![[Superboy (Universe of Evil)] Okay, here comes another of conjectural character, this one based upon the episode of the old Superfriends cartoon, "Universe of Evil", which just so happens to be one of my favorite episodes of the series. In the episode, Superman and his evil other-dimensional counterpart inadvertently exchange realities. The Superfriends series showcased many maistays of classic Pre-Crisis Superman lore, such as the Bottle City of Kandor, the Phantom Zone, the Fortress of Solitude, the Supermobile, and the Superboy career. Using that last part as my basis, I figured that if the universe of "Universe of Evil" was just a mirror image of the mainstream DC Universe at the time, then it is more than likely that theoretically the evil Superman had his own career as Superboy.
To do this figure, I took a DC Direct Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy figure used the boil and pop method to completely disassemble him.

So, using that idea as my basis, I came up with Wonder Boy. This one isn't so much a what if another Golden Age hero had a teen superhero career, so much as it is a what if DC had never sued Fox Publications over Wonder Man. Hypothetically, Victor Fox and Will Eisner would have continued publishing Wonder Man adventures, giving him parallels to everything that Superman had or would eventually have...he would probably have had parallels to Luthor, Ultra-Humanite, the Prankster, Mister Mxyztplk/Mxyzptlk, and Superboy, etc.
To do this figure, I first took a Silver Age Superboy/Supergirl Boxset Superboy figure and, using the boil and pop method, completely disassembled the figure.

Next, I used my Dremel to remove the figure’s cape and belt. Next, while the figure was disassembled, I mixed up a small batch of Milliput and formed the new boot tops and covered over the top of the trunks. When the Milliput had dried, I sanded the new trunk and boot tops smooth. Next I used a small amount of Tamiya Putty White to fill in the grooves of the Superboy chest symbol.

In the mini-series, Superman sports a classic Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring.
The figure was a pretty simple custom to do, involving a right hand swap from a DC Universe Classics Legion of Super-Heroes boxset Ultra Boy onto a DC Universe Classics Gotham City 5 boxset Superman body, along with a minor repaint of the hand with caucasian paint to more closely match that of the Superman figure, and then a coating of flat clear (Note: For anyone else who wants to do this figure, be warned, you will have to deepen the cavity in the right forearm to accommodate the Ultra Boy hand as the existing cavity was too shallow), and TA-DA...Superman as he appeared in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds!!!

![[Major Sivana] Okay, here comes yet another figure in my collection of classic Pre-Crisis DC Universe figures, Major Sivana!
Doctor Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, arch-nemesis of Captain Marvel, hatches yet another brilliant plan to defeat the Big Red Cheese by using his super-science to steal the Powers of SHAZAM and transfer them to himself in DC Comics Presents Annual #3 (1984). During the course of his time using the Powers of SHAZAM, Sivana, wearing a green version of Captain Marvel’s costume, first calls himself “Captain Sivana”, and then later elevates his rank to “Major Sivana”, and battles not just the entire Marvel Family, but also the Supermen of Earths One and Two.
To do this figure, I took a DC Direct SHAZAM Series 1 Captain Marvel, Jr. figure, and after completely disassembling it, repainted all of the blue portions of the figure in green, and then gave it a coating in flat clear.

William Wright was a short, meek and mild teacher with dreams of making it big until he stumbled upon a process that enabled him to use the combined psychic energies of a group of teenagers to make himself all powerful and able to battle Superboy in his appearances in New Adventures of Superboy #‘s 36-37 (Dec, 1982-Jan, 1983).
To do this figure, I took the Movie Masters Dark Knight Harvey Dent figure (since the Movie Masters figures are in fact shorter than the DC Universe classics figures, and are also the exact same height as the DC Direct Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy figure, making it perfect for William Wright’s shorter stature), and removed the head, arms, hands, necktie, and jacket. With the figure now disassembled, I commenced a full repaint of the pants, shoulders, arms, and jacket in green, and his shirt in white.

Don Blake was a blind teenager living in Smallville and an acquaintance of Clark Kent who helped Superboy capture a group of criminals despite his blindness in his single appearance in Superboy #195 (July, 1973).
To do this figure, I took the Movie Masters Dark Knight Harvey Dent figure (since the Movie Masters figures are in fact shorter than the DC Universe classics figures, and are also the exact same height as the DC Direct Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy figure, making it perfect for a 15-year-old's shorter stature), and removed the head, arms, hands, necktie, and jacket.

![[The Ringmaster] Another figure for my classic Superboy collection...the Ringmaster!!!! The Ringmaster made one appearance alongside his henchmen Grillo, Loop, Musculo, and Sloop as the leader of a group called “The World’s Greatest Crime Show”, and battled Superboy and a young Perry White in Adventure Comics #120 (Sept, 1947).
This was a fairly simple figure to do. I had an extra DC Universe Classics Mad Love Joker figure, which I removed the head, tuxedo jacket, arms, and hands from. With the figure headless, jacket-less, arm-less, and hand-less, I cut the tie off and gave him a full body repaint in black for the pants and shoulders and dark blue for the vest to match the artwork from Adventure Comics #120 (Once the black and blue paints were dry, I gave the figure a coating in flat clear). Once fully repainted and coated in flat clear, I used my Dremel to grind down the neck ball joint into a post. With that done, I set the figure aside and began work on the head.

The Brain (not to be confused with the Doom Patrol villain of the same name) was a short, bald-headed peg-legged mad scientist who was the associate of another villain who called himself the General, and both battled Superboy and Krypto in their single appearance in Superboy #82 (July, 1960).
To do this figure, I took the Movie Masters Dark Knight Harvey Dent figure (since the Movie Masters figures are in fact shorter than the DC Universe classics figures, and are also the exact same height as the DC Direct Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy figure, making it perfect for the Brain's shorter stature), and using the boil and pop method, removed the head, hands, arms, jacket, and necktie.

