ACTION FIGURE CUSTOM: Mega-Fig Doomsday

We've got the big boy this week.
DOOMSDAY!
This is the newest version from McFarlane, the mega-figure two-pack with Superman, and the sculpt is pretty awesome.
Even so, it needs a bit of work. That means we're cutting, sculpting, painting, the works!
I'm excited to make this guy a little work of art, so let's get going!

Everyone says doomsday is a dc version of hulk but he’s MUCH more than that.. top 3 dc villains for sure

[@superheumann]

I agree 100%! When done right, Doomsday is one of those characters that should send chills down your spine.

[@jmrjhulk]

Yup much weaker thank hulk as what dc have stated.. "green behemoth stronger than even doomsday died protecting superman" -doomsday clock Anyway thank you for this video @superheumann

[@raph3767]

Great job man! Looks fantastic!!

[@superheumann]

Thanks!

[@mortcraft23]

Awesome results man, looks badass!

[@superheumann]

Thanks! I appreciate it.

[@Westyboycollector]

Amazing what a set you’ve got now. Legend mate now all I need is for him to get released in the UK

[@superheumann]

Hopefully you'll have him soon!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Almost irresistible version. But the Mattel DC multiverse has got most of what I wanted to see 😺🙈

[@superheumann]

There are some great Doomsday versions out there, for sure.

[@michaelb2226]

I would have painted the cloth pieces on his arms as close as possible to his green pants. Like remnants of the containment suit.

[@superheumann]

That's what I did on the Devastator version, but I worried it would look weird since there weren't any tatters elsewhere. Maybe I could have added some with Milliput. That would have looked cool.

[@JohnAnderson-sr7nf]

Had that in the comic fighting super man

[@THECREATOROFBRICKS2000]

The final result reminds me a lot of Injustice 1 doomsday. The way the colors are done, you did a great job on. Love this custom, bought him for my birthday.

[@superheumann]

He's such a great figure. If you end up customizing him at all, be sure to let us know. I'd love to see what you do.

[@davidbruce867]

WOW, came out awesome.

[@superheumann]

Thanks!

[@danielg.1365]

This looks amazing 🤩 I want it so bad!!!!!

[@superheumann]

He's definitely worth getting if you can find him.

[@gavinsmiyh6218]

Well done sir, very cool and omg 6 kids mad respect!

[@superheumann]

Life can get pretty crazy around here, that's for sure!

[@Kumo0toko]

I just bought that doomsday, I’m definitely doing this 😊

[@superheumann]

You'll love it!

[@jamesgreen9228]

Great job i am going to get started on my doomsday right away thanks for showing your processes

[@superheumann]

Anytime! Collecting is far more fun when you're customizing.

[@AngelosCollectibles]

Very well done my brother Steven Doomsday looks damn incredible now 💀🔥💪

[@articulatedhero8611]

Damnnnn Steve you are stepping your game up brother I’m all in for you!!! Good job

[@superheumann]

Thanks! The longer I do it, the more ideas I have on how to improve.

[@kdakda426]

Please do more videos like this. You definitely earned my subscription and I will be consistently following your new uploads. However, do take your time and prioritize life first:) Thank you and have a good day

[@superheumann]

Thanks! That's always the balance we're trying to hit.

[@bctan2291]

nice.. i think i'll do the same on mine.. just paint, without the additional spikes 😅

[@superheumann]

Don't be afraid to take some risks. You can pull it off!

[@krymson_reigns]

Great video… I’m actually doing this same thing changing devastator doomsday into this doomsday. I find doing these customization to be very relaxing as well. It helps between work and family to have a little time for myself.

[@TrueDragonnutz13]

This is unbelievably good. Easily one of the best custom Mcfarlane figures I've ever seen and what they should've released.

[@superheumann]

Thanks so much! I wish they'd gone this route too, but then I wouldn't have been able to customize it, and that's half the fun of collecting for me now.

[@MatthewVasquez-mt2se]

It looks amazing Are you going to customize battle damaged superman

[@superheumann]

I'm actually using the Superman he came with as a base for Justice Lord Superman, but I have some ideas for a battle damaged Superman I might do in the not too distant future.

[@jeremynelson7920]

I have my Doomsday taken apart for some paint. Would like to follow what you did with the dark wash and the white on the spikes. One thing I did with mine. I saw someone on Instagram separate the ab piece from the chest (it's easy just a straight peg so it just slides out if you pull) and fill up the peg hole a little.. I rolled small balls of paper and packed them down. What that does is raises the chest up off the abs so he doesn't look so squat in that area and makes the abs visible. It also makes him slightly taller.

[@superheumann]

That's a great idea! I never would have thought of that. A little more space between the chest and abs would make him stand out even more. I'd love to see yours.

[@jeremynelson7920]

@@superheumann I sent you the link to the post about the Doomsday height adjustment to your Instagram messages.

[@blueblitz338]

Looks incredible

[@superheumann]

Thanks! It was a fun one.

[@MTB214]

There is a huge difference between doomsday and devistator! It looks great!! Will you repaint the original one you did to look like the new one?

[@superheumann]

No, I'm actually letting my son put the old one in his collection next to one of his Supermen. It's a good reminder of how much more experience I have now.

[@motocyclassic]

OMG! That’s amazing custom work ❤️

[@superheumann]

Thanks!

