"Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! Conversions?" Topic

Cheesy 1970s show Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! Terrific characters for a superhero game, but nobody makes figures licensed from that series (it isn't even available on DVD yet). Has anyone tried to convert other minis into this pair, and, if so, can you share your experience? Dyna Girl's hairstyle is a big hangup. Electra Woman not as hard, but still, these are strikingly hard designs to find compatible matches for repaints or conversions. The originals:

I have to admit I missed this one completely. Never heard of it until a week ago,when I was searching through old TV shows for the Theme Songs poll. If you're going to do them,you should include a Cindy Lauper figure:

Have you seen this year's movie yet?

Well, I must stand corrected, the original series IS out at last on DVD. link

Electra-riffic!

I see buying it in combo with the movie adds only ten bucks. Doesn't speak well for a 2016 movie,does it?

I'm pretty sure I've seen some miniatures with 'dos like Ms. Strangis. Might've been boardgame pieces tho and not available as stand-alone. Was almost sure 4X that Relic Knights has one but apparently not.

Doesn't somebody do some Gilligan's Island figures? Mary Ann would be close.

Of course, I may have imagined it. . .

Years of hypnotherapy to purge Sid & Marty Krofft from my mind, all ruined.

Great, now I can remember the "Dr. Shrinker" theme song again.

A head swap would work with one of these …

… but pigtails are pretty easy. A couple small snakes made of greenstuff and you're in.

Tons of Heroclix would give you good EW and DG figures, possibly a good set of poses, too …

Good leads, thanks!

My impression of the 2016 reboot, based on some trailers, is that it should be avoided. Looks overly self-conscious and ironic-hip. You can't invoke the charm of the campy original if you're always mocking it or winking at it. You couldn't remake the 1960s Batman series for the same reason (altho' the Batman '66 comic series does a good job of paying homage to the original).

There's still room for earnestly silly superheroes, too!

My favourite home-grown superhero is Above Average Guy. He does everything at the 83rd percentile of human performance. So he's better than most people at everything. He's even better than most superheroes at things that they do the same as regular people. So if you need to con your way past a bouncer who doesn't care how much money you have, he's more useful than Batman and if you need to win a karaoke contest to get time with the club owner, Superman is not your first choice, and if you need to pull one over on your high school teachers, you know that Spider-Man could never get away with that (heck, he missed high school graduation because he failed gym!), so … well … OK … you really want Ferris Bueller … but if he's busy making out with Sloane (which means elephant in Russian!), call Above Average Guy!
