Alex Ross' Superman

[gdb]

Earlier this year I was commissioned to paint the head, neck area and hands on an Alex Ross Superman for a custom. The end result was so cool I had to share it. I can only take credit for the painting, but considering the articulation limitations of the body I think it came out pretty f'ing sweet!

What scale and body is this?

 

[gdb]

It is 1:6 scale. I don't know the body.

This is the Mego 12 1/2" Superman body from 1978. The first Superman figure I ever got was Mego and yes, the articulation is in a word lacking but until Hot Toys this was the best Christopher Reeve Superman on the market. It is 1/6 but very big and very heroic looking. Using this body to make an Alex Ross Superman makes a lot of sense. Your paint work is incredible and really does the character justice. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words and info!

Really good looking piece. I've always loved the look of Ross's Superman and that captures it really well. I have the DC 12" Kingdom Come and always thought it was and essential piece for the Superman canon. Congrats, man.

Thanks! Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to do an Alex Ross Superman, Batman, and Wonderwoman for awhile.

I don't know. I will ask the owner of the piece for you.

I heard back from the owner and he said the head (and costume) were done by Alex Rojas. I can PM you his email if you'd like.
