This Superman: The Animated Series line is by Tim Priebe.
Jor-El was made, of course, from a Fortress of Solitude
Superman. I sanded all the little knobs off the squares on the arms and legs.
I cut off Superman's S-curl and added a thin piece of wire for the headband.
I also dremelled the chin down a bit and added a cleft to the chin. The
cape-thingy was extensively modified. I got rid of the Superman symbol on
there, and lowered the neckline so it would be more accurate. The circles
that were added are from neck-pegs from a couple of other figures. The thing
running in between them is a rubber band.
Baby Kal-El was made from scratch. He's articulated at the neck and shoulders.
Dan Turpin was made from a BTAS Two-Face. The head was
originally a BTAS Bane. The only part you can still see of Bane's head is
the neck and the chin. I also added Sculpey to the sides to make Dan a
little stockier.
The Parademon was made from a Shan-Yu figure. (He's the main
villain from Mulan.) The figure was actually a McDonald's premium. He
required a ton of dremelling and reconstruction.
Abin Sur was made from a TNBA Nightwing. The nose was made
with Super Sculpey. The logo was decoupaged on.
Dark Knight Superman is a TNBA Batman with a STAS Superman head and a cloth Batman cape.
Dr. Fate is a TNBA Batman with a Super Powers Dr. Fate head.
The belt and glove modifications were sculpted on with Super Sculpey. The
cape is a TNBA Batman cape with the little triangles cut off the bottom and
the cape's collar is made from a piece of plastic off a bubble from some
figure's packaging.
Colonel Sam Lane was a TNBA Bruce Wayne figure. I took the
suit part off Bruce's overcoat and glued it to the front of Lane. I then
blended that in with the rest of the body with Sculpey. I also added the
mustache with Sculpey. The "braids" on the shoulders are rubber bands.
Lobo's head was a TNBA Bruce Wayne. I cut the nose shorter
and added a bigger chin with Sculpey. The hair, of course, was Sculpey. The
torso and arms are from a Batman Beyond Happy figure, of course, with a
minimal of modifications. Between the feet and the waist is a BTAS Bane. The
feet are from a Batman Beyond Happy figure as well. This figure required
quite a bit of sculpting.
The Kryptonian Ship is made from a Titan AE Turbo Surge
Phoenix. The swing-back wings were removed. The holes from those were
covered up with craft foam. The stripes were also craft foam, as is the
little Z wings on each side. The red dots were printed out as computer
decals. I also customized the interior, but it doesn't look exactly like it
did on the show. I spray-painted the ship white to start out with, then
painted the other details on with normal acrylics.
