The action figure was built by someone who goes by the name "Xysma the Warhorse" on the figurerealm.com website. Here's his description of the process:
I've been getting into the pulp heroes lately, reading some of The Spider books and just recently got the Black Bat Omnibus for my Kindle. I decided to make three heads for this figure, an unmasked version, the original complete face mask, and the cowl, which became his more famous look. I used the Owl for the base, Bronze Tiger lower legs, and Starman forearms, Yellow Lantern Batman cape.Click the image for more pictures and maybe view Xysma's profile to check out more of his work. Wonder if he's ever done a Miss Fury...
Edit: Oh, damn, there is a Miss Fury out there! "Emmett" fielded this one (in 2009 no less):
One of the earliest female characters in comics. From 1941 to 1952. Created, written and drawn by June Tarpe Mills, one of the few women in the business. Miss Fury is the inspiration for Marvel's Hellcat. (from Comic Vine site) For this character I took a Cat-Woman figure and switched out the feet with a Marvel Select Elektra. I removed the "cat" goggles and painted a mask on her. Gave the whole figure a once over with Black acrylic paint. Finally I gave it a light coat of Testors Dullcote.Awesome.
