    Supreme

    Hi. Been a little while since I posted a custom. Just finished him yesterday. The body and suit are from Castaway. The head is from BlackKnight. Most people use this head for the Punisher but when I first saw him I thought Supreme. The boots are original Superman Mego. The trim is red electrical tape. With having the squinty eyes, I didn't see the major need to paint eyes. The cape I got from TJ's, and came really fast. I ordered it on Wednesday and got it Friday.

    I always liked the Supreme character from Image Comics back in the early 90's. I just never thought he got a fair attempt. I didn't even like the Alan Moore version either. Too much of a Superman rip off. Oh well.

          Looks Pretty Damn Cool Kev.
          Never Thought about going with some Rob Liefeld love with the Head.

              Thanks. I know Supreme has these massive arms in the comics but I wanted to stay more true to the Mego way. Love the Castaway body to add some more defined muscles.

              I actually got to meet Brian Murray, the original artist, once way back at a con in Detroit in like 93 or 94 whenever Supreme first came out. He was pretty cool guy, very grateful for the fans.

                  He Has to be, ... With that character comming outta Robbie's Camp.

                  NAW !!!
                  Actually Supreme has a Huge Following,.. from What I have been learning Recently,.. He is Probably the Biggest character that Robbie Did Have ... Personally,.. I never have read a single Book,.. & I read a TON of Image Books Back in the Day,.. Just kinda Stayed away from Most books with the R.L. Tag on them...

                      ^^ Its the Alan Moore work that brought the character up from being a pure Superman ripoff. He has a following in spite of Leifeld's creation of him.


                      Great custom, and good use of that head.
