I originally picked up this figure to use as a base for He-Man custom, but when building my Power Armour Lex Luthor, I realised it would make a perfect base for Superman.
My favourite DC story is Kingdon Come, I really liked the darker suit Superman wore. I always wondered why he never wore a suit like it in the regular comics, so here is a younger Superman in the Kingdom Come Suit. I've left the laces on the boots as I feel it gives the figure more of a "real world" look, like combat boots instead of riding boots
I used the head of a Ed McGuiness Superman and painted the eyes red, I wanted him to have an angry look.
I thought this was yours!! dang thats cool.. I should have put the two together.. Superman and Lex.. great set.. I think this would have won if the contest was good vs bad. Arch nemesis contest anyone?
He's perfect except or 2 things: It would have been nice to see some sculpting over the laces on his boots, and if he's supposed to be Kingdom Come Superman, he should probably have some grey hair around his temples. Those are pretty minor nitpicks though. Overall, really awesome.
