    Challenge of the Superfriends "History of Doom" -- Manitou, Suba, and Rayno

    Original air date December 23, 1978:

    The Earth appears to be deserted and everything in ruins. Three aliens land on Earth and try to piece together what has happened. They play back history tapes in the Hall of Justice and learn the origin of the Legion of Doom. When they play back the Legion's history tapes they discover that Luthor launched an Ion powered rocket at the sun creating a solar flare which the Superfriends were unable to stop. The aliens must decide whether they should use their powers to help avert this disaster.







    All three customs are built with heads from CTVT; robes from Brian Leitner; and stickers from Laser Mego.

    Manitou:


    Suba:


    Rayno:




    All information gathered about these characters can be found in the wonderful ebook The Ultimate Super Friends Companion by our very own Will Rodgers https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Supe...=1&*entries*=0

    I hope you enjoy my obscure character customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

                      Wow! This one is really obscure!
                      At least to me, but I was 14 and not watching this cartoon, lol!

                      They look really good though!

                            Those are great Austin---and, please excuse my public audacity here, but, if you ever make a "Vartoo" figure, please try to clone one for me. It's my favorite original SF villain. And your awesomely crafted tribute to "History of Doom" there reminded me of that visually similar, and hugely nostalgic (to me) character.
