“Probably the best superhero comic in the universe.” That may just be true! Last year I started reading the collected editions of Robert Kirkman’s Invincible, and it is good stuff! Kirkman obviously loves the genre, and his affection shows in every issue. If you haven’t read Invincible, I strongly recommend it!
Being a new fan of the character, I wanted to add Invincible to the ranks of my JLU. Adapting his look to the Timm style was relatively easy and fun. I chose the “slim” Mattel body type (Elongated Man, in this case). Starman’s head was near perfect, only needing bigger goggles added. The knee pads were added, and the figure was ready for paint.
He and my Atom Eve figure look great together amongst the big DC heroes.
Created Spring 2006
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
