Solomon Grundy (Gangster)

Most people remember Solomon Grundy as a mindless brute. And he is often depicted that way in comics and animation. However, the original conceit of the comics was Grundy would die and be reborn multiple times, and often he would be reborn differently that his previous incarnation. Sometimes he came (read more...)

Supergirl (2024)

Todd McFarlane’s use of the DC license has gone from “unique and appropriate sculpts for every new character” to “let’s reuse those parts no matter how inappropriate.” To be clear, I have no problem with reuse of parts when the parts make sense to do so. It’s when the boundaries (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (Desert Garb)

Some time ago, somebody turned me on to the Jakks Pacific Scorpion King Cassandra figure from 2002. The quality is not up to modern standards, but it’s not a bad figure. And she scales well enough with 1:10th stuff. I knew I could use her for a “desert garb” Talia. (read more...)

Wonder Woman (2024)

It seemed to take McFarlane an inordinate amount of time to release a “classic” Wonder Woman. To date he has yet to produce a “modern” comics version. That’s what I wanted to achieve in this simple project. It’s just a leg/pelvis swap between a classic Diana and a movie Diana. (read more...)

Zatanna Zatara (2024)

Of the handful of Zatanna figures over the years, none have even come close to the version I want. I decided it was time to fix that. Sadly, I’ve forgotten many of the details that went into this project. I can tell you the head is a 3D print sculpted (read more...)

Garraka

I stumbled across this Garraka 3D sculpt by CAITLINSCULPTS on Cults3D. It’s quite good, and I knew I would want to scale it up from Real Ghostbusters scale to 1:1o. That skirt barely fit inside ye olde Elegoo Jupiter, but it got the job done! I only wish I had (read more...)

Penguin (No Man’s Land)

So McFarlane finally got around to producing a proper, comic-based Penguin. And it’s fairly decent! The scale is wrong (he’s too large, his head is ginormous compared to others), but it’s a solid sculpt and articulation. Todd’s version represents Penguin’s “classic” color scheme, which surprised me, given Todd’s clear preference (read more...)

Penguin (Iceberg Lounge)

So McFarlane finally got around to producing a proper, comic-based Penguin. And it’s fairly decent! The scale is wrong (he’s too large, his head is ginormous compared to others), but it’s a solid sculpt and articulation. Todd’s version represents Penguin’s “classic” color scheme, which surprised me, given Todd’s clear preference (read more...)

Harley Quinn Noir 2.0 (White Knight)

You might be wondering why I chose to remake a character as a custom figure so soon after my previous effort. Two reasons: 1) better parts became available, and 2) I had the opportunity to prepare one as a gift for Mr. Sean Murphy and his wife Katana Collins. This (read more...)

Harleen Quinzel (Go-Go Dancer)

In the book Batman White Knight Presents Harley Quinn, we see a younger Harleen Quinzel making her way through college as a Go-Go dancer at a “gentlemen’s club,” as depicted by artist Matteo Scalera. As I was preparing some customs for an event, I realized I had just enough time (read more...)
