![]() by GeekSummit So I couldn’t wait to get my hands in one of these guys. I’m not even a big Jim Lee Fan but I HAD to try my hand at overhauling this figure. I work in fabric capes so this was a no brained to pop a...[See More] | ![]() by GeekSummit It’s my 300th Figure!!!
I’ve been at this hobby for about 20 years. Still love it. Simple mission: I Want That!
As my 300th figure, I had to take it back to the first action figure that ever...[See More] | |
![]() by GeekSummit I’ve had this one completed for a while. Back in the beginning of the pandemic I got into kicking out cloth costumes and attempting to Mezco-ize my custom hobby. Costume, boots, belt, wired cape...[See More] | ![]() by GeekSummit An improvment of methods from all preceeding versions.

![]() by GeekSummit I’ve been waiting to see what my costumes will do on a VToys 1/12 body and I’ve got to say I’m pleased. Scratch built costume from bodysuit to wired cape. Boots are Mezco copies from...[See More] 4 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit So I picked up the Rebirth Bizarro, and I had already been tinkering with Infected Supermen, but now was the obvious task of making a classic Bizarro, simply because opportunity arose.

![]() by GeekSummit Been snowed in all week... my office is too damn cold to work in right now so I unfurled my tool set on the coffee table today to mess with this big guy.
Built on a McFarlane AllMight, the costume...[See More] 9 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit So by luck I ran across a SR 13” Superman with no costume. Just boots, fists and stand. That was perfect because I’m up to my teets in fabric and I’ve wanted to do this figure for a minute. Luckily...[See More] 3 Comments | |
![]() by GeekSummit Continuing to work in soft goods I upsized my pattern to fit larger figures. This time we went with All-Might from Hero Academia. These figures were getting clearanced in droves over the past year...[See More] | ![]() by GeekSummit I’ve been wanting to do this one for a minute. Different challenges called for different approaches. This version of Superman calls for these Roman boot laces/braces instead of the pleather wrapped...[See More] 2 Comments | |
![]() by GeekSummit Really, my version numbers are starting to get a little muddled. I've made no less than 15 of these in series and as I continue to improve things on newer ones I go back over older ones to correct...[See More] 1 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit Same Recipe as my previous standard Supes with an altered headsculpt. I kinda pushed the features around a bit as the resin cured. Added a little extra volume to the spit curl. Suit has darkened...[See More] 1 Comments | |

![]() by GeekSummit This time we moved to the DC Multiverse Shazam body and WOW... Was this figure made for this little project or what? The tall slender/muscular build fills this suit PERFECTLY!!!! Added articulation a...[See More] 2 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit Continued Improvements to this endeavor.

![]() by GeekSummit Wanting to continue with the One:12 direction, I've taken the same formula of fabrication and gone in the direction of my favorite era of Comic Book Superman. Curt Swan was the artist of MY Superman...[See More] 2 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit Still at it. This is the same suit pattern as the versions .5 and 1.0. This time we got to complete it with a cast belt and hydroshrink HT Reeve head. This figure used Shazam fists which pop right...[See More] | |
![]() by GeekSummit Still at it trying to get things how I want them. Definitely a pleasing result. Scratch made costume right down to the “S” emblems on chest and cape. Head is a stand in for what will be a...[See More] 1 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit Continuing with my cloth costumes I wanted to work on a larger figure to get a more bulky look. I'm quickly realizing that scale can be deceiving with cloth. the materials really add a scale inch...[See More] 1 Comments | |
![]() by GeekSummit In continuation of my cloth costume experiment I have taken the next step forward. These costumes are built ONTO the figure so its not a removable costume once its said and done.

![]() by GeekSummit I scraped off the KC emblem with an exacto and dropped a Fleischer style S on and went to work shortening the cape. Initially I was going to do a “U” shaped cape but figured I’d work with the folds...[See More] 3 Comments | ![]() by GeekSummit Basically popped off the black belt and replaced with a DCU dupes belt flipped upside down to elongate the lower torso. There’s barely anything there. Great figure though. Definitely doing a...[See More] 5 Comments | |
