Ultraman (Movie Concept) 6″ DC Universe Custom Action Figure – Created September 16th, 2014

<< Back to Custom Figure Archive


*** Head on over to my Ebay Auctions to see what’s available this week, or commission me if you’d like your very own custom action figure like this one. ***

Don’t forget to check out the video I made for this movie concept Ultraman custom action figure near the bottom of the page to see some exclusive WIP (work in progress) photos!

I love doing movie concepts, and this is no exception. This is a movie concept custom action figure for Ultraman of the Crime Syndicate of America if he were to appear in the current DC Cinematic Universe. The body is a Movie Masters Man of Steel Superman, with the head of a DC Universe Classics New 52 Aquaman. I felt the hair and facial expression on the Aquaman figure were perfect for Ultraman. All I had to do was paint his hair and eyebrows, and paint the neck of the body to match the skintone. I smoothed out the detail in the shield emblem, and crafted the big “U” out of polystyrene and glued it in place. I repainted the entire body, giving it a dark wash and then dry brushing some lighter blue to really bring out the sculpt. After painting the belt details red and repainting a Man of Steel figure stand to match the new shield emblem (which can be viewed in the video below), Ultraman is ready to form the Crime Syndicate of America!

News – Hot Toys Man of Steel General Zod and 1/12 Scale The Bat Revealed

This past weekend at the 2013 Ani-Com & Game Hong Kong convention, Hot Toys unveiled some awesome figures. Among them are a 1/6 scale Man of Steel General Zod figure, and a 1/12 scale Dark Knight Rises The Bat vehicle. The Bat was going to be made on a 1/6 scale, but just proved to be far too large and expensive to be feasible, so it was shrunken down. It will include a 1/12 scale (6″) Dark Knight Rises Batman figure to accompany it, and it will include the bomb that Batman carries off with The Bat at the end of the film.

News – Man of Steel Movie Masters Black Suit Superman Figure Revealed

It’s been rumored for a while now, ever since a mysterious listing showed up on Amazon describing a Man of Steel Movie Masters Superman figure in a black suit. Recently though, Mattel has denied there was an eighth Man of Steel Movie Masters figure in the last Ask Mattel Q&A session, making this reveal all the more bizarre. But yes, it seems official that there will be a Superman figure released in his black suit. The listing showed up on the Mattel Shop website as a pre order due out in July.

News – Injustice Gods Among Us Zod Fight Trailer & Man of Steel Superman Skin

Some great new things for Injustice Gods Among Us were revealed today. We get a full fight trailer for the upcoming DLC character General Zod.

In addition to the Zod trailer reveal, it’s been announced that the same day Zod goes on sale we will also be getting a Man of Steel Superman skin!

News – NECA Man of Steel 1/4 Scale Figure Sneak Peek #3

This marks the third sneak peek we’ve gotten for the upcoming NECA Man of Steel 1/4 scale figure. This time, we get a look at the figure fully painted.

News – 2013 SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Superman Vs. Zod 2 Pack Fully Revealed

Before, Mattel only gave us a peek at the outside box packaging of this 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive set, but thanks to an article posted on USAToday earlier today, we now have a full look at what’s being included in the set! The reason Mattel waited until now to fully reveal the set is because they wanted to wait until after the movie was released. I’m not totally sure why, since it’s not really a spoiler or anything, but I suppose you can never be too careful.
