Poison Ivy (TNBA)

How many times have I made this version of Ivy now? Five? Six? (And no, most of those incarnations are not on Inanimate Objects. They’ll likely never see the light of day again.) Ivy’s hair is the hardest part of any Ivy custom. It’s so specific in shape, it’s hard (read more...)

Joker (Holiday)

While “Christmas with the Joker” was arguably the worst episode of the original Animated Batman series, I felt Holiday Harley needed a friend on the shelf. A little sculpture and paint and Joker was ready to join his holiday jester for some eggnog. Created Spring 1998 (read more...)

Poison Ivy (Holiday Knights)

“Holiday Knights” was the first TNBA episode to air, and it remains one of my favorites these many years later. The opening scene between Harley and Ivy captures their relationship perfectly, with some beautiful animation. How could I not want to represent that in plastic? “Casual” Ivy started as a (read more...)

Joker (Dentist)

Continuing my never-ending trend of “let’s make every variation of Joker and Harley,” I present Joker in his dentist disguise from the opening scene of “Mad Love.” The recipe here is almost identical to my Arkham Inmate Joker, building on a Mattel Joker body. The arms were cut and replaced (read more...)

Poison Ivy (Arkham Inmate)

One of the driving reasons behind the Arkham Asylum project was the excuse to make some of Batman’s rogues gallery in prison attire. (Like I really needed an excuse.) Since I was working on an updated version Poison Ivy, it seemed natural to make an inmate version of her at (read more...)

Joker (Chef)

This Joker was inspired by one of the outfits seen in the animated comic book. I felt it was so absurd and funny I wanted to make a three-dimensional version. Created Spring 1999 (read more...)

Joker (Swimsuit)

In my quest to keep Joker fashionable, I wanted to make a version of the clown as seen swimming in the episode Harliquinade. The absurdity of him wearing a 1920s styled swimsuit and a floating ducky just amuses me. And the sunglasses are tres chic. The duck is Sculpey around (read more...)

Poison Ivy (Arkham Asylum Game)

I wanted to make an Arkham Asylum Harley, so that meant I had to make a Poison Ivy to go with her. It’s just not balanced otherwise, right? The main body is a standard Mattel female buck, with a casting of my Ivy head sculpt. I swapped the feet from (read more...)

J.J.

Poor little JJ. Man, that’ll ruin your day. (I’ve been asked by viewers to not reveal any spoilers of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, edited or otherwise. Frankly, if you’re seeing this, it’s too late, but I’ll do my best to refrain from saying anything specific.) JJ’s base is (read more...)

Phantasm

This particular custom was really a “side” project, meaning it was made while other figures sat curing or drying. It was really more of an after thought. I never liked Hasbro’s attempt at the character, but I never liked the character enough to actually do anything about it. However, one (read more...)