[@suhtangwong]

This is sick! Despite mcfarlane figures being paint lack luster, he purposely adds lots of details and sculpts so customizers can improve them. Nic3 doomsday custom! Much better than oem!

[@superheumann]

Thanks! That’s one of the reasons I love McFarlane figures. The sculpt are amazing and the prices are still affordable.

[@alphawolf9324]

I did the same thing to my mcfarlene spawn with a custom leather flowing cape and lose chains

[@superheumann]

I bet that turned out awesome. I'd love to see it.

[@DarkDekicDuka]

Looks great pal! Are you maybe planning any complete figure makeovers in the near future? I’m talking new head, new cape, completely different paint job etc.

[@superheumann]

Next week I have an Invincible figure that's a full repaint of an Impulse, as well as a Joker Beyond figure that is a kitbash from four different figures. Lots of other stuff on the way too.

[@DarkDekicDuka]

@@superheumann Sounds great, can’t wait.

[@showingYOUtheworld]

Hi my friend 👋 Great videos, but I am really impressed by your skills and knowledge about how exactly to do the things. BRAVO 👏 Please, can I ask you about some advise. I want to make my own custom Lobo 1/6 scale figure and I need to paint a Phicen M35 body in grey. I will be very grateful, if you can tell me how to do that ? Thank you in advance and greetings !

[@superheumann]

I would start with a good gray plastic paint primer. It will make a huge difference. You could even go with a black and then build your paint layers up from there if you want to add color texture. Getting a good primer for plastics is key.

[@michaelb2226]

Yes! I hated the pony tail placement

[@superheumann]

It looks way better sideways. I was nervous about cutting it off, but it was definitely the right choice.

[@JohnAnderson-sr7nf]

Hey steve i wanted to ask you after you get done with painting how do you get the paint to stay on so it dosent rub off ever?

[@superheumann]

Often I'll use a sealant spray, like a gloss or matte enamel. They work very well.

[@Dunecoone]

Kenneth Rocafort Is THE BEST COMIC BOOK ARTIST.

[@superheumann]

His stuff is awesome. I particularly love some of his New 52 Superman work.

[@Dunecoone]

@@superheumann The art of his panels. Just the panels! Are amazing. Just found your channel yesterday. Spectacular. Bob Ross vibes 👍

[@superheumann]

@@Dunecoone Thanks so much. I'm so glad you enjoy it.

[@JohnAnderson-sr7nf]

Oh i for got to tell you which i did with mine the bones over hes eyes

[@superheumann]

How did they turn out? I thought about that, but thought I wouldn't be able to get them small enough.

[@JohnAnderson-sr7nf]

Oh good i used thin wire and easy to cut small enough to go over hes eyes looks now he looks more like did in the comic book

[@iliketocomment8144]

You definitely improved the look of this figure by 100 percent. Can you paint me one because I love Doomsday and was thinking about buying this two figure pack. The original paint is what threw me off about it and to not wanna buy it. 😆 But this is what I envisioned it could look like, I just don’t have the time. Do you put any clear over the paint to seal it and preserve it? Mcfarlane is lazy on a lot of their paint applications to a lot of their figures and products. It’s a shame because this is what it could be and would make people buy it with no problem. I don’t know what their deal is but it sucks. It’s a sad shame is what it is, they need to hire and fire someone. Awesome Doomsday figures are hard to come buy these days, so is another of my favorites Sabretooth. I am buying that two pack Marvel Legends Wolverine and Sabretooth because finally a decent Sabretooth. 😆

[@superheumann]

I usually coat figures in either a glossy or matte finish to protect the paint. Vallejo paints don't necessarily need it, but it's an extra layer that keeps the figures protected ever after.

[@violentboy3095]

It would be the greatest figure if todd added and extra close fist but he had to get it nothing but won close fist and open fist? Dammit todd. I would say his just a great figure. Not greatest if he had those complete fist then I'll decide the doomsday he created is the greatest than storm collectibles.

[@superheumann]

I agree. Closed fists would definitely be more Doomsday-appropriate.

[@kobocopcustoms]

Do you have a video that details what kind of resin you use as adhesive for the sculpting compound on the figure? And how do you prepare it, Where do you buy it?

[@superheumann]

It's call Milliput and I just bought it at Hobby Lobby. It's a mixture resin where you mix together the two active parts and then it hardens like plastic over the next four or five hours. It's great stuff. I'll be using it in more videos in the coming weeks, particularly my Electric Blue Superman custom.

[@kobocopcustoms]

@@superheumann I'm familiar with milliput. I was talking about the clear stuff that you were applying with the spoon. I usually use some kind of super glue, but I want to get away from it because it discolors

[@superheumann]

Got it! It's a Devcon 5-minute epoxy. It's tougher than superglue and works amazing.

[@kobocopcustoms]

@@superheumann thank you!!! I haven't heard of it before! So that sticks really strong to flexible plastic and milliput?

[@superheumann]

@@kobocopcustoms it does. I got it at Harbor Freight, but I'm sure they have it at Hobby Lobby too. The only downside is that you have to hold it in place at times with things like capes and stuff like that, but with the Milliput you don't have to generally. It's like the Milliput in that it's two different gels that you mix together with a plastic spoon. I like it because it doesn't dry instantly and gives you a chance to shift things around a bit if needed.
