Batspeeder

The Batspeeder was not in the original plan for “Gotham Wars,” but I came across a Black Series landspeeder on clearance, and it just spoke to me. Funny how projects expand like that. The detail on the landspeeder is fantastic! They managed to replicate all the damage seen on screen. (read more...)

Swoop

As “Gotham Wars” took shape in my head, I knew White Diamond would need a ride with which she could pull the Carbonite block. I asked around, and some of the folks on Fwoosh recommended this piece from Hasbro’s “Hero Mashers” line. At first glance, I thought it was too (read more...)

White Diamond

White Diamond is the bounty hunter persona of Ha’leen Quin-Zell, representing Harley Quinn in “Gotham Wars.” She’s a repaint of a Black Series Sabine Wren. I removed Sabine’s head and reworked the neck, allowing it to be swappable with an unmasked noggin (a Suicide Squad Harley head). The name comes (read more...)

Stacked Deck (Exterior)

The various cardboard backdrops and sets produced by Extreme-Sets have been a real boon to toy photographers. I’ve really enjoyed rotating the sets into the mix. One of those sets plays the part of a dock, complete with shipping containers and crates. Once I saw the advanced photos of the (read more...)

Mikey “Flyturtle”

My history with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles goes back to the original Mirage comic book. I loved it! Enough so that when the first cartoon premiered, I was instantly disappointed by it because it had been so heinously dumbed down for kids. (I was never a fan of the (read more...)

Laff It Up Comedy Club

Thanks to the magic of the interwebz, I was made aware of a dollhouse ballet studio playset that was appearing on clearance at Target. I was able to snag one of these beauties on the cheap. I knew it had potential, but at first I wasn’t sure what it should (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Bombshell)

When I crafted an unmasked Harley noggin from a Roxy Rocket figure, I knew I didn’t want the rest of Roxy to go to waste. Fortunately, the answer was staring me in the face from my shelves: animated-style Bombshell Harley! It was a natural fit! As with some of my (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Unmasked)

You knew it wouldn’t be long before I fashioned an unmasked Harley head. Ironically, within a few days of finishing this, DC Collectibles announced their own in the Harley Expressions pack. (The Casimir Curse strikes again!) Fortunately, that head is meant for the BTAS body, and mine fits the larger (read more...)

Wonder Woman (Kid Stuff)

Kid Stuff Wonder Woman uses Stew’s kit for the body. I don’t recall making any changes to it. I did, however, use a different noggin for the head. I happened to have an old Legend of Zelda figure in the parts box. (I bought it on clearance thinking it might (read more...)

Superman (Kid Stuff)

Kid Stuff Superman uses Stew’s kit. I added some minor details, such as belt loops and boot tops. His cape is an old Kenner Superman cape. I printed and applied the logo via decoupage. The rest is magnets and paint. Created July 2016 (read more...)
