Last week we got a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming NECA Man of Steel Superman 1/4 Scale figure. Well NECA was nice enough to give us a second sneak peek, this time with a full shot of the figure with the included cloth cape attached. This is still pre-paint, so obviously the finished product will look different, but I like how it’s turning out.
You can pre-order the NECA Man of Steel 1/4 scale figure on Amazon right now!

There is a behind-the-scenes look of their upcoming NECA Man of Steel Superman 1/4 scale figure. Here you get a close look at the 18″ figure, including a pre-production sample, and a pre-paint sample. I don’t collect 1/4 scale figures, but I’m so excited for Man of Steel I just might have to pick this one up. NECA says the figure is due out on store shelves in July, though many online places say June.

With that said, we do get a very brief glimpse at a new character in this featurette.

Hey everyone! I had so much fun customizing that last Man of Steel Superman figure, I thought I’d try out something different. So I took a Movie Masters Man of Steel Superman and painted him in Justice Lords colors. I even repainted his head to look more realistic and angry, and gave him an alternate “heat vision blast” head. And I made two different sets of heat vision, one long and more wild looking, the other shorter with smoke coming off of the ends, to recreate the scene from the episode of Justice League where Justice Lords Superman lobotomizes Doomsday! Click here or the photo below to check out the full photo set and a detailed description of how it was made.
This custom is also currently for auction on eBay right now. If you’re interested, feel free to bid. If you know someone who might be, pass the link along!

“His battle with General Zod took a great toll on Superman. He lost his love, Lois Lane, and saw what it would take to truly keep the world safe. After meeting several like-minded super powered beings, he formed the Justice Lords to help survey the Earth and keep it clear of any and all criminal activity. He took off Jor-El’s red and blue uniform, and instead donned one that’s black and white, to match his new view on justice. There are no gray areas with this new Justice Lord Superman.”
I really love the new suit in the upcoming Man of Steel movie, so I got it in my head that it would be cool to try out different design concepts. One of the most popular, and one that I too happen to love, is the Justice Lords costume from the episode “A Better World” from the Justice League cartoon. Since the costume is all black, I used the arms and lower body from the Movie Masters General Zod figure, and the torso, head, and cape from Superman. I repainted the torso flat black, and detailed all the piping on the suit with gloss black to help it stand out. I used thin styrene rods to form a collar around the neck, and for piping on either side of his chest shield to help it line up with the cape. Everything on the suit was painted to match the Justice Lords costume design and mesh it with the Man of Steel suit design. I even repainted his hands and head to make them look more realistic, and make his face look angrier.
I also made an alternate “heat vision blast” head. I drilled through the eyes for sockets, and painted red around them for a heat vision effect. I used Bevmo martini picks for the heat vision blasts, and made two different sets: one long, one short. I used hot glue on the longer set to make it look more like wild, uncontained heat, as if he was just setting the air on fire. The shorter set was made to look more subdued, and has smoke coming off of the ends. I really made this to recreate the scene from that episode of Justice League where Justice Lords Superman lobotomizes Doomsday, but of course it can be used for any number of displays. And then I repainted the stand the Movie Masters Superman figure comes with to match the red and white design of the Justice Lords costume. So now Justice Lords Superman is ready to keep the Earth safe, by any means necessary!

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while since I posted a new custom here. I promise I’ve been working on a lot of new stuff, I just space and forget to post anything, I get so caught up in the actual customizing. Anyway, I wanted to share my latest custom with you. I took the newly released Superman Man of Steel movie masters figure and gave him a classic style repaint, with very vibrant colors and even gave him his trunks back! I also sculpted a spit curl on him, made it so the figure could look up, and gave him a bunch of accessories like kryptonite rocks and even some heat vision blast attachments! Be sure to click here, or on one of the photos below to view the entire photo set and read the full description to see just how this custom got made.
And if you’re interested, you can bid on this custom right now on eBay. If you know someone who might be interested, pass the link along.

I’m very excited about the upcoming Man of Steel movie, and love the costume design. Stll, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would look like a little more classically inspired. So I took the newly released Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman figure and gave him a full repaint that’s inspired by his classic look. I made the reds and blues much more vibrant, and even gave him back his trunks! It has an intricate paint job with lots of washes and dry brushes of various pigments to help really bring out every detail in the suit. I made sure, for the yellow in his emblem and belt, to use two different gold hues to bring out a vibrant metallic look. I also sculpted a little spit curl coming down from his hair, to really drive home the classic Superman vibe I was going for. I also made it so Superman can actually look up now! The standard figure was a dog, in that it couldn’t look up at all, but with a little modification he can now look up to the skies, and looks good in a flying pose.
But I couldn’t just stop there! I also wanted to make some Superman related accessories. I made a few kryptonite rocks for a display, and even made him a kryptonite necklace, inspired by the one Christopher Reeve wore in the climax of Superman the Movie. I know that the kryptonite necklace is pretty specific to that film, but I dig it so much I couldn’t help but throw one in for this Man of Steel custom. I also made some heat vision blast attachments! I took some Bevmo Martini picks, and clipped off the ends and shaved down the bulbous parts, made some small starbursts out of hot glue on some clear vinyl, and stuck the ends of the picks into them until they cooled down, and painted them clear red. Since I didn’t have a second head to work from, these have to be attached with poster tack, but it works really well and looks so cool!
Now, not only does the Man of Steel have a classic looking costume, he’s fully ready to take on any villain in his way!

MTV Geek got a great scoop today, as they got to reveal the upcoming Man of Steel Movie Masters Faora action figure. Earlier I showed you the other Movie Masters figures revealed so far for Man of Steel. Well now here’s Faora. Faora (played by Antje Traue), in the movie, is Zod’s partner and maybe more. She seems to be similar to Ursa from the Superman 2 movie. She’s Kryptonian and knows how to handle herself in a fight. Just look at that armor!
