Dark Hawkeye (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
This guy has been mostly finished for a while, but his bow was giving me trouble. I wanted to give him the most comic accurate one i could find, which means using a green arrow bow. Unfortunately, the dcuc bow has that plastic string and an arrow made for a 6 year old attached to it... even more unfortunately, the only proper DCD bow i could find comes with a figure whos like $30... and i'm not going to throw down $30 for a bow. However, i was at the Good Will earlier today, and there was an unopened DCUC green arrow sitting in there for $5... so i figured what the hell, i'll give it a shot. Cut off the string and arrow, and replaced it with cord from the old SMC daredevils batons. He's all bucky cap with sculpted elements. His quiver is from taskmaster, with a bunch of ends of toy arrows glued in there, and then two removable arrows i made from styrene. I don't remember what his loin cloth is from... just random fodder, and he's done. I'm just one member of the Dark Avengers away from completely the team (not counting noh-var, cause he was with the team for what... a minute?)... Venom, you're next... if i ever get to you.  Please wait... |

I ended up slicing the plastic bow string off of my green arrows bow, re-stringing it, and using the plastic string by cutting it in two and making 2 arrows out of it. The first one I took the "toy" arrow it was attached to, cut the ends off, and then drilled into them to attach the plastic string as the new shaft of the arrow. Then it actually is in scale for an arrow for this bow, the original is comically too small to draw on that bow. The rest of the cut ex-bow string got turned into an arrow using fodder from the old bin.
Wow sorry for the essay, this interested me because I just finished that yesterday, when I got a green arrow for $5 at a discount store we have here in canada called winners. Strange coincidence, we both got him for $5 eh?
