Harley Quinn (As Poison Ivy)
Harley has a tradition of wearing the outfits and costumes of her friends and allies. (And sometimes her enemies.) She’s sort of the Bugs Bunny of Gotham that way. Mattel’s final Poison Ivy figure was…. not as good as I think they intended. As far as I’m concerned, the perfect (read more...)
Harley Quinn (Sideshow Style)
Sometimes you start swappin’ heads, and the customs just make themselves. I had used the unmasked Harley head from Mattel’s last Harley figure, and was left with the body. Then I remembered I had the alternate Mezco heads just sitting in a drawer. Why not use them? So I popped (read more...)
Harley Quinn (Unmasked Mezco)
This isn’t much of a custom, per se. It’s just an alternate Mezco head on a DC Direct Essentials Harley body. In fact, this has been on my shelf in this state for over a year already. I didn’t even think of it as a custom. More like “a place (read more...)
Bruce Wayne (Snyderverse)
I recently asked eBay seller one12club if he could print some of the 1/12th heads he was offering as 1/10, and he agreed. I ordered a whole mess of noggins, and Ben Affleck is the first one to get used. Bruce Wayne in the Snyderverse is fond of three-piece suits. (read more...)
Marty McFly (1885)
I waited over 30 years for Back to the Future figures. The wait was (almost) worth it, what with NECA nailing it almost every time. I’m sure NECA will eventually give us some Part 3 costumes. In fact, if the Casimir Curse holds, my making this almost guarantees it. You’re (read more...)
Speeder Bike (Mandalorian)
This speeder bike, as seen in two episodes of the Mandalorian, was one of my first forays into 3D printing. I had access to a filament printer for awhile, and chose this as a reasonable learning project. I consider it a partial success. In-hand, it’s rough. I clearly have a (read more...)
Wonder Woman (Wingless Armor)
Wonder Woman 1984… did not deliver as promised. Still, despite some highly questionable choices in the script, it featured some lovely visuals, not the least of which was Diana in her Kingdom Come armor! As is so often the case, she wore the wings and helmet for only a fraction (read more...)
Gray Ghost (Bombshell)
One of the many things I admire about the DC Bombshells series is that the creators, artists, and editors resisted the urge to simply gender-swap the characters. The ladies of the DC Universe got the chance to shine, without merely being converted versions of the male characters. In my expansions (read more...)
Baby Doll (Bombshell)
Right about now, you might be thinking ‘What the hell, Casimir? Baby Doll as a Bombshell? That is not okay. You should seek counseling.” I get that. I really do. But hear me out. It’s not what you think. While I was pondering my “comic book style” Baby Doll, I (read more...)
Maxima (Bombshell)
The inspiration for a custom can come from various places. Usually it’s “I want this character on my shelf.” Sometimes it’s a case of “let’s see what can be made from this.” And that’s where Maxima started. McFarlane’s DC Multiverse line has re-written the rules for DC figures. The line (read more...)
