It took me a while to find a head sculpt with long hair that I liked, but I finally managed to make a Dejah Thoris custom to go with my John Carter and Tars Tarkas figures. Aside from the head, which is a custom the clothes and sword are BFS pieces with some Green Stuff to make her top.
Most depictions of Dejah go for the cheesecake micro bikini or pasties, but I've always liked the warrior outfits Lynn Collins wore in the movie, so I went with that, although the color came out darker than I was hoping for. Also, trying to paint those red marks on her stomach, arms and legs were a nightmare. Even with a pin brush, it's not easy. I also tried to go for a more redd-ish skin tone, taking cues from the Dynamite comics look and the post Lynn Collins usually makes with her sword in the movie. And here she is with my John Carter custom, back to back with her husband And finally, all three heroes of Barsoom together. Each of them aping a look of my favorite iterations: The Marvel Comics look for John Carter, the Trendmasters figure for Tars Tarkas and the movie version for Dejah Thoris. I'm glad I got to do this one. It's not perfect, but it rounds out my Barsoom figures. |

Thanks everyone! I was nervous about this one, but then again, when am I not nervous about these customs.

Nice job again. As I've said you've really found your niche doing the pulp figures. It's fun to see all of them come to life in figure form.

All three figures look real good and I can appreciate the wardrobe choice. I liked Lynn Collins in the movie too. Great characters, glad to see them well remembered. I had hopes that they might reboot The League of Extraordinary Gentleman and have John Carter as the new leader and the Traveller from The Time Machine as the villain. Now I'm rambling...

Flint, as always you flatter me. Thank you so much. I can only hope to one day get the level of painting, sculpting and photography that you have.
Theoverlordcorp, thank you so much too. Trust me, you're not rambling. That would have made for an amazing sequel. I love that League of Extraordinary Gentleman movie. |
