So, since I am a big fan of the classic "Saga of the Super Sons" from World's Finest Comics written by Bob Haney, I decided that since I had already done my favorite of the Super Sons, Superman, Jr., I should round out the Superman Family of those stories and make Superman himself as he appeared in those stories.

So, to do this figure, I took a DC Universe Classics/Signature Super Powers 30th Anniversary Superman figure, and used the boil and pop method to remove his head. Next, I used my Dremel to sand down the ball joint attached to the Superman figure's neck into a cylindrical post. Once the cylindrical post was formed, I next used my Dremel to partially hollow out the head of a DC Direct Silver Age Superman Series 1 Superman Robot figure. Next, I mixed up a small batch of Milliput and jammed it into the newly formed cavity inside the head, and, while the Milliput was still soft, I jammed the cylindrical post attached to the neck of the Superman figure into it to create a small hole in the center of the head cavity. Once the Milliput had dried, I test fit the head onto the neck, and satisfied with how the head and neck fit together, I glued the head in place atop the neck post. With the new head now attached, I applied two coats of Testors Model Masters Dark Ghost Gray at the temples just above the ears to give the figure a little bit of a distinguished, older look. Once the Dark Ghost Gray had dried, I applied two generous coats of Flat Clear over the hair. With the paint and the Flat Clear on the head now fully dry, I glued new symbols onto his chest and cape (both symbols were made by hand at a larger size, and then photocopied and shrunk to proper size...however, unlike previous hand drawn symbols I had done before, these are drawn with a slight curve to each of the sides as well as a slightly smaller size to more closely match the look of the "S" symbol of the late Silver Age/Bronze Age of Superman stories), and TA-DA...Superman as he appeared in the classic "Saga of the Super Sons" stories of the 1970s!!!

Please let me know what you guys think of him, and as always, comments are appreciated.
