Like many others, I love the Flash TV show. I wanted a 6″ scale version of him, and luckily Mattel delivered. Not so luckily, it was seriously lacking, so I decided to fix it. Here I’ve taken the DC Comics Multiverse 6″ Flash TV Series action figure, and gave him extra articulation and a new paint job! I carefully cut him apart mid torso and used a double ball joint from a NECA figure to place inside so he can rock back and forth, and side to side. I also cut away some plastic around the ankles and his ankles can actually rock so he can better be placed in wide stances and running poses. I fully repainted him, making the reds more vibrant and the emblem white to match The Flash’s look in season 2 of the TV series. I finished it off with a display stand for running poses, and a couple of DCUC clear lightning energy attachments that I painted clear yellow. Now that Flash has a full range of motion, he’s ready to catch the criminals of Central City!
The Flash TV series is an underrated gem. Yes, it’s corny in a very early 90’s way, but the writing is solid and the acting is pretty good. The pilot might as well be a made for TV movie about the Flash. So. I wanted to capture the essence of the Flash from the show in action figure form. Hopefully I’ve done John Wesley Shipp’s version of the Flash justice. Make sure to click the picture below to check out the full photo set and a detailed description of how I made this custom of the Flash from the TV series. Thanks for looking!

The pilot might as well be a made for TV movie about the Flash. So. I wanted to capture the essence of the Flash from the show in action figure form. I felt the Marvel Legends Bucky Cap figure was the best fit, since it was detailed with lots of muscules that looked very similar to the suit John Wesley Shipp wore on the show. I had to really sand down those giant pirate boots to look right. Then, I used a combination of styrene and Aves Apoxie Sculpt to give him the suit detailing, such as the emblem on his chest, and the detailing around his forearms and waist. I sculpted a bit on the head as well to look more like the Flash’s cowl in the series, and used the ear pieces from a DCUC Flash figure as well. The paint job involved base coating in black and dry brushing three different shades of red to make it look as realistic as possible and bring out the sculpt. And after that, the Scarlett Speedster is ready to protect the people of Central City!
