Just saw your Joker bank robbery mask in Josh's thread. Holy crap, man! Great job!
Just got back from SDCC and this outfit was in my mail box!
Josh's head, Les' paint-up. Temp Sideshow body, so it should fit slimer/smaller bodies just fine!
What:
"Until then my DA/Les combo head will make an excellent placeholder"
Placeholder? Never thought I woul dhear that.
Kuato painted an amazing makeup-less Joker for an Arkham look. I immediately loved the results and had to make one for myself as well. I was lucky enough to get Monkey Depot's last Orange Jumpsuit, so now I'm set. I'm working on a shank for him, but as soon as Kuato's head arrives, he'll be ready.
Until then my DA/Les combo head will make an excellent stand in until the make-up free head arrives.
This is really one of those outfits that will need some heavy futzing/water treatment since the Joker looks twice as big as he really is. One of the downsizes of a one-size-fits-all outfit.
How do you do a water treatment? ... really sorry if thats a dumb question.
To be honest, I personally have never done it. But basically, you get the outfit wet while on the figure and 'sculpt' the outfit to lay down better and look more realisitc before it dries. One dried, it ends up looking better. I'm considering doing it on this figure just because the jumpsuit is so big (again one-size-fits all) that it makes the Joker's body look really big, and therefore his head small in some shots.
Dave from Rebelscum is the one who really perfected/introduced the technique. But be careful, I've heard some outfits' colors will run, such as the Dead figures.
