    The Man of Steel

    I'm a sucker for Superman figures, so I decided to try my own styling a bit. I used a BEEFY body and a royal blue suit. This is my second hand-sewn suit, so keep that in mind. Head is from Austin and the emblem is from thatbatmanguy. THe boots are a temporary prototype till I get the real thing. I eventually plan on doing other versions of Supes based on different eras. I think this one most closely resembles Ed McGuiness or possible an eight inch version of the 1984 SUper Powers figure. I still haven't perfected my cut lines for the neck and head joint. When I view these pics, all I see are imperfections. I'll get better sometime.

      Really like this head, All you need to do is shorten the neck on the body part so it doesn't show so much. Its fun watching your evoloving custom style.

              That's what I'm talking about, that's a Superman that can kick ***
              And you did an amazing job on the suit, great sewing skills, especially since this is just your second time

                    Very nice. Great details especially for an early custom. I think you did a great job. Love those beefy arms.

                          That came out great Scott.

                          I agree with Tbolt about the neck, though. Since there is a nice sized neck already on the body, you should sand/Dremel down the neck on the head a little.

                          Keep up the great work!

                            Very nice job! yeah the neck needs work and the suit is great. But is it just me or does he look a little too excited? or endowed for a toy?
