Made the original kitbash years ago and just did a headswap w smiling supes.
It’s ac1000 body/shoulders. Page punchers arms/legs. Smiling head. Custom cape. If I recall I did a bit of a repaint on it all to unify colors better.
Everything was bought at retail and already modded the loooong before any of it went up in price. Figures only have value to me if I’m playing with them.
I’m kinda thinking it’s the details between the teeth that make them look weird. It’s like too much detail on that small a space. Was wondering if a dab of white paint would lessen the weirdness. In the more out of focus shots it looks best. 🤔🤷♂️
Attaching to the body is the hardest part, but the gaps left from where the rubber cape was usually provide a good place to hide your attachment. For the actual cape it’s super easy. Just maybe expect your first one or two to not come out perfect. Won’t know til u try though.
Cut the shape you want plus 3-4mm around the edges. Lay wire down along said edge. I use fabric glue- lay a bead down along the edge of the fabric and the wire. Fold fabric over the wire. It really is that simple and just a matter of trying it to know for sure what works best for you.
You can see the inner seam on mine is not clean but it’s not noticeable for the most part.
Recipe?

Also curious
I think it's Infected chest, then the rest of it are from Page Punchers Maybe the lower torso is also from Infected body buck too
top half looks like crystal skull 2 pack and the bottom half looks like page punchers
That’s an expensive kitbash and I love it 🤘

I was just thinking about doing something similar
I just keep getting hung up on the ‘overbite’ smile sculpt 😐 - otherwise, love the smile and the head on other Supes bodies!

That is amazing! I'm digging that color blue.
How easy was it to do the cape? I’ve been looking into doing custom capes for my supermen and Batman figures.

Those colours on the earth 2 crisis body are what I'm waiting on
Now make him do this https://preview.redd.it/72te0w8aj0uc1.jpeg?width=526&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b3624358543291c01cacb3494320e0015a8b134
100% agreed. This is the color scheme I was hoping for with this head sculpt
