That's belt must be a very difficult thing to make here and that's an excellent job there. I've never heard of this Lantern in my life and that's an interesting choice to make here Savant. Nice job all around and that's an interesting piece here.

It would be cool if you take all your Green Lanterns Custom(s) and make a Group Shot Photo Set Up. You probably have close to 50-100 of them right now.

Yeah I love finding all these obscure GL's...and even more fun to figure out how to make them.

I'd love to take pics of them all but most are hanging from the ceiling with a few of those wrapped up in a not so easy method; so I'm a little scared I won't be able to hang them up again..we'll see.

If you're keeping score at home (including my "original" Green Lantern customs) I've made only 61 of the 3,600+ Lanterns out there...thankfully I have every one Mattel and nearly all DCD/DCC has made, so this helps.

You made 61 figures why not take a picture of your top 10 figures and take 2 pictures ... the 1st one 1 to 5 and the 2nd one 6 to 10 and you are done ... in terms of difficulty putting them together.

Savant,

Your Custom Dark Nights: Dawnbreaker Batman - is pretty cool despite the learning curve that you've mentioned and I wasn't expecting this very unusual figure here. Man, that's a lot of details went into it and I've bet that you had a heck of fun making it.

Pretty Cool Actually and that's one of the most far-out figures that you made so far.
