New figures, painting and stripping.


First up, some new women!

My new Wonder Woman choice. I'll be taking the spear and sword from her and replacing them with a lasso, covering up the pile of skulls at her feet and tweaking the breastplate slightly. Otherwise, she looks very much like Alex Ross's Wonder Woman, pictured on the right. Also pictured are two new female figures, the Marvel Villains and Heroes queens respectively. The loin cloth wearing girl will become Mystique, and the other will be Jean Grey from the X-Men. The final lady is from the Legion of Superheroes, Sensor Girl. With some work, I've determined that she will work as Batgirl. One of the harder "mods" I'll be doing.


Next a little dark blue and dark red on Sinestro. Sharp eyed individuals will recall that I usually underlay the flesh tone with a dark brown not red. Sinestro is literally pink skinned, so dark red will be the colour of the deeper shadows.

Also some dark red on the Martian Manhunter's suspenders and belt.


Finally the first stripped figures. Coldsnap only had a layer of white on his hair, and that came right off, no problem. Halo had a layer of yellow in her hair and that too came off without much problem.

Coldsnap will be changed to "Captain Cold" with the addition of a gun in his right hand, while Halo is going to be modded into "Catwoman" with a bit of effort.
