Doc, you did a great job on these Legionnaires, bro!!! Especially love that Mon-El! Man, what a bummer we didn't get him even in that huge Legion pack.

Love the Legion work Doc! Unfortunately, it reminds me of how much I have left to do to fill out my Legion collection :roll: All four are great additions to the set you've been building.

Incredible job on the Legion of Superheroes, Doc! I also really like the bits of humor describing them. :smgrin:

Hey Doc! Long time no see buddy and you came back with a bang. One hell of a job on those LOSH members. Love Dream Girl. So disappointed she was missed.

Man you hit it out of the park again, Doc!!! That lower half skirting for Mon-El. Might I ask what did you use for that??

Hi everyone!

I'm so glad you like them (mostly I'm glad Neil is paying for them ha ha). The 12 that MATTEL put in the box were not the 12 I would have picked, squarely shoving ME-Lad over for Mon-El.

Mon-El's torso is the Golden Age Dr Mid Nite, with the chest re-sculpted and a new belt buckle.

For Christmas, I am trying to get White Witch, Polar Boy, and Blok done.

Neil specifically requested that Blok use the Lead/Darkseid CnC buck. I think that makes him too big in scale, but when the customer is willing to pay...

I used that Lead for Blok, and yes he is on the large side. I think that it works though. When you take the tunic off there is some gap issues to address. I am very interested to see how you pull off the White Witch. I haven't gotten to her yet and I would love to have some ideas.

Thanks man. Don't know how I didn't know that was Dr. Mid-Nite but it was probably because of the great job you did repurposing it!! :smwink:

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

I plan on using Raven for White Witch. She already has the bicep sleeve sculpt and cool hand gestures.

However, I really could use your input. I am very very color blind. Is White Witch intended to be albino? Does she have a pink skin tint?

I do think she is albino. At least the depiction in the Giffen era appeared to be.
Great call on the Raven base figure. Saw one for 7 bucks at a TJ Maxx last year and I couldn't figure what I would make with her......so I passed. DOH!
