Babs here started as a spare parts project. I had used the upper portion of a Lois Lane figure for my Mercy Graves custom. This left Lois' skirt and legs, which are almost perfect for the Babs design. The skirt should be a hair shorter, but it's close enough for a custom I didn't really want to put much effort into. The torso and arms had already had extensive work done to them for a previously abandoned project. Put the two halves together and I almost had a finished piece. The torso belongs to Hasbro Supergirl, as well as parts of the arms. The arms had been broken and reattached in numerous places. The hands may have come from a Harley or someone else, I really don't remember. All that was needed was a head.

Based on the success of my Lois-from-Supergirl head, I used the same base here. I used Kneadatite to fill in the headband and create the new bangs (after sanding the original Supergirl bangs off.) The length of hair on her back belonged to Lois (removed from the Mercy custom). Kneadatite filled in the gap, and sanding made it look like one piece.

A solid paint job later, and I now have a decent Babs. Of course, for a project that was not supposed to require much effort, she took a lot.
