Jack’s Lab (NBX)

Shortly after Funko/ReAction announced their many “vintage style” toy lines, that wascilly wabbit of the interwebz Jason Geyer posted an amazing fake mock-up of a vintage-style Alien Nostromo ship playset, based on the old Star Wars cantina set. I presume Mr. Geyer meant it as a lark, but I thought (read more...)

Batcave (1989 Movie)

I’ve repainted a lot of ToyBiz Batcave playsets in my time, but never one quite like this. I stumbled across a movie-style repaint by Solitude Is Preferred, and I knew had to make a similar one. I don’t claim mine is anywhere near as nice as Solitude’s, but I’m pleased (read more...)

Minecraft Playset

The day has come when the Monkeysaurus is officially asking me to make him toys, and I am more than happy to accommodate! When he watched me preparing the Iceberg Lounge, he requested I build him a playset for his Minecraft toys. (Minecraft is very big in our house.) I (read more...)

Iceberg Lounge

Ah, the Iceberg Lounge! A wretched hive of scum and… Wait, that’s not right. Well, it’s still full of ne’er-do-wells. It’s just a bit classier than one might expect. I’ve always enjoyed the interpretation of Penguin as an underworld crime lord posing as a respectable business man. It gives him (read more...)

Poison Ivy’s Kitchen

Maybe I’ve watched the episode “Harley and Ivy” too many times, but one day I was struck with how easy it would be to convert a Simpson’s kitchen playset to Ivy’s suburban kitchen in Toxic Acres. The effort consisted primarily of paint, with new graphics for the window and refrigerator. (read more...)

Darkseid’s Throne Room

Darkseid’s throne room had been in the back of my mind as a project for some time, but it was a gathering of the some of the finest customizers for the New Gods showcase that gave me the excuse to make it. Like all playsets of this nature, the first (read more...)

Stacked Deck

I’ve wanted to make a Stacked deck playset for many years now. It shows up in several episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, most prominently in Almost Got ‘im, Batgirl Returns and Beware the Creeper. Years ago I thought a good base for the Stacked Deck would be the Moe’s (read more...)

Mountain

This hunk o’ plastic was found at a garage sale. I’m reasonably sure it was part of a typical green army man set. It was vaguely rock shaped and molded in pale grey plastic, but that’s all that could be said for it. My first thought was to augment the (read more...)

Harley Quinn’s Car

Harley’s car is just a simple repaint of the Shadow car, from the movie of the same name. The secret rocket engines in the back still work, and so does the missile in the front. Harley sat too low in the car, so I built her a small booster seat (read more...)

Gorilla Temple

“Shortly after the founding of Gorilla City, a team of gorilla archaeologists discovered a hidden, ancient temple just outside the city’s outskirts. Such a discovery set off a great deal of controversy, as the temple dated back thousands of years before the citizens of Gorilla City had been bestowed with (read more...)
