Re: Packerbacker Customs Nightshade pg. 28

Yeah, sue me, it took a couple extra days of touchups beyond what I promise. I was thinking of maybe finishing a Heroclix Adam Cray before posting Eve (to have an Adam & Eve reveal :dslol: ) but since Cray isn't a priority for me he'll just have to wait. But Eve here makes a nice bridge between the Suicide Squad and Shadowpact on that shelf.

I also wanted to share this old short-lived costume for her that I found while researching images. I kind of like it even if it looks a little X-men-y. It's certainly better than the horrible purple & black costume she wore later on in Ostrander SS run.

Great job on Nightshade, of course I will have to begin immediately working on the horrible Ostrander costume she used to have. I do prefer that one to zebra stripe lady. :hhlol:

Great Nightshade, Packer. Been thinking of doing this one myself! Kind of debated this or the purple costume one you mentioned. LOL. I wasn't sure how I'd pull off her loose blouse costume she wore in the Shadowpact without hindering articulation.

That's a nice Nightshade, pb. What did you use for the skirt? Was it hard to add or was it from a figure that already had one?

I'm used a Silver Age Catwoman so there was already a gap at the waist where her skirt was. I've found it's easiest to use Catwoman or Raven when you're trying to use either Supergirl or Mary Marvel's skirt on a figure. Then it's just a matter of heating up the skirt and legs to be a little more flexible.
