Valkyrie (Bombshell)

If you’re a comics enthusiast, you have probably seen the famous cover of Airboy by Dave Stevens that features Valkyrie. (Go ahead. Google it. I’ll wait.) During the Golden Age of comics, Valkyrie was to Airboy what Catwoman is to Batman. Valkyrie started out as a Nazi villain, but switched (read more...)

Vampirella (17″)

Some time ago I had the good fortune to stumble across the work of Gordon Oberman. He’s an amazing sculptor, painter, and caster. He had produced this amazing Vampirella by Tony Cipriano, itself adapted from one of Bruce Timm’s Vampirella drawings, into this amazing piece of three-dimensional beauty! I knew (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Dini Sketch) Colorized

What do you do when you find a DC Collectibles “Black and White” statue on Amazon for a ridiculously low clearance price? You buy it and paint it, of course! This one is based on Paul Dini’s infamous sketch of Harley as he wrote the character for the first time. (read more...)

Batgirl (TNBA) Colorized

What do you do when you find a DC Collectibles “Black and White” statue on Amazon for a ridiculously low clearance price? You buy it and paint it, of course! Not much to add for this one. She’s all paint. I did adjust her lazy left eye, at the insistence (read more...)

Batmobile (1970s)

Thanks to the magic of the internet, it is now possible to learn about toys I never knew of in decades past, discover how they can be modified to meet current needs, and then actually find said items for purchase. Thanks to Ninjaburger1 over on the Fwoosh forums, I learned (read more...)

Joker ’89

Much like Catwoman, it’s a crime no company has manufactured a proper Jack Nicholson Joker in 6″ or 7″ scale. Until that day arrives, I will fill that gap with temporary measures. This came about because of the burgeoning trade on eBay in shrunken Hot Toys head sculpts. I found (read more...)

Catwoman (Year One)

I had bought a DC Essentials for use of some parts on other projects, including her hair for Easter Bunny Harley. Once I had removed her mane, I thought, “hey, this looks familiar.” And then I realized I had a mighty need to make a Year One Catwoman. I had (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Unmasked)

I was one of those that was excited to hear McFarlane had won the license to make DC action figures. His Fortnite offerings proved he could make excellent and fun figures that featured a wide range of articulation. Todd may still love his statues, but the market had changed and (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Easter Bunny)

Frank Cho is an amazing artist that brings a sense of whimsy and wonder to his art. I have been a fan for many years. Lately he has been tasked with designing alternate Harley Quinn comic book covers. Each one is a gem that tells a little story. My efforts (read more...)
