DC Universe Action Comics #1 2011 with custom box

[mikecondello]

So I have been quite busy lately, but I decided to throw this figure together. After putting the figure together I just felt that it needed a box for display. So I put together the custom box. It's a real box; I created using Adobe Illustrator, all of the images printed with a High Res printer. I think the box really adds something. Funny Story I made like three smaller versions of the box in the beginning just to make sure that it went together perfectly and was sturdy. The inside insert can be removed from the box, the back panel contains a full info and custom biography based on the new character story from Action Comics 2011

This was the first time making packaging; it turned out so well, I may start doing commissioned custom packaging for people...

The Figure itself is a stone cold Steve Austin figure. I clipped the bottom of the jeans, re-sculpted the rolled up bottoms, and repainted the jeans a more comic blue jean color. I sculpted the bottom and top of the t-shirt, sanded down and painted. Cape is from a dc direct first appearance Superman figure (Irony!) Head is from a dc direct secret identity superman. The figure does retain almost all of the original points of articulation except for the hip swivel. I had to sacrifice it to sculpt a comic accurate edge of the shirt.(i love that he does not have tucked in) The S was designed from scratch using Adobe Illustrator and the Action Comics #1 cover as a guide. There is a basic stand that is in the box as well. It will be going up on eBay; I think it would make a great Christmas present. Item number TBA.
