Yeah, he's about as obscure as you can get. To my knowledge he's appeared on two pages in his entire existence, lol. Thanks for checking him out.

Thanks. Sadly those panels I included are the only panels he's appeared in to my knowledge. I think there could be something with the character as the British papers call him and Sunny Jim "Class War" because Beaumont is said to come from wealth while Sunny Jim has more of a blue collar background, so that when they team up they apparently spend most of the battles insulting each other. I think that alone would make for an interesting appearance as a sort of Odd Couple team, but I wouldn't count on it unless James Robinson returned to the DCU, and even then I wouldn't expect it, lol. Just a small blip in the history of the DCU, I guess. And really, just a fodder clear of a simple look for me.

This was a commissioned version of Nightshade as she appeared in later issues of Suicide Squad...

I don't follow Suicide Squad and nor this version of Nightshade but I just wanted chime in that I seen this version in Comic Books and it was done just right on the nose and you did a terrific job on it. :)

Thanks, guys. Wish I could keep her but at least I already had different version myself.

Nice job, man. Great Suicide Squad you've got going there. Did you use Ice's body for the base?

Packerbacker Customs Daughter of the Demon pg. 59

Postby packerbacker180 » Tue Feb 28, 2017 4:11 pm

I've kind of had this figure in my mind for years but two things kept me from making her. First, I just assumed she was popular enough that Mattel would make her, and two, I never really considered Talia as having a true iconic look. But as soon as that DCUC Zatanna came out I thought the head didn't look much like Z at all, and actually made me think of Talia more than anything. So since she doesn't really have a look in comics that I would consider her iconic look, I kind of went with how she often appeared in Batman: The Animated Series. I'm not sure she's "pretty" enough to represent Talia al Ghul, but I think she's got more of a Far Eastern look that Talia was originally depicted with early on in her existence, and that's what I was aiming for.
