Can't wait to see what you come up with

Hey everyone, I'm working hard to finish up this big Super Powers project, but wanted to throw up another teaser to keep some interest up.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think.

Nice! I could see Kenner coming out with this back in the day

Yep, I did the back art too. I'll put a picture up later tonight. The bubble is a action figure clamshel storage case. I just cut off the back half. Not an exact match but close enough for me. I'm working on putting up pictures of the whole wave. Stay tuned.

I LOVE THESE...I am a huge SP fan/collector, and am super-impressed with your cardbacks! Can't wait to see more!

Funny: I, too, have that Silverhawks plane for a SP custom vehicle, however I"m doing mine for Golden Pharoah

Great work! You duplicated the aesthetic perfectly.

Part 2 of my Super Powers Wave 4 project

Hawkwoman



Another member of the Satellite era Justice League that was included in the 1982 DC Style Guide. She was not included as part of the proposal but it makes sense for her to be in the line as she rounds out the nearly complete Satellite Justice League. And since there is a severe lack of female characters in the line. Made from a Toy Biz Invisible Girl with a JLU Hawkgirl head, and Hawkman wings. This figure was a big pain and required resculpting, resanding, and repainting multiple times. But I like how she turned out and she looks great next to Hawkman, though she is hard to pose due to the wings.



Reverse Flash



He was also included in the 4th wave proposal, most likely because he was a simple repaint. Which is exactly what I did, with a little twist. I usually try as much as possible to change hands and heads when possible and feasible as I feel like those are the easiest ways to determine the source figure. While I didn’t change the hands here, and I knew resculpting the mask details would end up looking sloppy, I did want to change the head somewhat to tell them apart, especially since he and Flash they aren’t twins, although they do have a similar body type. So I cut out Flash’s jaw from the nose down and replaced it with the lower jaw from a Dark Knight (Keaton)Batman figure. I think it makes a big difference and makes him look angry without going overboard.





This is a picture comparing the new figure to my very first custom way back in the early 90’s. I’d like the think I’ve come a long way.

Wonder Girl



Another female character that makes complete sense given my reasoning for Kid Flash. Shes made from a Wonder Woman with feet from a Toy Biz Storm figure. I resculpted the hair to fit Donna and to differentiate from Wonder Woman. The lasso is from gold beading string as buying an original lasso was super expensive.



Black Lightning



One of the “ethnic” heroes created for the Super Friends cartoon (along with Samurai, Apache Chief, and El Dorado), he was included in the 4th wave proposal. I created this for last years Hanna Barbara Cartoon contest on the old boards when I realized he fit right in with this project. He’s made from Superman torso and legs, Dr. Fate arms (with the appropriate “lighting casting” hand) and the head from a Congo Monroe figure.



Obsidian



Another entry from Kenner’s 4th wave proposal, although I’m not all that sure why. He’s a hero that looks like a villain, and I don’t believe Infinity, Inc., the series he was featured in, was ever hugely popular, though I could be wrong. Anyway, he’s got a cool costume and I dig the end result. He’s made from a Red Tornado with Aquaman legs and quite a bit of detail sculpting. The cape was hand sewn with a clasp made with a 3D printing pen.
