Description
Lead is one of the original Metal Men and we did get a figure of him in the DC Signature Series that was an ATTEMPT by Mattel to do... something that ultimately failed hard. Again, WB corporate interference over something they shouldn't have touched. Different discussion for a different time. Enough to say the Lead figure we got was HUGE compared to how he should have looked.

To correct this, I took the head and chest apron off of the figure we did get and transferred them to a Batman figure that used the Masters of the Universe body style (Which we had been told for YEARS wasn't a 'line swap' they could do for 'reasons'. *insert eyeroll*) and filled in a few details. The result is the broader, bulkier body that Lead should have had.

The original Lead body went to make Blok of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
