Breaking Free of the Pattern

Easter 2010: The "original 4" had been built several times until the sizing had been perfected so they all stood the same height. The Gypsy has yet to be purchased, but a dilemma arises: if we were to build one for each of our nieces and nephew, how do we give them each their own without giving someone the shaft of a villain? A total of three children, but patterns for only two heroes and two villains. What to do?

Bill had already been debating about how to make Aquaman, and this was the incentive he needed.

Aquaman: The first customized Cube Dude

By combining elements of the Superman pattern with the Batman pattern, customizing some parts with an old fashioned pair of scissors, and changing up the colours, viola! We have three Heroes for three children.

This leads Bill to a new dilemma... Superman has his Lex Luthor, Batman has his Joker... where is Aquaman's nemesis?

And now that he has three heroes, can he make an entire Justice League?
