World of Nintendo Gravity Suit Samus

I can't believe how nice this figure turned out.

For some reason, I've always preferred Samus in her Gravity Suit. I guess purple seems more appropriate for a bounty hunter than orange. (And don't get me started about Zero Suit Samus!)

Taking the figure, I applied metallic purple and gold paint over the more plain purple and yellow that the figure was sporting. You can see what the original figure looked like here.

This picture doesn't do the figure justice but oh, well…

(I also did the morph ball.)

Microman Supergirl

It's been over a year since I last posted something. A lot has happened since then and not much either. I'm really happy that the CW picked up Supergirl for a second season.


Speaking of Supergirl, here is a custom paint job that i have been meaning to do for a while. This is the Microman version of Supergirl. It's basically a Japanese figure of Superman's famous cousin with a very anime looking face.  Both Batman and Superman were made in this line, and you can check out the figures more here.


Unfortunately, the figure is based on Supergirl's 200X design where there is less costume than there should be. Also, what I didn't like about the figure was that the shoulder ball joints were flesh colored instead of metallic blue. (The one thing i really liked was the articulated hair.)

So, with some metallic blue of my own, I painted her mid-drift and shoulder sockets. Now, I'm not sure how long the paint will stay on her shoulder sockets, but it looks good at the moment. Being a fan of Supergirl in the 80s, I had to paint her skirt red though I don't think it turned out as well as her mid-drift.
