Recipes:

The Chief is an X-Men the Movie Profressor Xavier. He had two-part putty arranged so as to give him hair and a full beard. Otherwise he's untouched, even his wheelchair.

Negative Man is a Flash from the JLA boxed set. I painted him and then glued rubber bands around his hands and head, then gave those a white wash so as to make them seem more like bandages. N-Man is a shaved and repainted Aquaman from the same set. He is meant to have a kind of yellowish sheen to him to signify his energy form. I am thinking about other ways to do it now that it didn't come out quite as I was hoping it would.

Mento is a Green Lantern from the boxed JLA set. He has the Golden Age Flash's helmet with a couple of missiles from some other action figure jammed into the helmet, along with a little putty work for his mask and insignia.

Rita is a Silver Age Wonder Woman from the boxed JLA set. She had her hair redone, glove and boots and skirt made from putty. Her twelve-inch version, when I get around to it, is a twelve-inch Fairchild from the Wildstorm line, and her one-inch version is a Wasp from the Avengers boxed set. When I get around to that. Obviously, given Rita's current painted state, it won't be soon.

Beast Boy is a Kid Flash from the two-pack box. His mask tips are also Snowbird's, the mask itself (not my favorite sculpting job; I may redo it) is putty, as are his gloves. The various animals are...various animals. Repainted, natch.

 

Robotman is a Martian Manhunter from the JLA boxed set. I took the cape off, sculpted the jaw, chest camera, and rivets, shaved down his shoulder cape assembly, his boots, and his belt. I painted him copper since that was always what I thought the orange metal was trying to convey. All in all, I think he turned out better than I'd expected and I'm quite pleased.
