The character I chose- Ultra the Multi-Alien- replaced Adam Strange in the "Mystery in Space" DC Comic back in 1951 and has recently made an appearance in the "animated-inspired" comic "Adventures in the DC Universe" #5.

Recipe: Base figure is a Marvel TNA Wrestling Figure:Alex Shelley.  All modifications were sculpted with Porcelain Clay, right leg is coated with clear plastic yellow beads.

Here is my submission for the DC Universe Challenge. It is a McGuinness style Brave New Metropolis Superman. It started as a Captain Atom. The "Superman" hair curl, belt buckle, gloves and boots are sculpted with apoxie sculpt. The chest emblem and belt are cut vinyl. He is painted with a combination of craft store acrylics and Citadel Colour paints. He is sealed with both Dullcote and Delta Ceramcoat gloss varnish.

This time up is a single entry, Doomsday, in a 6" scale. Now this looks like the villian who could take down Superman! He was made as a commission for my son, and is my first DC custom.

Recipe: He was made from a House of M Hulk, with feet from a Maestro Hulk, with just the tip of the back,knee and elbow spikes contributed from the DC Doomsday. He retains 36 points of articulation. The key ingredient was the acrylic rocks I found in Michael's craft store. These were cut to various sizes using wire snippers and glued on. The paints were various shades of Testors flat acryl paints. Milliput, craft lace, and some misc. fodder round out the details.  


Customs by Colin Mathura-Jeffree

6 inch size 1970s DC

Character CELSIUS
Made from an Electra Woman.

I wanted to keep her exootic BUT fair Indian skin tone as she was seen in the 1970s before DC rebooted Doom Patrol and thought that Indians from India were all very dark skinned. I thought the original Celsius seen in Showcase 94/95/96 was very modern and also beautiful like a Bollywood actree Aishwarya Rai. I used industrial material tape painted for her skirt- as it allows full movement. She is beautiful. I have a whole series of Celsius figures. Im currently making the 1980s look....BUT I love her 1970s look best.

Character: NEGATIVE WOMAN

Made from Voodoo figure.
Had a really great fluid look- like the Negative energy being. Her eyes sparkle silver. She goes perfectly with CELSIUS.

 

ANIMATED DC super powers/4.5 inch


Faora Hu Ul

customised out of an SP Super Powers Wonder Woman dremelled whole body. clay added to arms to give puffy sleeves.

Kingdom Come Ambassador Donna Troy

customised out of a Lois lane animated figure. Comes with a pillar she can lift...and she stands holding it. She is cuddly-...This was an awesome series.

Celsius

made out of a Super Powers Wonder Woman. stands on Ice slide...always more fun to have additions.
Has super action. Skin tone blended to match Indian skin...and has blue eyes. Rare but not so uncommon with people from India
