Inanimate Objects

Linda & Joe

Another pair of wedding figures join the ranks! This time it’s of friends Linda and Joe. Joe is obviously made from a Mattel JL Luthor figure, with some Kneadatite hair and a few paint changes. Linda’s skirt is Super Sculpey over aluminum foil, while the train is left over from (read more...)

Kevin Conroy (II)

Some time ago I crafted a custom action figure of the multi-talented Kevin Conroy, and presented it to him as a gift. You can read all about that tale here. This is the sequel. About three months ago Mr. Conroy contacted me and asked if I could produce additional copies (read more...)

Kevin Conroy (I)

In May of 2012, Kevin Conroy was scheduled to make an appearance at a local show here in Dallas. I was not planning on attending the show, until a friend talked me into making a custom of Kevin Conroy (THE voice of Batman, as far as many of us are (read more...)

Jane & Greg

I was honored when my good friend Jane asked me if I’d make toy representations of her and her soon-to-be husband Greg to sit atop their wedding cake. Since this was the first time I would be attempting to make figures based on real people, I relished the opportunity. The (read more...)

Elizabeth & Chris

Congratulations to Elizabeth and Chris! My friend Elizabeth asked me to make caketoppers for her wedding, and I was happy to oblige. I wish them both all the happiness in the world. Chris is made from a Mattel Luthor body, and a Hasbro Luthor head. His hair is Magic Sculpt. (read more...)

Casimir

Making a custom figure of one’s self always seemed a bit silly to me, unless there was a good reason. Well, here at Inanimate Objects, I have a darned good reason! That reason is the Violist, and the Violist figure needed some company. Thus Casimir is now immortalized in plastic. (read more...)

Beth & Wally

Beth was my dance parter for a long time, back when I was dancing as often as I was customizing. We had some great times on the dance floor. Needless to say, I was quite pleased when she told me she’d found a fella worth settling down with. Wally is (read more...)

Allison & Jamey

Allison and Jamey were fun figures to make, as they presented some new challenges. Jamey had chosen to wear a vest without a jacket. Thanks to the odd sculpting choices of Mattel, their animated Two-Face figure fit the bill, requiring minimal sculptural changes on my part. I did swap the (read more...)

Vampirella

Like so many of my projects, this one took years to finish. A few years ago, a fellow customizer made me aware of this Vampirella garage kit, based on art by the amazing Bruce Timm. I subsequently missed an opportunity to obtain such a kit on eBay, and it would (read more...)

Supergirl (STAS)

Through my regular searches for unique animated-style creations, I recently stumbled upon the amazing talent of Kristopher Meadows. Not only is he a talented painter and illustrator, but he’s on fire as a sculptor. Just look at this Supergirl! That’s the most accurate rendition of Kara I’ve ever seen in (read more...)
