Like my Custom She-Hulk or I will come to your house and rip up all of your X-Men Comics! Ha! Ha!
I've been a big She-Hulk fan ever since I read Dan Slott's run a few years ago. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to pick up any of the ML She-Hulks for a good price and she isn't represented in my collection yet. I was planning on using the ML Lyra as a base for a custom, but she's one of those figures that slipped through the cracks and never saw release. Obviously I would like to have a regular version of She-Hulk in her typical superhero costume, but I thought this would be a fun, easy custom that can tide me over until I get a more proper She-Hulk figure. The base figure is a WWE figure I found a while back. She was only $10 so I bought her without really knowing what I would use her for. I decided to use her for She-Hulk because Jen often practices law in her She-Hulk persona and the height and build of this figure seemed like a good fit for the character. I cut off the figure's earrings and repainted her face and chest first. Then I painted the hands and exposed skin on her feet. Finally, I sculpted on some bigger, more poofy bangs and even included the wisp of hair in front as a nod to the way John Byrne drew her in his Sensational She-Hulk run. I painted her hair black and drybrushed it with a couple different shades of green. The base figure had pretty decent articulation and my custom retains all of it. now I just need to find a tiny briefcase for her to carry. Thanks for looking! |

Was that a Stephanie Mcmahon figure? It looks like a great custom!

Wait... people still read X-Men comics???
She looks great brother! Although I have never seen an attorney smile that big unless they were up to something. Well done though!

I think it was. I've never really been into wrestling and I threw the package away a month or two ago right after I bought it. I always keep an eye on the WWE figures when I walk by for custom fodder. Thanks so much!

Maybe your old X-Men comics then, or something else. Bottom line: She-Hulk will mess up something that is dear to you heart. :-D Thanks for the kind words.

Looks great. I just got done reading slott's run on she hulk and I feel like that figure captures the essence of his run.

Aren't those comics great? Dan Slott's She-Hulk books are some of the best comics I've ever read. I'm sure my friends are sick and tired of me talking about them by now, but I really believe that everyone should check out that run. I even have some prints of a few covers that I bought from Greg Horn and got signed.

Thanks! I found this Wrestling Superstore website a while back. I have been meaning to buy a wheelchair from them for a custom Oracle, but I haven't found a good base body to use for her yet. They have tons of things like trashcans, camera equipment, fire extinguishers, dumpsters and all kinds of other props to go with figures. I bet they have briefcases too.
