Okay, here goes. I wanted a custom figure of actor John Rockwell as he appeared in the title roll of Superboy in the 1960 TV Series Pilot for the "Adventures of Superboy". So, using an extra COIE Series 3 Earth-Prime Superboy, I set about creating one. The figure is a pretty straight-forward custom. I slapped on new chest and cape symbols with a little glue (both symbols were made by hand at a larger size, and then photocopied and shrunk to proper size...however, unlike previous hand drawn symbols I had done before, these are drawn to more closely approximate the symbol worn on John Rockwell's costume in the pilot...also, it should be noted that the cape symbol worn by John Rockwell was red and yellow, unlike the more traditional all yellow symbol of the comics), and TA-DA...Superboy as he appeared in the 1960 TV Series Pilot for the "Adventures of Superboy"!!!! Please let me know what you guys think of him, and as always, comments are appreciated.  Please wait... |
