I was thrilled when I learned McFarlane was releasing a Max Shreck figure. Less so when I saw Max was wearing a suit and coat combination he never wore in the films. Still, I guess it’s better than nothing.
I commissioned ArcLightCustoms to help me created a double-breasted suit piece that could be used over a McFarlane Joker body, in the same method he used to create an Alfred kit. Max uses this 3D-printed jacket over a criminal Joker body. The cape is from a NECA Dracula figure. (The Christopher Lee version.)
To make the turban, I scoured the internet until I found a free file that was halfway close to the one used on screen. I digitally added the jewel/medallion thing in front from scratch. The feathers were also free files found online. It’s not screen accurate, but certainly suggestive of the Max’s turban.
Created February 2026
Easy: A simple parts swap. Little if any paint.
Basic: Some modified parts. Mostly a new paint job.
Skilled: Lots of new and modified parts. “Frankensteining” often involved.
Advanced: All of the above, plus a great deal of original sculpting.
