Superb job on those Earth 2 figures, HH! I love Earth 2. Now that there's no chance Mattel is making any more DC figures, I'll finally get around to making some. :smgrin:

Funny that you should throw Dr Light up there, I will be posting my own in a few days...With the knowledge that Mattel is wrapped up, I am sincerely motivated to expand my collection through customizing.

I found another use for Eclipso, which is nice because he is plentiful. I think that grin lends itself well to villains. I dremeled off the cap and the pointy ears, then I took some of the details off his belt. I used Milliput white to sculpt the shoulders, belt, glove, boots, beard, and head gear. The cape is made from duct tape. I was not happy with any of the capes in the fodder bin as they rested on top of his shoulder thingies. Painted with acrylics. Comments always welcome. :hhgrin:

Awesome Dr. Light!!! great use of the Eclipso head too by the way... I am thinking of maybe taking my Starman figure and giving it a go at Dr. Light.

You should. Every DC collection should have him. Thanks Mattel :roll:
I really want to do a run of Silver Age JLA villains...Despero (not the Mohawk), Kanjar Ro, Amos Fortune(stealing packerbackers recipe as soon as I find a Doc Ock), Queen Bee, ...who am I missing? Suggestions?

I picked up a 10 inch Silver Surfer with the hopes of using him for Nuklon. I got him home and decided that it was not to be. He just would not have the DCUC look to fit in with the rest of my Infinity Inc. But I had a 10 inch Silver Surfer...hmm...In-Betweener! He was used as an integral part of Starlin's Adam Warlock classic storyline vs. the Magus. I had to fill in all the little screw holes with milliput, then paint him half white and half black. I used duct tape for his robe and milliput for his belt.

I really thought this one would be a lot easier. I had a black suit Superman, perfect for the red & black version of his costume. All I needed to do was dremel down the wrists and paint. When I finished taking the bracelets off, I was unhappy with the forearms. I resculpted the arms and set about the repaint. It took far too many coats of white until I was happy with the star symbol. Then I realized I was not sure how the red lines of his costume were supposed to line up. Even with ref pics. So.......... hope you like him
