Description
Trying something a bit different- customized action figures. I DO feel this is a craft and an artform given the creativity involved.

For those that don't know, this involves taking an existing figure (or figures) and making them into a character that hasn't been released by the toy company. I collect the DC Universe Classics line made by Mattel until a few years ago and feel the need to fill out the roster of missing characters using figures from that particular line as much as possible. If I can remember it, I will try to include the 'recipe' I used in making each new figure.

Black Condor I is a Golden Age character from Quality comics before they were bought out by DC Comics. He is a member of Uncle Sam's original Freedom Fighters and the All-Star Squadron. Pretty sure he's mostly just a Superman repaint with some added bits like a GA Starman's gun and holster.
