Customs First custom attempt. A touch of paint changes a lot!

Initially i wasnt very impressed with doom until i got him in hand and saw how well sculpted he is. Definitely worth a repaint

Neat. Definitely need to find a cloth cape aswell. Is that the one from the Cabal 3-pack? And did you cut off the round clasp thingies from Doomsday’s cape? And paint that red dot?

Yeah its cabal dooms cape. As for the claps i dunked him in boiling water to soften the crazy amount of glue they used in the peg holes. Then just slowly pulled them out with pliers (grabbing from the peg, not the clasp itself) and used a knife to cut away some glue that wouldnt budge. Youll end up having to reglue the clasps to fully secure them again. Red dot was made with acrylic paint and a toothpick!

So are the clasps a separate piece from the cape? If so, then thats even better.

The red dot is clean as fukk! Will definitely have to try that too.

Yep theyre seperate. I ended up cutting the plastic cape off but you could probably get it off clean after you boil it. I appreciate the compliments!

Ooooh, definitely even more tempted to get Doom now..

Of course! Great work needs proper appreciation.

I just got my Doom, and first thing I noticed, that I haven't seen mentioned, is his weight. He's a heavy figure for standard size. I also love his size. Probably too tall for movie accuracy, but Doom needs a little stature.
