My Custom SHAZAM!

Again, I use the term "custom" loosely. Here I did a couple of subtle changes which I think made a big difference.

Having recently picked up Alex Ross' Shazam: Power of Hope (A very cool comic, BTW). I realized how OFF the Shazam figure is compared to his comic counterpart. Mego, as always, did a great job capturing the "spirit" of the character if not his exact look. There were three things I changed which I think really improve the figure.

1. New Cape: This was easy. Some white fabric, gold trim, and thin gold string that looks like rope. All were put together using fabric glue.
2. Belt: Not really a belt, this is more like a scarf tied around his waste. Some creative folding and a little fabric glue hold it together (not glued to the original suit, of course)
3 Lightning Logo: For this, I took some sticker paper and glued some of the gold fabric too it. I then cut out the logo and it's now a cloth sticker that looks much better!
