    The Last Son of Krypton!!!!

    OK, first off this is not my design. Superman has been bugging me for a long time how to do him to fit in with the rest of my line. Then came the Project Rooftop Superman redesign contest. I saw this one by Kyle Latino:



    Its really got a Doc Savage/Tom Strong/Gladiator vibe going. I really liked the aviator jacket and the scarf replacing the cape.

    And here is a link to Kyle's blog, too. http://weekincomics.blogspot.com/

    On with the custom. The jacket is made from scratch, emblem from Bobbait, head is a cast of Mego's Flash Gordon, shirt I cut from one my old tees, I did alter the boots a bit to give them the classic Supes shape.



    Jacket off:



    and for fun, The World's Finest Team

        Thats a Very interesting Design.
        The figure came out neat,.. looks just like the art work. Love the Jacket...., Looks like he stole it from Hal to me.

              Really love this one alot too! I think you should work for a co. that produces figures for toy collectors. This is a great figure and I love the designs on it too. Nice job to you and the person who designed this superman.
