Shazam (Captain Marvel)...need some suggestions

[dadvader]

I've been working on a Shazam custom, and it still needs some touch ups. But mostly I need ideas for boots, I'll paint them gold but have nothing in stock that would work and want some ideas. I thought about the Captain American early version boots, but not sure they go with my theme. Also, what head would you suggest. I could paint this Jake Gyllenhaal head...but it's just not the perfect look for me. Any thoughts?

How about trying to make the sandal/boots a la new 52? by the way, where did you get material for the suit?

 

[dadvader]

Suit is Jor-el's. Hmmmm, have to explore e-bay for the sandal look.

What about Thor Boots?

And why flash has hole in top?

 

[dadvader]

Great idea! Thanks.

The bolt was a necklace, so I have to fill in the hole a the crack in the paint.

 

[Deadp00l]

I'm simple love your DC figures So I'm happy to help you =)

Thanks man, I bid on Thor boots about 2 min. ago.

Head ideas anyone?

Shazam has a stoic look like superman I would suggest this guy with some tweaking by removing neck hair paint etc.

Thanks Groovy. Going to look for some more images of that head. The biggest problem is the neck, it won't work with the current body.

 

[Groovy34]

thats why i suggesting removing neck and sanding sown to look like neckless versions

 

[dadvader]

Never thought of that, GREAT IDEA! Actually, I have another figure I could do that with also.

 

[Bruce Kent]

Maybe the knock off Cavill head? Looks different enough from Man of Steel, and Cavill does kinda fit the look, especially the hair....

 

[Groovy34]

that could work too i would paint his hair a deep black .

[dadvader]

That would actually be the perfect head, but I want to pose him next to MOS. Still may have to go with it. I think I'm going to try this head with a repaint and maybe hair sculpt.

 

[Groovy34]

do you got more pics of this head it doesnt look all that great for Shazam more for a comic book Bruce Wayne

you know soldier story heads don't go on anyother body without moding it so they don't look like stumpy neck.

 

[Groovy34]

this one is perfect just need to cut the neck and sand it to be neckless, it practically screams shazam

I think it's the same head.
the necks if you use a hairdryer are easy to cut with a blade.
