits the thumb nicely). Staff is made from part of a shish kebob stick, some string, a rolled piece of Contact adhesive, and a stick-on kids earring jewel. The pic on the end is what I printed out.

      Thank you. That's exactly the period I was basing them on and the one I remember them from.

                  So I learned something new. I thought The Royal Flush Gang was a Batman Beyond invention. Turns out, nope.

                    Yep, they go back to the Silver Age of the JLA. I went back and forth a bit on which version/era to do, but I went with the team as I remember them from the 70's-early 80's.

                      Yes, the RFG were initially--and later--the creation of Prof. Amos Fortune, a classic JLA foe. IIRC, in the interim the Joker used a version.

                        Ah, yes, Prof. Fortune. Another classic character I have to get to some time...

                          I've a head for him--riffed upon Boss Hogg--and a Cheron bodysuit on reserve, but I've never had his kimono made.

                            Yeah, I was also thinking Jefferson Davis Hogg for Fortune, or maybe Norm from Cheers, depending in part on how I re-do the hair.
