Ghostbusters (Marshmallow)

When Mattel produced their 6″ line of Ghostbusters, I was very disappointed in the marshmallow versions of the ‘Busters. Mattel took the cheap way out and slapped on a minimal amount of white paint. There was no additional sculpting to represent the mass of marshmallow that covered each fellow, and (read more...)

Site Update: March 16, 2018 GOTHAM WARS!

As with so many things in life, this story starts with a girl. Harley, to be exact. (No surprise there.) Many years ago, I decided I wanted to customize a “Slave Leia” Harley Quinn figure. (I go into more detail on the Ha’leen Quin-Zell page.) Jump ahead five or six (read more...)

Ha’leen Quin-Zell

Ha’leen Quin-Zell represents Harleen Quinzell in “Gotham Wars.” And frankly, the whole thing is her fault. Many years ago, I got it in my head to adapt Harley to the “slave Leia” look. I was inspired by some of the great fan art and cosplayers I’d seen, but I’d never (read more...)

Pyggy

Pyggy represents a Gamorrean Guard in “Gotham Wars.” He’s a simple repaint of Professor Pyg. He was such an obvious addition to the cast I could not ignore him. Created February 2018 (read more...)

RD-L3R

RD-L3R represents a generic protocol droid/Riddler in “Gotham Wars.” He’s a repaint of the Black Series C-3PO. The green is Testor’s metallic green, which came out far better than I expected. I added some rust spots with acrylic. Created February 2018 (read more...)

The Knight

The Knight represents a Jedi/Batman in “Gotham Wars.” My initial plan was to simply slap a black rope over an existing Batman figure, place a lightsaber in his hand, and call it a day. That plan changed when I came across the Black Series landspeeder on clearance, and it got (read more...)

Joh’ker the Hutt

Joh’ker the Hutt represents Joker/Jabba the Hutt in “Gotham Wars.” He’s a simple repaint of the Black Series Jabba figure. His yellow underbelly became white. And his face got a Ledger-style makeover, complete with glossy drool. Created February 2018 (read more...)

Bobah Sh’ott

Bobah Sh’ott represents Boba Fett/Deadshot in “Gotham Wars.” He’s a straight-up repaint of the white “prototype” Boba Fett figure. I masked off the cloth cape, shot him with dullcote so the paint had something to adhere to, and went to town with the trusty acrylics. It was fun trying to (read more...)

AL-FR3D

AL-FR3D plays the part of R2-D2/Alfred Pennyworth in “Gotham Wars.” He’s just a simple repaint. After masking off certain sections, I applied Testor’s transparent black spray paint. Any blue details remaining were hand painted black. I left a “v” shape unpainted on the front to suggest the shape of Alfred’s (read more...)

Robin In Carbonite

Once the idea of expanding from a single custom of Harley as slave Leia turned into “Gotham Wars,” it didn’t take long to figure out that someone was going to end up frozen in Carbonite. Robin was my first choice, because the idea struck me as funny. I also knew (read more...)
