    The painted version came out really nice!

    No material cuffs at the wrist. They are tucked into the molded gloves.

    There is a good pic in this previous Museum post:
    I will admit that SuperFriends is my favourite toy line that Figures Toy company currently makes. We try hard to be objective but it’s important to be transparent and admit that this series makes me happy. Even when it’s the Wonder Twins, two characters I tolerated but didn’t adore on Saturday morning but 30


    If you don't have the original gloves, Classic TV Toys sells that style (and I believe it will include that missing wrist pin)... but it looks like they only have the female version in stock in the right color. So you may want to paint those to match your collar.

      Thank you for all the info. Will be making a order at FTC shortly since want to start doing customs again.

      I have the gloves for these.

      Just missing one of the ball joints/wrist pin for the female.

      I find its weird that they did not sew the wrist suit at all. its loose cut material that just tucks into the gloves !?

          Those collars look brand new great job with that ! Classic TV Toys usually has those ball joints if you don't see it Email them and sometimes they have it . The same joints are used on Atom , Dr Fate etc.

            While I don't disagree, I assume they did it this way since a cuff would add extra thickness (which would then make it even harder to tuck). Plus, they figured if you didn't take off the gloves you would never it see it anyways.

              Thanks guy`s but really didn't do much. I just applied 2 coats of paint on the collar.

              I appreciate all the tips and feedback I got. Makes this hobby even more enjoyable.

              Looking forward to more hands on into doing customs. Still have not found my boxes with heads I made in the past. Im really good at packing stuff...
