What I wrote before: After a somewhat iffy start using a Black Cat figure as a base, I finally decided that Leslie Hancock had the right idea by using the Savage Land Storm. I still thought that Black Cat's hair looked more like Wonder Woman's, but after seeing several people (including Leslie herself) use the Silver Sable hair successfully, I couldn't make up my mind. My solution -- create a "Wig Wearin' Wonder Woman!"
The more I look at this figure in her different wigs, the more I realize I'm much happier with the Silver Sable hair. For some reason it just looks cleaner, sorta like Mike Deodato's version of the good princess. Although she can still wear both wigs, in her "private time" (which she spends on a shelf in between Captain Marvel and Plastic Man ;-), she wears the Deodato wig almost exclusively. One thing I like about making my own customs is that I get to fix "problems" the original characters have, and Wonder Woman had just such a problem. Basically, I've always wondered why any self-respecting princess would wear both gold and silver at the same time. It just looks really tacky in my eyes, a huge fashion faux-pas, and so I gave my WW figure gold bracelets to reflect a much more fashion conscious Princess Diana. |
