Thanks, Doc. I'd love to sell or make another but the combo of that Canary head and Jean Grey hair would be pricey to acquire again. I usually consult Who's Who but the Legion always had all those cool character profiles every few years in their title. This was the image I was actually inspired by and think I captured pretty well.

FANTASTIC job on those customs PB!!!! Definitely retail worthy!!!! Mattel really missed the train on the LoSH sets, imagine 2-3 LoSH 12 packs!!!! I would love to get my hands on just the original set. /Sigh, maybe one day when they come to their senses they will release some more...

Packerbacker Shocking Revelations pg 53

Postby packerbacker180 » Tue Aug 09, 2016 2:30 pm

Wow, it's been a while since I submitted a custom. Went on vacation for a week, and then my wife was home for another week, so I didn't get as much work done in July. Plus the nice weather and the kids being off from school...

Anyway, next up is Lightning Lass. I actually debated on her appearance because all the Legion members I've made so far have their looks from the 70's and 80's. But honestly, I always thought poor Ayla had the least exciting, most generic looking costume designs from the team in that era. But I really dug her new look when Levitz started writing again a few years ago. So even though she doesn't match the era, I decided if I'm only probably going to make one version of each member, I should do the costumes I like best. If you're not familiar with the more recent Legion, I included an image of her, too. :)

Packerbacker - I just joking about the Dream Girl for Sale ... Sorry that I mislead you ... :)

Lighting Lass ... Wow that's amazing Packer and I just loved the way you put it all together and nice job of the detailing of it and excellent on the paint too. :D

Hey, thanks, guys. Y'know, I spent a lot of doing painting and repainting the bolt pattern on her boots and then I never took any pictures showing them off, lol. So I added a couple extra pictures.
