Well here it is..my Cyborg Superman. Let me start by saying that I have been wanting to attempt a Cyborg Superman for years, but never made a formula I was happy with. Cyborg Superman is one of my favorite Superman Rogues. I loved him in Reign of the Supermen and I've loved him ever since. Superman and Green Lantern are my two favorite superheroes and Henshaw is a villain for both. I have been waiting for a head that would work for this custom for ages. I tried Terminater heads, Dcih heads etc, but I never liked them. In the end I used the Superman DCIH head and carved up the MU Ghost rider skull. I was able to mash them together and sculpt cybornetic details and blending better then I'd hoped. I'm also very happy with the split torso mashing as well. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. I'm very happy with how the custom came out. This is a custom I've wanted for sooo long. I cut the living sh*t out of my finger with an exacto knife while carving the parts on this fig as well(probably needed stitches, but hey I had super glue handy lol) Let me know how it looks guys. I hope I finally captured the character. :-D

Best Superman and overall custom to date!! Great job here! No crits everything is perfect!! Awesome job (and best 'S' symbol so far) and this should be a Custom of the Week!

Very nice. You should send the head to Asphalt for casting.

You captured the likeness perfectly. He's straight off a cover.

Wow!

Simply fantastic work.

I don't know if the character has ever worn precisely that version of the costume (been out of reading comics a while and recall classic ripped blue or Sinestro Corps versions) but, if he hasn't, he should.

Thanks. He does actually wear this version in comics minus the tattered cape and revealed leg (which he sported in the original blue suit). So I guess its a bit of a combo of the two costumes.

Thanks soooo much for the kind words guys, I was really happy with this fig so the feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks again everyone. :-D

Looks great ! (You probably could have saved your hand a thrashing though if you went with the Cyborg head that's sold at Slayer Design.) I like your paints and the updated costume and may have to do another now for myself with that outfit.

Just now saw this when I was looking at your Steel custom. Wow - LOVE the way you put this together. Definitely going to go back and re-do mine in the same vein. I've been needing an excuse to update my Henshaw and Bizarro (both using the MM Superman body as a base), and now I've got the motivation.
