It took a LONG time to complete our trade...years. Both of us went through health problems with parents and in-laws and it has eaten more into John's free time for sure
(John Jezior=actorjez). The figure originally began as an ANIMAL MAN custom, so that should tell you something about when this all began. Not long after that I found out DC was making an Animal Man, so he just continued him as CAPT. ATOM since he wasn't far along.
In the meantime there have been TWO Animal Man figures (plus JLU one at least) and I doubted that I'd ever see any made commercially. The older I get time just flies by (unfortunately). I couldn't believe how long it had been when I checked our messages on
FWOOSH when he sent me photos for approval.
So, it's not like he was lazy or a slacker and I am SOOOOOO proud of it. Now if they make a DC Direct or DCUC one I will REALLY be surprised! Now if I can swap someone artwork to make me a quality DOCTOR SOLAR (Silver Age) custom. I've seen a couple of good ones online, but it is hard to see fine detail on either to know if they would hold up to close scrutiny. Solar would sure have an easier costume.
Lordy, I need to straighten up my studio soon...it has gotten embarrassingly cluttered again.
