Here was my contribution to the Holiday Swap on Facebook.

I was asked to make a DC Steel figure. I wasn't exactly sure which version of Steel he wanted but I figured if he wanted a DCU style Steel he would just buy a Mattel figure. So I decided I would make a ML version of the character. So I took all the parts I liked off of the DCSH Steel and would add them to a ML. The question was which base figure I wanted to use. After a lot of research I finally decide to use the ML Thor buster IM. I liked that the figure was taller and more imposing than most ML yet at the same time it wasn't too overly large. I know that most incarnations of the character he dons a cape but I just didn't think it fit this version of him. I liked the JLU version of Steel where he is cape less. The cape added a splash of red to the character's design that he desperately needed so without the cape I decided to give him small accents or red on his wrists and ankle.

He was a lot of fun to make and I hope the recipient was satisfied with Steel.

Happy Holidays to all and as always thanks for all the support.

Brother...this is one EPIC piece! He literally looks like he weighs a ton! I am totally loving the metallic finish you gave him! And the design is PERFECT! It definitely screams 'Steel', but is so much better than his original design!

Very cool and innovative use of the Thorbuster IM body! I never knew what else could be done with that figure, Steel was a brilliant idea.
