Meanwhile at the Halls of Justice ... (R.I.P. Ted Knight)

A few DC heroes : alternate costumes, repaints and a few alternate "unmasked" heads

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man of Steel... Man of Plastic

For some quick eBay $$$, took some unused figures and added some star wars heads. These Man Of Steel action figures became Jor-El and some of Zod's followers...

 

 

 

 ... along with a "hippie" version of Zod himself.

 

Kneel before Chancellor Valorum...

Took some spare parts from the junk drawer, and made the villains from Superman II, (Zod, Ursa, Non) was supposed to be a surprise silly gift for a friend, but after 5 years of not completing it, it just went off to the used toy store for credit...sigh

 

 

Used a Chancellor Valorum figure from SW:TPM for Zod's head...same actor, Ursa is a Leia head, and Non is Thrawn (the 1st Expanded Universe Series), with sculpted beard

 

There's bits of Luke's, senate guards,Dr. Evazan,Oola and Mara Jade parts for their bodies.

Boldly Going...Head Swapping

Fortunately (or unfortunately for my wallet) two good friends of mine bought me the Repro/Retro Mego Star Trek Bridge. After buying the crew characters , I began to get the alien characters ...then the customizing began... real easy head swaps. Buying dolls from the other mego lines (Shazam, Superman, The humans from Planet of the Apes... even John-boy from the Waltons) and extra Spocks and Scotty dolls paved the way for creating additional crew members.

Red Son...Spoiled Nephew

I got my nephew hooked on the Justice League Unlimited figures (he owns well over 150 of them...best uncle EVER). I grabbed a second "grey" Superman (again from Quake) and with some red paint , packing tape and a faily steady hand, turned the "S" on his chest into the hammer and sickle similar to how the costume looked in Mark Millar's Superman Red Son...I don't think my 7 year old nephew can really appreciate it...yet.
