Inanimate Objects

Harley Quinn (2015)

This little beauty was sculpted and cast by Vance T. of Bad Faerie Productions. He does some amazing work, and I hope to add more of his pieces to my shelf someday. (Hello, nurse!) Around the time I obtained this kit from Vance, I discovered the work of John Ficchi. (read more...)

Harvey Dent (1989 Movie)

Let’s be honest. Mattel’s attempts at making 3 ¾” scale figures has been a joke since day one. Everything they’ve made looks like a Happy Meal toy. Especially compared to some of the works of art Hasbro has released at that scale. I guess practice really does make perfect. With (read more...)

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...)

Batman (Anti-Fire)

This one’s been on the books for years, but never seemed to make the cut. I finally got around to it with this batch. The boots, gauntlets, and belt buckle are made from Magic Sculpt. For the remainder of the belt, I got lazy and applied cut vinyl. Note to (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...)

Hugo Strange

Another Stew kit. Hugo Strange appeared in one episode of BTAS, and for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment in JLU. Naturally, I had to make both versions. Created May 2015 (read more...)

Hill Valley (BTTF)

The vintage-style playsets continue! This time it’s just a backdrop, as the Delorean is really the centerpiece. My choice of the lightning-struck clocktower was more chance than my decision. Not having the time to craft some art from scratch, I searched for the largest images I could find. This one (read more...)

Serenity

The recent vintage-style figures by Funko and ReAction demand playsets for display, but there are none to be had. What’s a customizer to do? Take matters into his own hands, of course. Like Jack’s Lab and Christmastown, the Serenity playset is modeled after the vintage Star Wars versions. I wanted (read more...)

Christmastown

Another fine collaboration with the amazing A-Tyke of the Customs! After Tyke and I finished our vintage-style Jack’s Lab playset, Tyke moved on to Christmastown. The basic premise was to create a backdrop that would work with one of Kenner’s ubiquitous bases. Tyke used screenshots from recent games and modified (read more...)
