Ubu (TNBA)
Posted on July 4, 2013
Difficulty: 
Ubu is part of my “lost wave” of figures. Like the others in this wave, he was fully sculpted almost two years before he was painted.
New School Ubu is yet another variation on the Bane recipe. His Torso is the Batman beyond Happy figure, while the legs are a Mattel new school Batman. The head is a new school Bruce Wayne, with the jaw built up to create his underbite. The various details are Kneadatite or vinyl.
Like the others in this wave, he’s not as strong a custom as I’d like, but after two years, I’m just glad he’d finished.
Created Spring 2005
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
