Penguin (TNBA)

I have mixed feelings about McFarlane reissuing the DC Direct 1:12 animated Bat lines. On the one hand, more figures means more fodder, and keeps after market prices down. That’s good. And new characters via Build-a-Figures is… kinda good, but also dirty pool on Todd’s part. But TNBA doesn’t even (read more...)

Penguin (No Man’s Land)

So McFarlane finally got around to producing a proper, comic-based Penguin. And it’s fairly decent! The scale is wrong (he’s too large, his head is ginormous compared to others), but it’s a solid sculpt and articulation. Todd’s version represents Penguin’s “classic” color scheme, which surprised me, given Todd’s clear preference (read more...)

The Cost of Customs

The Cost of Customs (or Why I Rarely Sell My Work) I am often told, by fellow enthusiasts and “muggles” alike, that I should sell my customized toys and creations. “You could make a lot of money,” they say. No disrespect, but anyone saying this has no idea what they (read more...)

Sean Murphy Event, June 8, 2024

I was honored (and flattered, and floored!) to be asked by Sean Murphy, creator of the Batman: White Knight books I so enjoy, to attend a private event he was hosting in Dallas, Texas. He asked if I would bring my custom figures based on his work. I could not (read more...)

Harley Quinn Noir 2.0 (White Knight)

You might be wondering why I chose to remake a character as a custom figure so soon after my previous effort. Two reasons: 1) better parts became available, and 2) I had the opportunity to prepare one as a gift for Mr. Sean Murphy and his wife Katana Collins. This (read more...)

Harleen Quinzel (Casual)

This White Knight style Harleen statue was made as a gift for Sean Murphy and his wife Katana Collins. I may have also made a copy for myself. 😉 The body and door frame come from a digital sculpt of Penny (Big Bang Theory) by the talented @torrida.minis. I swapped (read more...)

Harleen Quinzel (Go-Go Dancer)

In the book Batman White Knight Presents Harley Quinn, we see a younger Harleen Quinzel making her way through college as a Go-Go dancer at a “gentlemen’s club,” as depicted by artist Matteo Scalera. As I was preparing some customs for an event, I realized I had just enough time (read more...)

Batman (Azrael Unmasked)

This one’s just a simple head swap. The older Jean-Paul Valley of the White Knight universe was made from a General Zod head and an Azrael body. I simply added the ponytail. (From some random hair bits in fodder.) The rest is paint. Created June 2023 (read more...)
