So, since I am a big fan of the classic Superboy/Adventures of Superboy TV Series, and since I was no longer happy with the previous custom I did of Gerard Christopher as Superboy after I completed work on my Lex Luger as the "New" Superboy figure (since the previous Superboy was not in scale with the Lex Luger figure), I decided that I should give it another go and this time make one that was more in scale with the Lex Luger as the "New" Superboy figure.
So, in order to do this figure, I decided to re-use the recipe that I created for my Superman, Jr. figure, I took a DC Universe Classics/Signature Super Powers 30th Anniversary Superman figure, and used the boil and pop method to remove his head. Next, I used my Dremel to sand down the ball joint attached to the Superman figure's neck into a cylindrical post. Once the cylindrical post was formed, I next used my Dremel to partially hollow out the head of a DC Universe Classics All-Star New 52 Superman. Next, I mixed up a small batch of Milliput and jammed it into the newly formed cavity inside the head, and, while the Milliput was still soft, I jammed the cylindrical post attached to the neck of the Superman figure into the Milliput to create a small hole in the center of the head cavity and let it dry. Next, I test fit the head onto the neck, and satisfied with how the head and neck fit together, I set them aside and started repainting the head with a home brewed flesh tone paint that closely matched the skin of the DC Universe Classics/Signature Super Powers 30th Anniversary Superman figure and Testors Model Masters Flat Black for the hair and eyebrows. When the paint dried, I applied two generous coats of Flat Clear to the head. When the Flat Clear had finally dried, I glued the head in place atop the neck post. With the new head now attached, I glued new symbols onto his chest and cape (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 match the symbols worn on Gerard Christopher's Superboy costume), and TA-DA...Superboy from the TV Series Superboy/Adventures of Superboy!!!
