Hi all, I'm looking for a super hero type figure that's dressed a specific way. He needs to be dressed in a suit & tie, with a fedora, domino mask & gloves. He also needs to have an average to muscular build. The DC Comic hero Phantom Stranger gets pretty close but has a cape. Are there any other superheroes that might fit this description? Thanks in advance |

Will Eisner's The Spirit? |

I don't know that anyone makes "The Spirit" figure – which sounds exactly like what BC is looking for, but there might be a figure of DC's "The Question" link that can have a domino mask painted onto the otherwise featureless face. Wyatt |

One of the companies that DC Comics absorbed (possibly Fawcett) published a whimsical Spirit knock-off called "Midnight" who has occasionally cropped up in DC superhero stories. I don't know if there's a clix figure. For other possible figures, have a look through some of the gangster ranges (eg Copplestone, Brigade Games, Blue Moon). It would be an easy enough job to snip away a pistol and paint on gloves and a mask. Given that the Spirit spent a lot of his time with his shirt ripped open, some of the Indiana Jones lookalikes might work. |

I didn't even think about the Spirit. That'd be pretty spot on if there was a figure for it. Wyatt, thanks there is a Question figure, & he definatley looks like a great option. Thanks all for the help. |

the classic question, whit hat and suit, would make an excellent "roscharch" miniature ( you just need to paint the mask) |

link Would any of these work? |

I think the one jumping down comes in two parts and the cape is separate. |

Thanks all for the help. The Pulp Figure one looks nice, but a bit expensive since I'd have to buy the whole set. I think I'll go with the Question heroclix, with possibly a headswap to give him a face. |
