Inanimate Objects

Talia al Ghul (TNBA)

A new school Talia was a relatively easy project, made from the Hasbro Talia. Most of the details were dremeled away, and the peek-a-boo curl was corrected. The club-hopping boots were replaced with the more subtle heels of the movie Batgirl figure. Kneadatite squared out the shoulders a bit, and (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (BTAS)

Well, like all the recent Hasbro/ TRU offerings, I am perplexed by Talia. I am oh so thankful to have her, yet scratching my head as to why she’s not quite right. The basic design is accurate, the sculpt is acceptable. But the look is off. Again, I think they (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (Desert Garb)

“Slinky dress” Talia is part of my “lost wave” of figures. Like the others in this wave, she was fully sculpted almost two years before she was painted. The base body is the Hasbro new school Poison Ivy. The details were Dremeled off, and the head was replaced with a (read more...)

Star Sapphire

Ah, Star Sapphire… The little custom that almost wasn’t. Sapphire’s another of those that’s been on my list a long time. When I finally found the time to make her, I found the sculptural modifications and additions to the Wonder Woman base were not too difficult. Diana’s details were sanded (read more...)

Stalker

I’ve never been into collecting prototype figures. I’d just as soon have the finished figure. (Or often, in my case, an improved figure.) Stalker is different. To my knowledge, he’s the only animated Bat character that was made in prototype form, showed to the public and yet didn’t get released. (read more...)

Spellbinder

While not the most interesting villain to come along in awhile, he was visually striking. Originally, I was going to base him on a Nightwing figure, but I felt he’d look too much like all the other Nightwing-based customs. I waited until the new Riddler was available, and I’m glad (read more...)

Sneak Peek

Why? Why did I make such a boring, not-likely-to-appear again villain? Because I had the parts, that’s why. The body is new school Two-Face, with a modified Nightwing head. (I added the curly-Q.) While the results may be less than stunning, he does add a certain brightness of color to (read more...)

Shade

This Shade recipe has been around for several years now. I’m just now getting to him. Specifically, mine is based on my pal Tyke’s version. Though the scale is a bit tall, the best base is the old “Rumble Ready” Riddler. His body style is a near perfect match for (read more...)

Selina Kyle

Selina was made as part of a themed online exhibition. In this instance, the theme was Catwoman. As I had already made most of the versions of Catwoman as she’s seen in the Timm-verse, I opted to make her alter secret identity of Selina Kyle. I used a Justice Lords (read more...)

Mirror Master

Just a simple additon here, folks, but it makes all the difference. Using Kneadatite I added Mirror Master’s mantle atop his chest. I mixed some green to match the existing colors, and voila! It’s done. Simple but effective. Created Spring 2006 (read more...)
