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...)

Barbara Gordon (Commissioner)

Once I had finished my Detective Renee Montoya custom, I knew she’d make a viable base for a Commissioner Barbra Gordon custom. I had castings made, so I didn’t have to start from scratch. The main difference between Renee and Babs’ body sculpt is the belt. Babs does not have (read more...)

Harvey Bullock (Santa)

Santa Bullock! You have eluded me for almost 14 years. At last, you are on my shelf. Geek Variety Customs’ Harvey Bullock sculpt is not only great as intended, but it makes a very useful base for other “well rounded” characters. Most of the original sculpt’s details were Dremeled off, (read more...)

Green Lantern Larvox

Another Stew kit. Larvox is low enough on the totem pole I might never have gotten around to him on my own. I simply applied paint and magnets. Created March 2014 (read more...)

Renee Montoya (Elf)

I can’t have a Santa Bullock without an Elf Montoya, right? Right. Elf Montoya’s body is the standard Mattel female. I popped off the legs and reapplied at the wider stance, sculpting the short skirt around them to hold them in place. The head is casting of my previous Renee (read more...)

AMAZO

In 2008 I created a properly-scaled AMAZO from a bootleg Flash figure. It was adequate enough, but I recognize it was too thin and a little off in the sculpt. Jump ahead five years, and Stew developed a kit. I assembled new gold and grey versions using magnets for the (read more...)

Robin (Gotham Knight)

To accompany a fully cloaked Bats, one must have a fully cloaked Robin. The basic idea here is to wrap the vinyl around the figure so the vinyl can hang straight. The widest point along the chest is usually the best place. Even then, I had to slice off the (read more...)

Batman (Gotham Knight)

For years, I had been wanting what I called a “silhouette” Batman, meaning a Bats figure enveloped by his cape, usually seen only in shadows. I had actually made one years ago with a removable cloth cape. There’s a reason it’s not to be seen. Now that vinyl had made (read more...)
