Batman (DKR Unmasked)

Another fine custom made possible by Hunter Knight Customs! This is Hunter’s rendition of Bruce Wayne’s noggin as it appears in the animated Dark Knight Returns. Given Hunter’s mastery of the Masters of the Universe Classics body types, and the fact this DKR Batman was based on those parts, he (read more...)

Harley Quinn 1966

After waiting all my life, I finally have some halfway decent 1966 Batman toys on the shelf. But as I set them up for the first time, something seemed to be missing. Harley, of course! But our dear kookey gal didn’t exist back then. So I asked myself what she (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (Hush)

It seems I’m in the minority when it comes to admitting I actually enjoyed “Hush.” Despite this social stigma, I still want more “Hush” figures, so the customizing continues. This latest effort is the lovely and deadly Talia, seen here sporting a charming ensemble, perfect for wearing to an abduction (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (First Appearance)

While researching the details of Classic Ra’s al Ghul, I viewed both Ra’s and Talia’s first appearances with fresh eyes. I was struck by how similar Talia’s dress from her first appearance was to that of the Mary Jane figure from the Spider-Man line. Except for Mary Jane’s sculpted clasp, (read more...)

Supergirl (Cir-El McG Style)

As I continue my descent ito the world of McG customs, I wanted to continue with the cast of “Public Enemies.” Thus I chose the (oft maligned) Cir-El, a.k.a. Supergirl, for my next project. I know her tenure was short-lived, and she wasn’t terribly popular, but I thought the idea (read more...)

Superlad

And thus begins my downward fall on the slippery slope of McGuinness style customs! I’ve always enjoyed McGuinness’ art, and fellow customizer Swass has shown how much fun these can be. I’m hoping to make more in the future, but I’ll start small for now. Superlad is just the standard (read more...)

Superboy (McG Style)

McGuinness-style customs are a lot like animated figures: they tend to easily multiply .I knew I might get sucked in once I made Superlad. Superboy is part of my effort to finish out the “S” and “B” teams seen in the “Public Enemies” storyline. I really struggled trying to find (read more...)

Hugo Strange

This piece barely qualifies as a custom. I simply added DC Direct’s Hugo Strange head to a DC Direct Jimmy Olsen figure. The only extra work required building up a bit of neck and painting it. Easy and simple. Created Summer 2009 (read more...)

Soranik Natu

Not following the various Green Lantern stories as closely as I’d like, I’d never heard of Soranik Natu until fellow CAPE enthusiast Ned contacted me about a potential commission as a birthday gift for his wife Margie. Lucky for Ned I had a brief window in my schedule. It doesn’t (read more...)

Lady Shiva (Hush)

Lady Shiva is another custom designed to fill out the ranks of my “Hush” shelf. I can’t say she’s my favorite character, or that I was particularly moved by her appearance in “Hush,” and yet, here she is. Finding a base body was tough, as the usual suspects didn’t quite (read more...)
