Inanimate Objects

Supergirl (2024)

Todd McFarlane’s use of the DC license has gone from “unique and appropriate sculpts for every new character” to “let’s reuse those parts no matter how inappropriate.” To be clear, I have no problem with reuse of parts when the parts make sense to do so. It’s when the boundaries (read more...)

Talia al Ghul (Desert Garb)

Some time ago, somebody turned me on to the Jakks Pacific Scorpion King Cassandra figure from 2002. The quality is not up to modern standards, but it’s not a bad figure. And she scales well enough with 1:10th stuff. I knew I could use her for a “desert garb” Talia. (read more...)

Whirly-Bat

I got into 3D resin printing so I could make my own action figure heads and vehicles. Most of those vehicles tend to be big Batmobiles, but this Whirly-Bat is an excellent example of what can be achieved on a more modest level. The 3D files were developed by japjxp (read more...)

Wonder Woman (2024)

It seemed to take McFarlane an inordinate amount of time to release a “classic” Wonder Woman. To date he has yet to produce a “modern” comics version. That’s what I wanted to achieve in this simple project. It’s just a leg/pelvis swap between a classic Diana and a movie Diana. (read more...)

Zatanna Zatara (2024)

Of the handful of Zatanna figures over the years, none have even come close to the version I want. I decided it was time to fix that. Sadly, I’ve forgotten many of the details that went into this project. I can tell you the head is a 3D print sculpted (read more...)

Arkham Asylum Gate

InPrintCondition developed some great 3D files while they were operating. They primarily developed Star Wars stuff (which was excellent), but I was more excited for their Gotham-based stuff. I have several sets of files to work through. This Arkham Asylum gate is a prime example of their work. It is (read more...)

Brainiac’s Skullship

I don’t collect or customize much in the “Super Powers” scale, but I know several folks who do, and I enjoy seeing their work. Somewhere in that world, photos of this Brainiac ship started to bubble up. Turns out it was designed by DFSergent on Thingiverse, and it’s a totally (read more...)

Garraka

I stumbled across this Garraka 3D sculpt by CAITLINSCULPTS on Cults3D. It’s quite good, and I knew I would want to scale it up from Real Ghostbusters scale to 1:1o. That skirt barely fit inside ye olde Elegoo Jupiter, but it got the job done! I only wish I had (read more...)

Penguin (TNBA)

I have mixed feelings about McFarlane reissuing the DC Direct 1:12 animated Bat lines. On the one hand, more figures means more fodder, and keeps after market prices down. That’s good. And new characters via Build-a-Figures is… kinda good, but also dirty pool on Todd’s part. But TNBA doesn’t even (read more...)

Penguin (No Man’s Land)

So McFarlane finally got around to producing a proper, comic-based Penguin. And it’s fairly decent! The scale is wrong (he’s too large, his head is ginormous compared to others), but it’s a solid sculpt and articulation. Todd’s version represents Penguin’s “classic” color scheme, which surprised me, given Todd’s clear preference (read more...)
