To be honest, when I first heard we were getting Nova in Marvel Legends, I thought it was the golden Herald herself, Frankie Raye after having the 5 inch version when I was a kid. As she turned out to be a he, I thought it as time to submit a custom of the Surfers ex squeeze. Used a Wasp body with smoothed hips and crotch with a Psylocke head. I was gonna use the 5 inch hair but it looked awkward so I dremelled the face from a Marvel Select Phoenix and added the hair to the figure then used hot glue and ink to blend it to the right size. The paint is a chrome spray with my first go at Testors ink - waaaay better than Citdel inks imho. I went over the highlights with thinners to get the silver back similar to how the ML5 Surfer had the toning to it too. Hope you like!
Galactus will have to crack down on his work force... especially after what I heard Airwalker and Firelord got up to in the lav at the Christmas party!
Great custom though! Your a braver man than me to tackle the Nova hair dilemma. You really managed to get the right firey effect though.
I always thought we would get a Frankie Raye Nova in the Marvel Legends series as it would've been a great way for the companies to make a plain female body that could spawn a thousand repaints. Alas, 'twas not to be.
