Ah, Black Canary! I'm thrilled she's made it on to episodes of JLU. I truly hope Mattel sees fit to make an official version. Until then, this will have to do.

The body is the first version of Mattel's Wonder Woman, chosen primarily for the heels. The right arm was swapped for the last Hasbro Poison Ivy's right arm. Kneadatite makes up the sleeves, sleeve and boot cuffs, and the jacket itself. Her choker collar is simply vinyl.

The head.... is something I'm not 100% happy with. I chose the Jack-in-the-Box Batgirl head for two reasons: 1) It's a rounder shape than other female animated heads, and Canary's head is rounder than, say, Wonder Woman's. 2) I wanted some variety on the shelf. (Lots of Wonder Woman and Witchblade heads being used lately.) Ultimately, this may not have been the best choice, as the eyes are a bit too far apart and angled. Her hair is shaped from Kneadatite, though it too is less than perfect. Those are tough shapes to replicate! I may yet try the head again. In the meantime, here's hoping the "If I take the trouble to make it, then Mattel will follow" curse is in effect.
