several customizers. You will not find these toys in your
local toy store.
The World's Strangest Heroes!
My
Doom Patrol customs are based on DC's 1960's series of the
same name. The adventures of the "World's Strangest Heroes"
was incredibly ahead of its time due to the quirky writing
of Arnold Drake and steller art of Bruno Premiani. I highly
recommend seeking out back issues of this great comic!
Elasti-Girl
was made from a STAS Supergirl figure. The hands have
been repositioned and her collar and hair were re-done
in Kneadatite. Her boots are from a Princess-Whats-Her-Name
from Earthworm Jim series and the tops are sculpted
from more Kneadatite.
Negative
Man is made from a BTAS Nightwing with a Racer X head
wrapped in cloth. He was then primed and painted! For
those of you wondering where N-Man is, I couldn't bring
myself to sacrifice another Nightwing for him! Maybe
in the future!
Robotman
is made from a TNBA Creeper body with a TNBA Mr. Freeze
head and Batman hands. Cliff's facial features were
sculpted in Kneadatite as was his chest camera. The
straps are made from rubberbands.
The
Chief is made out of a TNBA Two-Face. First I did plastic
surgery on his face, restoring it to normal, then I
added the beard and mustache. The legs were cut and
repositioned so he could sit in the wheelchair. A WWF
wheelchair has been heavily modified so it would
be in scale with the Chief.
I
really like this one! Mento is made from a TNBA Riddler
with a Kneadtite and cut plastic helmet.
