customs are a lot like animated figures: they tend to easily multiply
.I knew I might get sucked in once I made Superlad.
Superboy
is part of my effort to finish out the "S" and "B"
teams seen in the "Public Enemies" storyline. I really
struggled trying to find the right base. I knew the Teen Titans
Superboy was very close, but part of me felt like that was cheating.
I worked through lots of alternatives, but I always came back to
the existing figure. Of course, finding another Teen Titans Superboy
is tough, seeing as his after market value has skyrocketed after
the character's demise. So a big thanks to Mike for helping me procure
one!
For
that McG style head, I cast Captain Marvel's noggin and gave it
a new hair cut and neck. Initially, I removed the arms and swapped
them with a McG Superman arms, in an effort to create those bulging
McG muscles. The result was laughable, so I quickly switched back.
Essentially,
this is nothing more than a head swap. It was just a long, drawn
out head swap.

P.S.
The skin tones appear much more disparate in the photos than they
actually are.
