1/6 Custom Smallville CK

[JMW326]

I have been collecting and customizing figures for a long time but have just recently "really" gotten in to 1/6 scale figures and decided to give customizing a try in that scale. So here he is Clark Kent from Smallville.

This is great man. I just picked up this head and plan to do a custom myself.

Thanks guys,

Here is the final version that I have decided to go with.

 

[jedijim3002]

That looks tight. I am anxious to get mine done.

Is that the Hot Toys outfit underneath?

 

[JMW326]

HAHA. No I wouldn't do that to the HT version. It is the Mattel movie masters version underneath.

How did you modify the neckline of the suit?

Here is my Smallville Superman.

Nice is that the second version of the hot toys suit? I ask cause I seem to recall one where the cape is like pleather on the outside

 

[jedijim3002]

Yes. It's the second HT Superman returns 2 in 1 with the Clark Kent suit and head. The cape is cloth but the Medicom version has the pleather cape.

 

[Kal El Klarc]

ah thought so, how is the skintone match with the head and the body/hands?

 

[jedijim3002]

Well the good news is that you don't see any of the body. The suit comes up to the neck connector. The hands are a different story. They are a bit more yellow as a-posed to the more tan flesh of the headplay head. But a lot of newer hands have the same skin tone so it's easy to get replacements and keep the same hands.

Here are a few of my modded Superman returns figure on the new CR Superman body. I think it turned out pretty good. He is now 12 and 5/8 instead of 12 inches even. That puts him just shy of 6'4" tall in 1/6 scale.

 

[jedijim3002]

Much better than this.

I custom made some longer foot pegs to raise his height. Looks ok but I wanted more muscle tone. The CR noddy is great for that. I think the neck is a bit long but I can modify that. This one just seems too skinny.

That does look good, I am thinking of using the mattel suit which means either modifying the neckline of the suit or modfying the head to go on a body that has a sculpted neck....ho hum more work lol

 

[jedijim3002]

Cant wait to see the pics.

My wife and I also have a Welling version in the works.She picked up the Head-play sculpt and a HT muscular body, which I was then expected to"make it work".Fortunately, I've done this sort of thing before...

I'm getting scary good at this trick.Trim the neck down to fit and do a squish with Magic-Sculpt and it's all good(once the putty cures, anyway)...

The socket;not too difficult, but you do need to spray the ball with mold release to make it work...

Without the flash the color shift is barely noticeable.Now all we need are clothes. Anybody know where I can get a red jacket?...PS

Wow. That looks great bro. The thicker neck makes the head look more accurate. Stronger. I was thinking of trying this but wasn't sure how it would turn out. I might have to try this.
