The whole outfit is actually from DC Direct. It's on a True Type body. Pants are a tad long, but it looks decent enough and saves me having to but a whole other outfit just for this custom...

And great job on Indy too, he really looks great.... probably my favorite human paint up by you.

it looks awesome , brilliant photography without even realising ! 
Your Ledger Joker bash is crazy awesome! Great job!
Had someone on another board ask how I did the hair for this one and I pulled together this little mini-tutorial for them. Thought I would post it here too if anyone was interested....
As promised here are the steps I used in hairing a head. Please forgive the quality of some of the photos... it was hard to photgraph myself doing something that usually requires two hands!
First the tools:
Scissors, Xacto knife, head to hair, glue and glue accelerator.
These are the glues and accelerator that I sue which can be found at most hobby stores and craft stores like Hobby Lobby. You can also look for Zap-A-Gap and Bondi for glue and Zip Kicker for accelerator. The accelerator if you've not used it before is great for getting the glue to set within seconds, but be EXTREMELY carreful using it as you can glue yourself together with it easily!!
For the Joker head, I cut about an inch and a quarter length of twine:
I then ran most of the length of twine between my thumbnail and fore fingernail until it began fraying. Be sure to leave a small bit at one end unfrayed to act as an anchor point.
As you are unfraying the twine you will begin to see how it is wrapped around itself and you can begin pulling these strands away from each other into singular threads. Don't worry if some if it comes loose.
Next, place a dab of glue towrd the anchor point at the area where the twine is just starting to fray. Add some accelerator to the head and place the anchor point on the head until it dries. Be sure to leave a little over hang on the anchor point:
Using your Xacto knife, carefully cut the anchor point off at an angle. Cut on the other side of the glue or you'll just end up cutting the hair off of the head. Cut at an angle so that it looks like the twine is emergin from a single point on the head like a root:
Now you can continue fraying the hair to you liking:
The best part about the twine is that it is ALMOST poseable, you can style it with a little patience:
Now the hard part, repeat this over and over and over until the head is full! Keep the root points close together and you should be set. Also, if using a figure that already has hair, try following the direction of the sculpted hair and it will help you blend in the twine hair more easily.
After I had the hair in place, I drecnhed the hair with water and went over it slowly with light coats of green watercolor. I went over it several times until I got the color green I desired.
I hope this helps out anyone who wants to try this! I tried being as thorough as I could. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!!

GEAUX SAINTS!
I love your Joker! That great real hair is awesome. Someday I'll get a HT Heath Ledger Joker and give it a try.
Here is a figure I put together for OSW and GoHero's "Design a Futuristic Space Villian" contest. The initial voting is over, so I thought I would share it here now. He is Emperor Kharlov of the Araculan Empire. I wanted to go vintage, grade b retro with him...

Dude, really love this figure. I was in the contest as well, but I voted for yours (didn't realize I could cast 3 votes ). I think out of all of the entries; you captured the idea more than anyone else.
Glad to see you ended in the top 3, fingers crossed on you winning
