cyborg superman minifig

[lockdownTF]

incase your not sure who cyborg superman is heres a picture of him:

so hes basically a cross between terminator and superman. the story for him is that after supermans death at the hands of doomsday this guy turns up claiming to be superman back from the dead as a cyborg(why exactly they ever thought this guy looked remotely trustworthy is beyond me!) but obviously he turns out to be fake.

after taking the robotic arm gun metal peg leg and the head off of the space villian minifig as well as yellow hand just to even out the skin colour I was able to create this:

its not a perfect match of course. I couldn't recreate the half machine torso or the three quarters mechanical skull(don't paint my lego pieces cos it'd ruin them) but I still like the end result.

Since this is a custom minifig, I have appropriately moved this here in the Minifig Customization Workshop.

Though it is a nice attempt seems like a half finished job, body should show some robotics and the hair piece should some how be half

if I had any skill at repainting or print fig details I might try it but since I dont know how to do that this is the best I can do. like I said I don't wanna ruin my minifigs just for one creation.

I think it's a pretty good purist representation. Maybe you could improve on the mechanical leg when the new Monster Hunters (not sure if that's the right name) theme arrives - one of those guys has a robotic leg.

A very nice purist figure! I agree with Praiter, if it's within your budget, pick up the Monster Fighters' hero figure with the mechanical leg. Or, just hold off for a year or two, and Lego might release the part on a Brainiac minifigure, or an official Cyborg Superman.

I hope one day we get a face like you used in flesh color. Not only would it be great for Cyborg Superman, but also for the animated version of Metallo:
