All of the DC Direct Series O figures were made by
Steve Orlando.

Iron here is simply a repaint of a Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt. I used
extensive drybrushing to get the "ripped" effect of this 1940's super-man.
Batman Beyond was made from a XMen Evolution Cyclops figure. The adventure
was removing the head. I found as I cut it off that it had metal inside,
as sparks flew from the figure, good times... Anyway I sanded all the detail
off the figure and primed him. His arm blades are cut bubble plastic. His
belt is made from a cut up TNBA accessory and a metal washer. His head
is a Metal Gear Solid Vulcan Raven, which was used because I love BB's
mask's ability to show so much emotion. The ears where cut form hard plastic.
I used hot glue to make them even with the head. I am really pleased with
this guy.
Catwoman is a repaint of my Void figure, Catwoman was made from a sanded
Danger Girl Sydney Savage with a heavily sanded Danger girl Natalia Kassle
head. I painted her appropriately after adding Ears made form a TNBA cape,
and a belt made out of an old necklace. Pretty nice for a figure that was
made from a custom I almost threw out I hated it so much.
Clayface 4 was made from a WWF Titantron Live Tori figure. As with my other
Clayface, I covered her in hot glue to give the clay affect. I then painted
her flat black, and drybrushed on brown, flesh, tan, and beige in that
order. I then went over that in a Flesh/Orange colored wash. I then went
over certain areas with a black wash. That's all folks.
Sterling is a repaint of a Buffy Angel figure. I cut off his hands and
gave his those of Austin Powers (gotta love those puffy wrist thingees).
His neck tie thing is from a DC 7in Joker. I did this figure just because
I have never covered a figure in so much silver paint before, and well
I thought it would be fun.
JJ was made from an Austin Powers Scott Evil. I kept the hair as I thought
it to be more trendy and if JJ is anything he is trendy. I also went with
the 15 year old JJ instead of the young kid pictured in recent issues of
JSA. His pen is made from a cut PickUp Stick, and the metal clip on his
pen is a cut paper clip. Other than that he is a repaint.
T-Bolt is a DC 7in superman blue. I filled in the etched lines with quick
tite and painted him flat bla...pink (sorry, I was think of the wrong figure)
I then drybrushed on lighter and lighter shades of the pink color to finish
him. Oh yeah, his forehead bolts are made from cut bubble plastic. Thank
God they made him pink again, a purple thunderbolt is just wrong.
