![[Superman the Movie Christopher Reeve with Custom F] So this was a requested figure. A fellow superman lover admired my previous submission. He only asked that i include a box in the mix now that it seems to be my things. With the figure i took a slightly different approach then the first one. i really wanted to keep as much as the articulation as humanly possible with out killing the look of the figure. I tried for a more movie accurate version of the belt and cape. I redid the design of both the chest and cape S,,,The box is a totally custom creation. The fortress cover to the box connects and stays closed with transparent velcro, The inside does slide out. I hope he enjoys it as much as i liked making it.

This was a fun figure to make i had just the upper legs of starman sitting in my fodder bin, and a superman upper body,, and went to work, DCUC supes upper body, starman upper legs, marvel legends Blade shins and feet. A little bit of sculpting on shirt and cuffs on the bottom of the jeans, and knee patches,The figure kept articulation, but the joints were a little looser then i would have expected. Still very nice. The box is a wider, sturdier version of the one i made for the first one.

![[Dc Flashpoint Superman-Subject 1 with Custom Conta] So I have to admit that i did not read flashpoint at first, but after seeing superman drawn skinny and gaunt i knew i had to. This figure was a lot of fun to make,, Figure is a dcuc dead man, with kamandi calves and ankles, dcuc batman feet, the head is a Unmasked Rorschach figure with major hair sculpting. I created the logo myself. For this figure i wanted to do something really original for the box, i loved in the story how he was kept in a vault, so i decided to make the box his vault, the front panel opens to reveal the inner vault chamber (held close by transparent velcro tabs) and sealed transparent door. The inside box can be pulled out for display, but the box looks pretty cool. The back contains pictures, as well as full original stats and bio:

![[DC Multiverse Overman: Superman of Earth-10 with C] So I have wanted to do this figure for a long time. I was a little worried that people would think I am a neo-Nazi or something without some context.
In any case, this figure is a batman beyond body base, with a sculpted belt to be comic accurate. I used a paint technique I have never used before, where I did multiple layers of dry brushing only, with slightly lighter color with each layer. I think it turned great. Plus the figure retains all of the original articulation except for the neck and hip swivel now are a bit stiff. Chest emblem was custom from scratch using Adobe Illustrator. Head is from DCSH superman with removal and re-sculpting of the scalp on the side to match the comic book character who has it shaved to the skin. Cape is from a DCUC superman with lots of cutting to make attach properly.
This is my second attempt at packaging; I tried to make this more stylish and fitting then the other one. Designed on Adobe Illustrator, and printed on a High Res Laser Printer.

After putting the figure together I just felt that it needed a box for display. So I put together the custom box. It’s a real box; I created using Adobe Illustrator, all of the images printed with a High Res printer. I think the box really adds something. Funny Story I made like three smaller versions of the box in the beginning just to make sure that it went together perfectly and was sturdy.
The Figure itself is a stone cold Steve Austin figure. I clipped the bottom of the jeans, re-sculpted the rolled up bottoms, and repainted the jeans a more comic blue jean color. I sculpted the bottom and top of the t-shirt, sanded down and painted. Cape is from a dc direct first appearance Superman figure (Irony!) Head is from a dc direct secret identity superman.

![[12 Inch Death of Superman- Restored] So I many of the customs I made in 2006 and 2007 ended up in boxes thanks to my wife. I have been going through them and trying to repair, repaint, and restore them when I can. I first did this figure in 2006, you can see it here on figure realm. when I removed him from his tomb in the box, all of the clay sculpted pieces had broken off, and skin had faded. So I set about restoring and repainting the figure.
First I repainted the body. I gave the suit a lighter more royal blue. I repainted the skin, and shading and highlights. Painted over some of the original bruises give them more of an under the skin look. Then I used scrapbook foam to represent and more torn and tattered look. This is how he appeared in the battle with doomsday. Figure has been sealed still articulate. I also sealed the blood with a high gloss to give it that wet look. Hope you enjoy.](userimages/customs/28000/27926-1.jpg) 12 Inch Death of Superman- Restored D.C.

I always wanted a chris reeve superman since the day I first watched superman the movie. It became a labor of love when I finally started it after DC direct released the New Krypton figure. I wanted to find just the right sized body and scale. I wanted as movie accurate as possible. I obsessed about it. I sculpted the boots, gave the head a brand new paint job. Gave the body a custom paint job, sculpted the belt as well. Used and Sculpted the cape from a DCUC figure. whole figure is sealed to retain as much articulation as possible. I still think I could do better but I hope that you guys like this as much as I do. Because its my favorite figure I have ever made.

![[Superman Battle Damage Battle Rage Jim Lee Style! ] So this is a figure I made back in 2007. After my wife put much of my personal customs in a box last year all they have been doing is collecting dust. So I decided recently to take some of the older ones and try to spruce them up, make them cleaner and tighter then before. Ill be the first to admit my skills were lacking early on. I have matured so now I was ready to give them the treatment they deserve. Plus some of them I decided to sell. So here is a jim lee battle damaged superman as he appeared in his battle with Zod during Jim Lees run on the Superman Comic. If you have the comic you know the damage is comic page accurate. I took the orginal figure I made which really because of my poor painting skills at the time was more a statue, and cleaned up the majority of the joints, and cleaned the texture of the figure, and gave it a ligher blue hue, and and darker red on the boots.

![[Death of Superman Anniversary Set] ok so I have been wanting to make this set for a long time. First off, all the figures of doomsday have his bone protrutions as these massive things, but for a superman geek like me, you know that he didn't get the huge shoulder/back bones unitl hunter prey, after the death of. When he orginally came on the scene his shoulder bones were large but not humuguous. I tried to reflect that style. Also I tried to get a real sense to the figure as if it was out in front of your house.
doomsday is:
head: marvel select thanos
torso: ml first appearance hulk
legs: ml select thanos
arms: ml face off hulk
bones: mix of fixit sculpt and protrustions from dc direct doomsday.
