This is a custom I've been really excited but very nervous to do. I had to find just the right parts and feel very comfortable trying some stuff. After much trial and error, I can finally add The Shadow to my pulp hero customs.
Hat: Indiana Jones Fedora Head: Knight of Accord from Boss Fight Face covering: Mask from Dime Novel Legends Torso: German Soldier from Marauders Trechcoat: General Hux Hands: Marauders hands with the ring made from green stuff Waist and Legs: Maraurder suit legs Cape: Custom from eBay Guns: Phantom 1911 pistols The Shadow The Cape can fold The Ring With Doc Savage Overall I'm very happy with how this came out. I was gonna use the standard shirt and tie torso, but it looked too simple. I guess I was going for an amalgamation of the pulp covers, the Alec Baldwin film and the covers from the Dynamite comics. I'm most proud of the ring, as I really wanted to have that in there and the cape I found on eBay. It's a wired cape, so I'm able to get some really nice poses with it. |

Looks great from what I can see (I am at work and only the thumbnail picture shows; filters on my computer block the linked pictures)! Fits in well with the characters BFS has been producing, as well as characters like Doc Savage (who I see his name in your post, but again, I can't see the photo).

Cool AF! I've always wanted to have a sort of "pulp/noir" group of figures: The Shadow, Dick Tracy, stuff from Manly Wade Wellman stories, Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe...shit like that.

Bro, you've captured the essence of Shadow beautifully! Really like the soft cape and ring added. Your choice of parts couldn't be better. Great work!

Very cool. Thought about grabbing one if those capes to update my own Shadow, and it looks pretty damn good
