Love the character. Really nice to see him in figure form. Dig the cop too- just gotta give him a t-shirt.

Nice work!

I like the cop a lot.

Nice work, very solid and really cool looking

I like both of these. Sports Master is a great character in the cartoon. Your figure does him a lot of, wait for it...justice.

The cop is good. I love simple civilian customs like this.

So I was pretty happy with my Lex Luthor in his warsuit, but I see Lex very much like Tony Stark -- always tinkering with his toys. So I spent some time this weekend working up a "Mark II" version of the LexCorp Battlesuit:

This is Lex's personal ride, patterned on the power suit's appearance in various media and the larger-scale DC Universe version. Powered by a Kryptonite core, it's built-in force field absorbs 5x more damage and it increases the wearer's strength by 2x over the original model, giving Lex more than enough power to heft and wield the complimentary Kryptonite-bladed battle axe in close quarters with the Man of Steel:

And the old model suit is still in use by Lex's elite bodyguards:

I also went ahead and made a partner for the rookie cop I showed off last week. Taking Will's advice, I left the open shirt for the older veteran:

And I went ahead and painted a t-shirt on the younger guy:

What do you guys think?

I may have to copy that Battlesuit look. Really dig it.
And the open shirt works for the one cop. Still like the T-shirt look better though.

For the Mk2 Lex suit did you just paint the boots and gloves and add the skirt?

Also, the veteran cop looks kinda like Axe-Cop. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Love the update to Luthor and your cops look great,The older cop reminds me of Axe-Cop from Dark Horse comics.

Awesome job! And that totally looks like a younger and older cop pair you would see walking around by us lol! Good Axe Cop also lol!

Ha! Wasn't familiar with Axe Cop at all, but now I'm tempted to repurpose the older cop.

Meanwhile, here's one I've been thinking about for a little while:

Metallo got on my radar with his DCAU appearances. He was so well voice acted that a generic Kryptonite powered cyborg somehow became interesting to me. And when I saw the new TMNT Krang, I knew I had to give him a shot:

As you can see, he's a little larger than my DC Supes. I figure he rearranges his frame once whatever exo-skin he's been wearing is rendered worthless by battle damage:

What do you guys think?

Re: Metallo - I'd make the Kryptonite smaller. A chunk of Kryptonite that big would kill Supes pretty easily I think and there haven't been many fragments of it in the comics much larger than a shard. I'd maybe put a shard inside one of the Mass Device element containers in his torso then build a small frame around it to protect it. Also paint the eyes green.

But I like the base figure. It fits well as an endo-skeleton that I've seen Metallo have in the cartoon and comics.

Really like this idea. Thanks.

I went back at Metallo specifically to address the size of the Kryptonite chunk that Mysty mentioned, but while I was working on him I ended up doing a lot more:

First I focused on the power source. I cut the chunk of Kryptonite I was using into a few pieces and found a bit of techno kibble that I was able to modify into a Kryptonite cell battery. You can see it closer here:

Then I went back at the legs. In my first iteration, I sacrificed human proportions for extra height, but I wasn't really happy with how those legs looked. Fortunately I had an extra set that I was able to lengthen while adding swivel ankle articulation. Now he's just a skooch taller than Supes, which still works for me:

Next thing I modded was his arms. I swapped the very spindly originals for some B.A.T. lowers, which gave him a stronger looking upper body and the ability to utilize modular weaponry:

The arms are now removable, so I can simulate battle damage, and so is the Kryptonite battery (for the inevitable moment when Batman figures out how to save Supes' bacon):

So what do you think? Improvements?

That's great!
