An Oldie: Doomsday

[scott metzger]

An oldie who needed some repairs before putting him out. I realized I had the Reign of the Superman out on display, but not the main catalyst for the entire story. He was made from a classic Hulk body, but I extended his upper and lower legs and his forearms to make full size. I think that’s a Hulk head under there, but it’s been to long to be sure (he was made shortly after the actual story was originally published). I had to fix his knee and arm spikes and his left foot; I had used Friendly Plastic back in the day (the way I use Apoxy Sculpt today), and I have found in later years that it dries out and becomes brittle (a stern glance could cause something to break off). So he is gingerly put back together with breath held and hope of no further disintegration springing eternal.

That looks great.like the fact that he is still wearing his prison sui.

There have been a lot of versions of him since I made this, most fully revealed, one Mattel figure in the full suit, but I've never seen one where he's in the process of breaking out of it. I always though that was his most interesting look.
