Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[saintsyn]

I guess it is some dangerous stuff...our getting together...

And Reinhardt, I too look forward to what I will be posting next, new work wise that is!

Until then, one more weekend acheivement to post before getting back to it...

Here is my repainted Hot Toys Joker.
I went with the Pencil Trick Mob Board room look, because it's been just killing me to try somewhere (I think it's my favorite scene in the movie, and my favorite Joker look since seeing it ), until I can get to painting it on my heads for the guys, so here is MY Hot Toys repainted one.
(Plus it helps me to validate keeping the HT as well, as I was kinda sour on it when I first got it until I did something to it...sorry HT enthusiasts...but I'm all better now...I promise... )

With My head and figure custom

The two together in full body (Note much darker coat on my HT)

AND....
What good would all this be without a comparison and review vid?!?!?

FML and HT JOKER figure review video

Note that I used a yellower, flourscent setting in my vid camera, so you could see the purples in both a bit better, as they looked more blue in normal lighting. Not the best overall lighting for a vid, but better to see these particular color schemes more accurately.
The HT still looks mighty black coated in regular light to me though....


Look for my painted Jokers soon, and you will see the Pencil trick makeup scheme on my head. I may even switch mine out...or have a backup...or something...I really like that look a lot.


Oh, and look for Maulfan's AMAZING photography of my Custom Joker soon! Cool stuff coming!

HOLY TESTICLE TUESDAY!! That looks AWESOME. I have to ask... did you fill in any of the creases or is it all just paint work? At Any rate, STELLAR job!!

 

[Reinhardt]

awesome work Les!!!!!!

 

[Lord Vicious]

Damn Les, that looks great!

NO FILLING! I am glad you asked that. Nope. THAT is the unaltered HT head. I didn't have the time or inclination to alter it anyway. Just wanted to see it repainted. The brow is still furrowed but is not as strong with straight on lighting. Works ok for me. I was pretty down on it after a month or so of my own one. But I like it now. Thanks buddy.
YOU need to repaint one! That will be awesome with your gothic aesthetic in play!

Anyway, back to work. Thanks all.

 

[Kuato]

Wowsa! That looks great, Looks like that scene makeup is the way to go on that sculpt. Awesome work Les!

 

[great1]

Amazing work Les, your repaint looks just like Ledger Joker whereas the HT factory paint only looks like Joker if that makes sense.

 

[Buttmunch]

Wow Les! Your Hot Toys Joker is PERFECT now! I can totally see Ledger in there now. It just really needed a good repaint to show it. And how you have that Hot Toys figure painted is EXACTLY how I was trying to say I wanted your head to be painted for me (even the eyes!). Perfect! You continue to leave me speachless!

 

[RJMacReady16]

I hate it for Hot Toys...but Les' custom still has it beat all to hell and back.

Too late to order one of those?

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's fairly insane! Can't even tell it's HT anymore, which is a good thing. Looks dead-on, Les!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Nice! Having seen it in person, guys... these pics do not do it justice. It's really a homerun.

 

[galactiboy]

Damn Les, you made me a believer on that one. I could never see Ledger in the HT sculpt... not even a hint.

But, you nailed that one. Really goes to show how important the painters of the world are

 

[MaulFan]

Having seen the FLM original in person and knowing how much pics don't do it justic, I can only imagine the HT repaint in person .

Oh, I'm sure once you got that box and opened it up... your jaw probably fell to the floor.. I know mine did when we got the box this weekend. There was drool.

It was mind boggling that's for sure, was prepared for it to be more than my expectation, but how and all that I wasn't sure what to expect, mostly it was the realism. The colors and quality definitely look more "real-person" in hand, certainly helped my work with him.

I'm glad the week rounded out well for all of us. I finally got to check out 2 of Les' most involving figures in person and give them my touch, and I was able to do it quick enough to turn it around and get them back in time for your visit, I wanted you to be able to see Joker, I know you've seen Vader before.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Well, I most certainly do appreciate what you did man.. it was very cool and made the trip even better.

And you can bet that soon, I will be sending you a whole mess of stuff to take shots of as well.

 

[MaulFan]

And you can bet that soon, I will be sending you a whole mess of stuff to take shots of as well.

Man, considering how Dark I got with Les' Joker, which isn't inherently dark looking, you and me collaborating will truly unleash Hell

And as for Les and I collaborating, as the song goes, "we've only just begun".

 

[die]

That's a cool repaint of that HT head, Les! Makes me like it a little bit more now. I like the video as well, that was cool to see the side-by-side comparison.

This was the most awesome response to your video:

AM YOU SELLING ONE

You know your work is good when you reduce people to such primal responses.

I ordered some of the HT clothes for my custom Joker & I was pretty unimpressed with the trenchcoat, I like the DCD one much better. Not only is the HT trench too dark, I don't like the weight or feel of it. It's also really tight on the Dragon body I used. I love the shirt though.

Man! That's the chit Les. Awesome paint work!

Just wanted to share with the world the awesomeness of Les' custom Jackal from 13 Ghosts, that he bestowed upon me during our last visit. Freaky custom, really perfect for my collection. I love it.

 

[Sachiel]

I was waiting to see what you do to the HT Joker. You sure did bring the likeness out.
