Inanimate Objects

Cyborg Superman

As I work my way through a pile of castings that have accumulated over the years, I decided I better get around to making Cyborg Superman using some classic Glassman parts (head and robot arm). These parts have been waiting a long time to be used. I bet G-man forgot (read more...)

Batman (Grapnel)

You already know that GeekVariety Customs makes some fantastic character kits, but he also makes some great accessories. It’s these little details he adds that can really enhance a figure. In this case, it’s Batman’s grapnel gun, in the BTAS style. GeekVariety made this to fit on a Justice League (read more...)

Officer Pratt

I don’t take commissions often, but for special people I will make exceptions. My pal Barbara asked me to make a special Christmas present for her significant other, Officer Mike Pratt. Working in secret for almost a year, we did just that. It was fun to work on a genuine (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Roller Derby)

A little paint does wonders for a gal’s complexion! I am definitely in the “anti-New 52” camp, and Harley’s a big reason for that. I don’t care much for the direction DC has taken the character. Or rather, I don’t much care for the many directions, as DC can’t seem (read more...)

Javelin-R1

The Secret Saturdays continues to be the toy line that keeps on giving (to customizers)! My “Javelin-R1” is a repaint of the Secret Saturdays Griffin Stealth ship. I found it on clearance, and was struck by its design similarities to the JLU Javelins. Obviously, it’s not a direct match, but (read more...)

Hall of Doom

Imaginext continues their line of amazing playsets. Too bad they’re the wrong scale for Timm-verse figures! That’s okay. They still make great backdrops. Like most of their playsets, this one needed some extra attention in the paint department. The base (the ground and the Hall of Doom’s “legs”) was a (read more...)

Penguin (Casual)

I absolutely love the scene of Batman interrogating Penguin in “The Ultimate Thrill.” Great animation, design work, and character. I’ve always wanted to make a “casual” Pengy, and I finally did. The base is the usual Mattel Penguin. I sanded away the tux, and sculpted the smoking jacket with (read more...)

Joker’s Funhouse

Some of the Imaginext playsets are tremendous fun. I only wish they were a little bit larger to accommodate the Timm-verse scale. Despite that, I’ll still use them as backdrops. They are too much fun to ignore! This was one of the Joker Funhouse playsets. It’s very much designed to (read more...)

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...)
