Once I’d made my STAS Superman figure, all my other Superman customs looked puny. So I applied the same recipe to update some. In this case, it’s Supes as he appeared in “Brave New Metropolis.”
The torso is a Hasbro Supes, with repositioned left arm and all those muscles smoothed over with Kneadatite. The legs are from racer X of the Speed Racer line. Some minor detailing was removed. The belt buckle was sculpted, and the boot tops cut from vinyl.
The head on this Supes was a new one for me. I cast a head off the Kraft Superman figure. This required demolishing the neck of the cast and rebuilding it, but the slightly more animated, tough look adds some variety in Supes’ life.
