I cut off the model hands and used the wrist gauntlets only. The model pieces were cleaned up, sanded, and trimmed, as the original custom's trim work of the model parts was sloppy, obviously done in a rush. It was difficult to get onto the body, and the zipper busted on the back, resulting in my having to sew the costume shut. I purchased a female leather-like jumpsuit from Ebay, as I wanted the body suit to fit tight. I wanted posable hands for the figure, so I used black colored hands from a GI Joe, busting open the forearms of the Dragon figure and inserting the new hands, then taping the forearms back up so that the hands were posable.

I opted to use a 12 inch base figure made by Dragon for the new body. To my shock, the body suit was dark blue and had been spray painted black. I pulled everything apart and scrapped the base GI Joe figure entirely.

Well, I recently decided to give it a complete revamp. Sometimes you get burned when buying custom figures. This was actually a custom figure I paid a pretty penny for 15 years ago.and it was of dubious quality. Here is my 12 inch figure of Batman in his Sonar Suit as he appeared in the 1995 film, Batman Forever.