I wanted a custom figure of actor John Rockwell as he appeared in the title roll of Superboy in the 1960 TV Series Pilot for the "Adventures of Superboy". So, using an extra COIE Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy, I set about creating one.
The figure is a pretty straight-forward custom. I slapped on new chest and cape symbols with a little glue (both symbols were made by hand at a larger size, and then photocopied and shrunk to proper size...however, unlike previous hand drawn symbols I had done before, these are drawn to more closely approximate the symbol worn on John Rockwell's costume in the pilot...also, it should be noted that the cape symbol worn by John Rockwell was red and yellow, unlike the more traditional all yellow symbol of the comics), and TA-DA...Superboy as he appeared in the 1960 TV Series Pilot for the "Adventures of Superboy"!!!!

Using that as my basis, I set about making Kid Johnny Quick.
First, I took a DC Universe Classics Kid Flash and used the boil and pop method to remove his head and arms just below the shoulder. I next used a tiny amount of paint remover to completely clean away the Kid Flash lightning bolt from his chest. Next, I used my razor knife to cut off the wings on the sides of the boots. Afterwards, I replaced the arms with those of a Mattel Young Justice Kid Flash found on the 'bay (these arms were used due to the fact that both Kid Flash figures use most of the same parts and are in face compatible, as well as the fact that I wanted my Kid Johnny Quick figure to have similar style gloves to those of Johnny Quick).

![[Security Chief Lieutenant Pavel Andreievich Chekov] So, being a big fan of Cawley Entertainment Company's "Star Trek: Phase II - The New Voyages", I decided I should add a couple of characters from the web series that was designed to continue the story of the Starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. In one specific episode, "Enemy: Starfleet" Chekov, now holding the rank of lieutenant, is promoted further to the position of Chief of Security, and thus now wears a red shirt.
This figure was a very simple head and hand swap from the Mirror Chekov onto the Trials and Tribble-Ations Chief O'Brien body using the boil and pop method (the O'Brien was the perfect choice since it was already in a ST: TOS red shirt). Since the O'Brien figure's forearms were molded from the previously released Scotty figure, I used my Dremel to remove part of the pre-molded lieutenant commander's rank stripes to have only one stripe designating him as a lieutenant.

This figure comes from IDW's Star Trek: Mirror Images mini-series from 2008, and shows how Commander James T. Kirk rose to the command of the I.S.S. Enterprise by assassinating Captain Christopher Pike. So, I set about creating a Mirror Pike as he appeared in the series.
This figure was a simple head swap using the boil and pop method from the Deluxe Captain Pike figure onto the Mirror Kirk body. Once the head was swapped out, ta-da...Mirror Captain Christopher Pike!

So, wanting to fix this blatant screw-up, I took the Mirror Scotty figure and swapped out his lower body for that of a Mirror Kirk using the boil and pop method (you can see the difference between the custom and the released figure in the final pic I have enclosed as you can see the two versions side by side), and once the lower body was swapped out and the plastic had re-hardened, ta-da...Mirror Scotty updated and fixed!

During the Prime Universe crew's time in the Mirror Universe, Kirk (masquerading as his counterpart) is assaulted by Mirror Chekov and his underlings in a failed attempt to assassinate the captain and have everyone move up in rank. During this failed attempt, Kirk's face is beaten and bloodied until one of Chekov's men turned on the ensign and sides with Kirk. When next we see Kirk after this, he is in his quarters with McCoy who notes the dried blood on the captain's face.

Second up is Commander Thelin from the second episode of Star Trek: The Animated Series, "Yesteryear".

Steve Austin - The Six Million Dollar Man himself (actually, I set about making two, one for myself and one for my older sister Carol, who actually had most of the toys from the Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman collections...we used to fight over them as kids, so this was made as an homage to both our childhoods, and as a 30-something year long apology...LOL).
This one was a fairly easy one to do...relatively speaking, that is. I used a custom cast head from Chan Ada in China, and attached a variety of Hot Toys parts, along with a variety of hand sewn clothes purchased on the net to give him that 1970's look.

First, I removed the head and hands from the DC Direct Shazam Series 1 Dr. Sivana body, and commenced a full repaint on the lab coat, pants, and shoes in basic flat white. Next, I used my Dremel to flatten out the remaining neck, and once it was to my liking, I jammed a small glob of Milliput into it, and then stuck a small plastic post into it made from an extra double ball joint I had in the fodder box. I next removed the post from the Milliput and set it aside to dry.

The figure was pretty simple to make. I took the Silver Age Krypto the Superdog figure from the Silver Age Superboy and Supergirl boxset and used the boil and pop method to remove the Krypto head, collar/cape, and all four legs.

Next, I used my Dremel to excavate out a new hole in the Seaquest DSV Hitchcock head, remove the small portion of neck from it so that the head and the Willow figure's neck could fit together nicely and neatly, and grind down the sides, top and back to more match the Willow head once the hair had been removed. Afterwards, I sanded down the neck and peg so that it could accommodate the new head and so that her neck was not out of proportion (remember, the Seaquest figure's head was slightly smaller in scale to the Willow, and you need to mask this once both pieces are attached), which left me with a lower ne](userimages/customs/35000/34951-1.jpg) Lana Lang (Superboy TV Series) DC Directby manomight1974Since we never got a figure of the incomparable and sexy Stacy Haiduk as Lana Lang in the Superboy/Adventures of Superboy TV Series, I set about creat...4 comments | ![[Superman - Long Hair (Superman/Doomsday Animated M] Here is a simple custom made using the DC Direct Superman/Doomsday Series 1 figures.
