I have not made a custom in nearly a decade, and this is the first one I have attempted. My close friend really wanted a Black Mary Marvel, and I thought I might still have the talent to pull it off.

I removed the head, hands and legs from a Cheetah figure. The legs from Supergirl fit very nicely into the hips of Cheetah. I did need to use a Dremel to carve out the areas where the skirt would attach into place.

The wig needed a little putty to properly fit on to the Supergirl head, but the eyebrows were a near perfect match to the hair color.

I made the logo from Aves Apoxie Sculpt. I rolled the putty flat with a rolling pin and used a stencil to cut it out. The lower portion is actually a separate piece so it allows the abdominal joint to still function.

The hands from Mary Batson are a male socket, and Cheetah's forearms have a male socket as well. So I made the fists into female joints. They can actually be removed without damaging the figure as well, should I decide to add some interchangeable hands down the line.

The fish-net stocking are from Black Canary (not pictured). I basically just trimmed them off and made a couple of garters from some black elastic. They are glued down so they do not slide, but honestly they are tight enough to not need the glue. I purposely cut holes in the stockings at the request of the person I was making it for. Also they do not hinder any of the articulation.

Since there is very little detail in this figure to paint, I did take the time to paint the laces dark gray, and each lace rivet gold. The boot cut joint did need to be slightly modified to all for the boot-cut joint to still function as well.

My friend collect the majority of his stuff MOC, so I was able to cut out the side of the package and glue some portions together so that it can be put back in the package. She slides out from the right side.

All in all I felt it came out alright. If I could do it again I think I would re-work the neck post so that the head sits a little lower. Construct criticism is always really appreciated. Thanks!
