Here is the pre-Crisis Supergirl's pet cat Streaky. He is made from a Reaper miniatures bobcat familiar. After a failed attempt to remove the mini's legs and reattach them in a flying pose, I simply used some greenstuff to crudely replace them. Greenstuff is also used to extend the tail and form the tie in the front for Atom Eve's cape. The flight peg is borrowed from a Fantastic Forces Black Knight.

The release of the Superman set could, of course, only mean one thing: time to update the Legion of Super-Pets! While WizKids somehow forgot to include these characters in the set, I did decide to make the team more effective in play by swapping Streaky from the old Unleashed rookie Supergirl to the new Kryptonian Soldier dial. It is the kind of dial that makes Streaky look more powerful than Krypto, but that's more of a sign that Krypto's dial hasn't aged as well as it could have. Anyway, Krypto's still 13 more points than Streaky to activate that "minion" power.
