Egon Spengler (Courtroom)

When the Mattel Ghostbusters line ended, they left a small hole in the collection. “Courtroom” Peter and ray were made, but not Egon. I meant to take matters into my own hands for some time, but I waited until I found a deal on the parts. I simple placed the (read more...)

Catwoman (New 52)

Some time ago DC Collectibles released a set of seven villain figures. The only new on in the bunch was Catwoman. Naturally, that’s the only one I wanted. But I wasn’t about to pay over $100 for just the one figure. So I waited, hoping Catwoman might show up on (read more...)

Alfred Pennyworth (1966)

I don’t pretend that this looks anything like the late, great Alan Napier, but my ’66 Bats needed an Alfred, and so this will have to do. I chose the Mattel suited body as a base, as it’s tall and skinny, much like Mr. Napier. For the head I chose (read more...)

Red Hood Henchman

One of the few things I’ve enjoyed from DC’s Nu52 is Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s take on Batman. It’s far from perfect, and there’s much about it I would do different, but I appreciate their enthusiasm and dedication to crafting a new corner of the mythos. There’s much to (read more...)

Moloch

I never thought I’d see the day when I not only had a set of Watchmen figures on my shelf, I’d have two (comic and movie). But they needed a villain. Sadly, there isn’t much in the way of costumed villains in the story. The only one is Moloch, and (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Assault on Arkham)

As a card-carrying DC fan, I am required to watch all of the direct-to-disc animated movies produced. Sadly, most of them are junk. (There are only a handful I’ve enjoyed, most I tolerate, and some are downright bad.) One of the surprising gems for me was “Assault on Arkham.” Given (read more...)

Harley Quinn

Of the many Harley Quinn figures I’ve made and/or own, I did not have a “generic” Harley in the 6”-7” scale. (Well, there’s the Mattel version, but it’s pretty lousy.) So I set out to make one. I was struck by how near perfect the DC Direct Livewire might work (read more...)

Joker (Arkham City Game)

Some time ago, an amazing Arkham City Joker head sculpt appeared on Facebook. What was really noteworthy was that this Joker was not smiling. He looked great! The sculpt was by Spawnsauce, and he was offering copies of the noggin. I took him up on the offer, and soon I (read more...)

Harleen Quinzel (Arkham Asylum Doctor)

I have really enjoyed all the “Arkham” games so far, including Arkham Origins. (It may be the weakest, but it’s still better than most games.) And being the Harley fan that I am, I was happy to see her in it, even if her placement was a bit shoehorned. While (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Revenge)

A funny thing happened on the way to making this custom. Less than 24 hours after I put the finishing touches on this one, DC Collectibles announced their own version, due in stores later this year. Sigh. I can’t win for losing. Nonetheless, my version still has merit. I built (read more...)
