    I have never felt the confidence to try custom figures, but seeing this and some of Steve's awesome Brick outfits make me want to take up a needle and thread! Love the first Alex Toth design. It is so sickly 70's! Thanks for sharing this part of the process.

      I was thinking the same thing while looking at some of the earlier SC designs

            Ugh, I hate design by committee. Better to let the creative people have their vision, IMO.

                  Very neat. I can only imagine how much time that would have taken to produce.

                  What was the story with the "red costume variant" of the Super Collector again? I'm sure I was told at the toy show last fall, but I can't recall.
