Thank you very much :smgrin: You know that would make a great Mera head. After a little searching on google I think I found the figure the hair came from WWE Eve.

Wow! Love the new hair, both color and style, that's some incredible updating on an already amazing custom! Superb likeness to the comic. Her extra glossy gold and new makeup really add to it, too. Again, amazing job!

I really like going back revisiting some of my older customs now that my skill set has improved to see what I can do to improve them.

Thank you very much :smgrin: While working on the hair I figured out a neat technique for the highlights. I mixed the base international orange with the same gold on her costume and drybrushed it onto the hair, and to me it really makes the hair really pop.

Well I thought I would share some of my earlier work with you all :)
This was one of my earliest modifications when I started customizing. I shaved down the should joints, so they would sit more flush against the body, and finally painted the hammer gold. I'm actually planning on eventually making an updated BRB using the Marvel Legends figure and incorporating some WWE elite parts into it.

I think it will be a fun project once I can get back to customizing.

Black Panthers

Next up is Black Panthers.
I always thought that the Marvel Legends Black Panther was too short and I found and easy solution. I swapped out his shoulders, thighs, and upper calves with Iron Fist's parts. Now He is around the same height as a standard DCUC figure.

I recently went back and touched up the paint on my original Black Panther custom, and I also I did a little dry brushing on the new ROML Black Panther to help make transition between the blue and black areas look a little better.

This was a quick little repaint that I did over a weekend to one of my earlier Iron Fist custom. I decided to pull him off the shelf when I was straighten up my collection, and thought I would give him a little TLC. Here is a link to the first version of Iron Fist.
