Alright, my first serious attempt at a custom Diana figure had no intention of hiding the crown. It's "Diana of Themyscira". I remember from the comics, the Amazon warriors on Paradise Island were always dressed in white. And I went with a cape because in the movie, the Queen (Diana's mother who's name I can never remember how to spell) wore a cape. Capes are also a quintessential element to characters of the DCEU. Of course if Diana were ever to find her way home she would the be queen and wear the Cape. Also, my bad for posting pics of customs in the general thread. I'm new here. But I do appreciate the feedback received!!!! Lol.
First attempt at a "modern Diana Prince" 1/6 scale figure. Again, since the only option we currently have to make WW's alter-ego with this sculpt is to hide the crown, each of my bashes will be wearing a hat (until HTs or a 3rd party company makes a tiara-free sculpt)!!!! I got tired of looking at the first bash so I threw this one together last night (with a Barbie hat "lol", a peice of fabric from a shirt, the black Cheongsam by Super Duck and (not pictured), MC toys heels. The MC toys make superior footwear for the female Phicen figures. With enough patience your figure can independently stand in the MC shoes.
The lighting isn't great with these (apologies). I know Gadot wore a white dress in BVS, so I'm slowly working towards a movie related custom and the best way to make a hat fit with that theme (skull cap?).
Getting closer! I found some coats and hats on ebay that resemble the coat/hat Gadot wore in the movie when she arrived in London. Unfortunately the one described as "grey" is actually more an olive green. But the tan still creates a similar look. Work in progress.
The hardest part about using this head sculpt (or the Hot Toys BvS Wonder Woman sculpt) is finding the right hat, one that fits and works for whatever era or look you're going for and completely hides WW's Tiara. I've been playing around with hats I got parted out from other figures (and dolls) from eBay, and making my own. I kind of suck with sewing. After the looooooonnnnggggg wait for the figure, I don't have the patience to delay my custom for the wait associated with the Training Armor version (which will obviously be the best sculpt to use when making a Diana Prince 1/6 scale custom figure). Suggestions please!!!!!
Tan coat and hat set.
Third (3rd) homemade skull cap. These aren't that difficult to make but you have to use a "test sculpt" (IMO) to get it right. They may look easy to create but it's tedious; precise work efforts . Ok, so I have a couple sets of trench coats and hats that resemble WW II clothing. To be "movie accurate", I'll have to dye the olive green set gray (if it works I'll post). And I have a couple of options for the rest of her 1940's clothing (also have a pair of nerdy "Clark Kent for Women" reading glasses). But I'm much more interested in making a modern version. I have to watch BvS again, even though there isn't much to work with from the movie. As a fan of the movies and the toys, I'm very much looking forward to Justice League. Remember, if anyone else does a DP custom please share a pic or a link to pic. Thanks. JD
red, white and blue.
Further hat play: so far my favorite.
The skull caps work for the look I'm going for while also serving as a functioning nessessity for this custom figure.
Current day: Diana Prince sits at a park bench in Washington DC quietly waiting for her moment to be Wonderful!!!! Lol. Custom with nerdy glasses. But looking at pics makes me like these glasses less. Where do you buy a pair of more realistic looking 1/6 scale reading glasses?
