So, since I am a big fan of the classic "Saga of the Super Sons" from World's Finest Comics written by Bob Haney, I decided I should do my favorite of the Super Sons, Superman, Jr.

So, to do this figure, I took a DC Universe Classics/Signature Super Powers 30th Anniversary Superman figure, and used the boil and pop method to remove his head. Next, I used my Dremel to sand down the ball joint attached to the Superman figure's neck into a cylindrical post. Once the cylindrical post was formed, I next used my Dremel to partially hollow out the head of a DC Universe Classics All-Star New 52 Superman. Next, I mixed up a small batch of Milliput and jammed it into the newly formed cavity inside the head, and, while the Milliput was still soft, I jammed the cylindrical post attached to the neck of the Superman figure into the Milliput to create a small hole in the center of the head cavity and let it dry. Next, I test fit the head onto the neck, and satisfied with how the head and neck fit together, I set them aside and started repainting the head with Testors Model Masters Skin Tone Warm Tint for the skin and Testors Model Masters Flat Black for the hair. When the paint dried, I applied two generous coats of Flat Clear to the head. When the Flat Clear had finally dried, I glued the head in place atop the neck post. With the new head now attached, I glued new symbols onto his chest and cape (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 with a slight curve to each of the sides as well as a slightly smaller size to more closely match the look of the "S" symbol of the late Silver Age/Bronze Age of Superman stories), and TA-DA...Superman, Jr., son of the Man of Steel and member of the classic version of the Super Sons!!!

Please let me know what you guys think of him, and as always, comments are appreciated.
