Inanimate History: Transformers

Back during the aughts, Takara released (or licensed?) these tiny PVC figures of cartoon-accurate Transformers. These were some of the most accurate representations of many of these characters ever, and remain so to this day. Each one was blind boxed (Grrr!), so I’d buy a case. Each case had a (read more...)

Inanimate History: Star Wars

I’m a part of the Star Wars generation. And no matter how much the Prequels stank, I will never shake my love for Star Wars. Like so many people my age, it’s part of me, whether I like it or not. I recently came across some old art, and thought (read more...)

Inanimate History: Old Customs

I recently stumbled across the last remaining evidence of some of my early efforts at customizing. Most of these are from 1994-1995. I’d been customizing all my life. I simply didn’t know it had a name until that point. Bear in mind there was no internet or Photoshop back then. (read more...)

Casimir’s Collection 2014

It’s been five years since the last collection set of images appeared. Time for a new batch! Please bear in mind I did little in the way of preparation for these. I simply got a bee in my bonnet and starting shooting photos of the shelves in their natural habitat. (read more...)

Catwoman (Reclined)

When I designed my second Gsptlsnz figure, I kept the base figure intentionally generic. I knew I’d want to make some of the other DC gals in this format. Catwoman is the first! Aside from cleaning up the casting a little, there’s not much beyond black paint and slapping a (read more...)

Minecraft Playset

The day has come when the Monkeysaurus is officially asking me to make him toys, and I am more than happy to accommodate! When he watched me preparing the Iceberg Lounge, he requested I build him a playset for his Minecraft toys. (Minecraft is very big in our house.) I (read more...)

Iceberg Lounge

Ah, the Iceberg Lounge! A wretched hive of scum and… Wait, that’s not right. Well, it’s still full of ne’er-do-wells. It’s just a bit classier than one might expect. I’ve always enjoyed the interpretation of Penguin as an underworld crime lord posing as a respectable business man. It gives him (read more...)

Bibbo Bibbowski

Ever since I made my version of Detective Harvey Bullock from Geek Variety Customs’ sculpt, I’ve wanted to use the same base for other characters of, uh, a certain girth. And Bibbo had long been on my list. Much of the Bullock details were Dremeled off. I mainly needed the (read more...)

Adversary

Adversary appeared in only a couple of issues of Superman comics in the early 2000s. He was meant as a parody of the many over-the-top villains of the preceding decade. The character didn’t really take off with fans, and he hasn’t been seen in comics since. A short time later, (read more...)

Baby Doll (TNBA)

Baby Doll is one of the most difficult customs to make. The TNBA version can be especially vexing, as the simplicity of her design allows no room for error. I have tried many times over the years, and I have the discarded sculpts to prove it. Thus I was thrilled (read more...)
