One new entry, and one second version of one I've done before.

Starman Thom Kallor





I've actually done this Starman twice before, but it's long overdue payment for a friend. Simple Amazo repaint.

The Riddler





I have had this one planned for quite a while. In fact, I made the mistake of mentioning it to Stew lol, and he asked to cast a copy of the head. Unfortunately, once I got it back real life got in the way. Here's my version. It's the head and hands from a Rumble Ready Riddler from B:TAS and a Tomar Re body. Eventually I'll add the cane, but I got lazy.

I have a couple of Teen Titans I'm working on now.

Great figures. Riddler especially. There just may be a third floating around here soon.

very nice. I love that Riddler.

i still love hove you make the starman. the riddler is a great piece that you've done also. great work my friend.

Hey there everyone. Long overdue for an update here. Here's my version of an often produced one, but I just felt he had to be done. And yes, I've already fixed the belt so the strap goes under it instead of over but I'm too lazy to take new pics lol.

Speedy





Speedy was made from a Waverider body with sculpted hair. His backpack came from an extra Green Arrow, and his bow came from a cast Stew made for me. Thanks Stew!

Also, be sure to check out my entry in our Iron Chef Challenge at Custom Justice. Black Hand!



Thanks everyone!

*** Blows off the dust from this thread ***

I'm slow, but I do what I can lol. I hope you guys like these. Both of them were taken almost directly from Casimir's recipes.

Metallo





I was lucky enough to pick up one of the S:TAS Metallo figures back around Christmas time. I scored a lot of figures off eBay for all of $8, and he was included along with Battle Suit Lex. However, that Metallo was designed to ride that airbike. So it looks like he's trying to do the splits. I took one of the old school Joker's legs, added them on, and repainted the pants. I also cut off the hands and turned them and reattached them. He's a little tall, but not so much that I can't live with it.

Kilowog





I was so excited when I first heard they were reissuing Kilowog as a single. Then I saw the pics, and like most people I was sadly disappointed. He's just so TINY. So I took the head Mattel did, and attached it to an Aquaman body (which IS too big lol). I swapped out the forearms for Martian Manhunter arms, and repainted him accordingly. Stew had sent me a chest decal a long time ago, so I added it and voila.

Hope you enjoy!

Well done, sir! Nice to see these finished and finalized.

Thanks for the compliments Casimir. I really enjoyed these two, and genuinely hope that Mattel will release Metallo at some point for the JLU line.

And of course, long term I hope they're able to invest some of their money in a new, correctly scaled Kilowog.

Awesome, awesome job Tex!

Well, for those who haven't yet seen our SDCC Extravaganza thread over at Custom Justice, I figured I'd post my contributions here. Although, I highly recommend you check out the thread at CJ.

Golden Age Atom
I'd always wanted to do this character, so I figured this would be a good time. He was made using a Batman Body with an Atom Smasher head. I also took a little length out of his lower legs to make sure he was shorted than the other figures.




Golden Age Starman
I saw an image of this character several years ago and always loved his appearances in JSA. Since I was already doing Atom, I figured I'd add this one. He was a straight Waverider repaint, with a scuplted head fin, rubber band belt, and mirror master holster added on the side. Emblem was decouppaged, and the Cosmic Rod was made using a cut down version of the one that comes with Stargirl.




Star Spangled Kid
I love the way this character turned out, but oh my good gravy those stars were a pain. I used a small print version of the one Casimir has on his site for download that he used for Stargirl. Just made it easier to get them straight lol. Straight repaint of an Atom figure, and then decouppaged each and every one of those stupid stars.




Golden Age JSA




Batman Green Lantern
Easy repaint. Already had Sinestro Corps Batman, so needed the opposite side.




Namor
Repaint of a Sinestro, with wings from a broken Namor figure from the old Marvel 5" line. Also added sculpted bracelets and belt.

Black Manta
Black Manta is another one that had been on my workbench forEVER. The head, speargun and backpack were all courtesy of Stew. The hosing came from some plastic tubing I had lying around. The body was from the Kilowog I tore the head off of to make my new and improved version of Kilowog lol.




Aquaman Classic
I just don't understand this. It isn't difficult Mattel. We asked you for Aquaman in his classic orange. What do you give us? A repaint of your current Frankenstein's monster. Never mind that the figure is already too big, now you make things worse. If you're all about budget and repaint, here you go. I took the Captain Atom with no alterations and repainted it. One of my favorite customs too. There, I've just saved you some research and development budget. ::) And I even stole it from Angst (told you I was copying this)!







Golden Pharaoh
This is another one that sat on my bench for a very long time. I had this one planned to do way back when I did Samurai, but it never got done. So I figured this was the perfect time. Golden Pharaoh was made using a Lex Luthor head that I sculpted to smooth out a bit. The body came from a 9POA Green Lantern, and the skirt came from the bottom part of Shining Knight's tunic. The headpiece was cut vinyl. The staff came courtesy of our very own Jesterboy and Stew. Jester actually had the original, and Stew sent me a cast copy of it.

Golden Pharaoh was a Kenner created character for the old Super Powers line. But his look was, well in my opinion a little stupid. Then I saw Swass Designs' take on it, and I knew what I had to do.

Wow - quiet in here lol. Here's an update of my most recent stuff. Hope you enjoy.

As always with a big project, I bit off more than I could chew this summer. These two were planned for the Super Powers extravaganza at Custom Justice, but time ran out and I didn't get back to them until last month.

The first one is Tyr, minion of Darkseid of 31st centure Legion villain depending on what source you use lol. Tyr was made from a 9POA John Stewart with sculpted mohawk. The gun arm was taken from an Apocalypse figure from the old Marvel Toy Biz line that I got on ebay for dirt cheap.





The second custom is the Superfriends version of Toyman. I've always loved this version, and new at some point that I'd have to make him. I modeled him after the Alex Ross Justice series version, and even included the wooden toy version for fun. He was made using a 5POA Flash figure, with sculpted shoulders and head. The Flash face didn't quite fit after I got started though, so I took a chin from Elongated Man and swapped them out.

Earth Man was a character I saw and for some reason just fell in love with. He's a Legion villain, part of the Justice League of Earth. Then I saw theguff's custom version and new I had to copy it. Earth Man is a simple recipe - a repainted Captain Atom with sculpted sideburns.



Here's a reference pic that I used. His friends will be joining him very soon.

I got very very lucky and won a big lot of old Batman Animated figures off ebay about a year ago. Included in that lot was a Creeper figure. The figure is very well done, except it was far too big to really fit in among my JLU collection. I've seen several custom versions, and I took ideas from each of them. I took the lower legs and lower arms and cut them off the B:TAS figure. I also took the head, and attached it to a Mirror Master figure from JLU. Then I added on the Creeper arms and legs. Hope you like the result.

Earth Man! Awesome! I can't wait to see the whole team. That was a fun arc, and I just love Frank's art.
