custom batman figures

[Mollins]

here's a photo of my riddler WIP, one with flash and one without

The suit needs some major futzing to get it right, not the same head as I'll be using, but I will be using the bowler, shoes are awaiting a repaint.
Need to get a tie and some gloved hands (need a pointing gloved hand, so difficult to find!)
Also thinking of replacing the shirt with a better quality one, thoughts so far?

Damn, Mollins that suit looks great! Which one did you end up using?

 

[Mollins]

I bought this:

from store-rooms, and dyed it green using dylon emerald green multi purpose dye.

The odd thing is, the colour of the suit in person is almost identical to my boyfriends riddler costume

and thanks

Yeah Mollins, that Riddler is looking great! I know Custom Workz made a Jim Carry Riddler that included a head, spandex suit, and a cane. I'm not sure if he sells the cane seperately, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. It looked great and certainly isn't just Carry specific. Riddler's cane has always been an important part of the character to me at least.

And you are looking for a pointing gloved hand. Not a pistol trigger one? Would possibly warping and bending a pistol hand work? Just straighten the tigger finger perhaps?

Already looking great man! Can't wait to see the final product!
The green you chose for the suit is really nice! Keep up the good work buddy!

 

[Mollins]

Thanks guys =]

Buttmunch, I'm gonna be making a custom cane, using one I bought as a base for it, should (hopefully) look good.

I may have to use a trigger finger hand and just modify it, since I've not been able to see a pointing gloved hand anywhere

 

[lerath666]

easy way to turn a trigger hand into a pointy hand is to take a pin vice, and drill a hole into the finger, slowly straightening as you go, then simply insert a cut down paperclip into the hole. instant pointy hand.

Mollins !!! That looks fantastic ! Great work ! Love the green !

LOL he gets shorter when he wears the bat suit!
anyways that looks really nice, I wish you could make me a Bruce with a shorter neck

Bruce is standing straight up. Batman isn't. But regardless, Mattel made BB and TDK Batman's a different height. So this is a minor issue for me.

I totally agree the thug's neck is sorta obnoxious. My Interrogation Room Joker also suffers long-neck-syndrome since it was made to have that purple jacket on him. I'm not gonna dare cut these necks apart though because I don't know if I could put it back on with articulation intact.

DC Direct Joker Repaint

sorry for the bad lighting in the first pic

 

[Platty]

Awesome last pic, great re-paint mate

 

[agonistes86]

In the second pic the white looks a bit too glossy, but overall it's a definite improvement. I really like the eyes, they are applied very clean, but most importantly are the right scale and position to make him look evil and demonic. The lips also look a lot better than before, here the gloss really helps. I still can't really see Ledger, but that's more the sculpt's fault than the paint (and I know this is supposed to be a "realscan" or something similar, but I still think HT's BR sculpt looks more accurate).

Thanks guys

With the Movie Masters line seemingly dying, I was motivated to give a second shot at a Bank Robber Joker.

From left to right:

My first ever attempt at sculpting. This one was done last November but I didn't try to do it again after hearing Mattel was doing one. The body turned out pretty poorly as well as the shirt pattern is way too intricate for an amateur like me to do properly.

Next is my second ever attempt at sculpting. I just did this one today. I hope you all agree it's way better than my first attempt. Still not perfect but I'm actually quite content with it. The finer details aren't really visible in this photo but I put a lot of work into the raised and lowered surfaces of the mask. The paint job really looks sloppy. I'm gonna have to invest in a finer brush and redo it all.

Last is my second repainted Joker head. I'm just going to put that back on the body he came with. I was never happy with the factory paint job and have been meaning to redo it. Much easier to do than my Interrogation Room Joker I posted previously.

"Let's not BLOW things out of proportion..."

My favorite (most difficult) custom Movie Master to date. I put a lot of effort into this figure but I really think it paid off.

The hair is resculpted and repainted. The eye and lip makeup is redone. The inner jacket is a spare jacket I had cut down to fit. I repainted the lining of the outer jacket. The grenades were built from scratch using green stuff and staples. The string is thread tied to each pin of the grenade and to Joker's thumb. I also had to cut his left arm up and resculpt his elbow to allow him to hold his coat open.

I'm working on the body for my Bank Robber Joker (see head in previous post) and some accessories for both him and my Interrogation Room Joker. I'm not far enough along in those endeavors to share pictures yet.
