HOLY CRAP! Another excellent FREEZE! Wow! Is that the Fox Football Robot body? Dang that is an awesome choice! I never would have thought of that.

The Joker is an older figure correct? I'd still love to see more pics of that!

Facing him are the psychotic freak known as the Joker and a chilling new adversary, Mr. Freeze...

Les' Two-face base photo reminded me that I too made one, so I added a pic of it with the rest of my Two-face pics.

Re: Official SSF Custom Challenge III Summer 08 RESPONSE thread!

BOOYAH!!! I don't know where to start!!

DA - Your Freeze is absolutely brilliant. Great real world feel to him, yet you know EXACTLY who it is! Love the "frosting".
That Scarecrow is BAD @$$! I LOVE the coat and I'm all over anything Halloweenish and this one is tops!

Galactiboy - HOLY! I would have NEVER have thought of Thundercats customs! That's freekin awesome! Brings back memories!

Les - Your 1939 customs have ALWAYS been an inspiration to me... seeing the roster expanded is like Christmas for me! Top notch professional looking work as always! Robin has that great youthful yet cocky look, and Two-Face has such a great look to him, seems very Universal Monstersish to me...

Buttmunch - Diggin the Tw-Face so far... the eye is so mesmerizing... Love the sickly glisteny quality to his meaty half...

Can't wait to see what else is coming!!

Re: Official SSF Custom Challenge III Summer 08 RESPONSE thread!

Saintsyn!!! Damn, great pirate themed figures... love that Joker! Amazing how you were able to make him colorful, yet still dark!

And the Bats is great too... love the sculpted helm I'm assuming a Hasbro Dooku and Sidious for Ras and Joker, but who is Batman from?

Batman is a BBI Paddy Ryan figure... I liked the look he had, a lot of character. And yeah, Ras is Dooku, and Joker is Palps with a newly sculpted brow...

Re: Official SSF Custom Challenge III Summer 08 RESPONSE thread!

Yeah, really! The turnout is already awesome stuff.
I hope more of the members turn out and post some stuff. Here's hoping!
And you guys, all rule! Great so far!
And Josh, great job Mr Mod! Super posting and all! Loving it!

BTW, Syn, that C Lee pirate is sublime bro! As is the Harry Potter.

Glad to help. Comming from your inspired sculpts, that is a HUGE compliment! And turning CSM into Gordon is so simple - I did it afterall!

SYN!! Holy Crap on a hand grenade!!

Wow man, some truly inspired choices and awesomely executed. The pirates idea is something I never in my wildest imagination would have thought, but it works! And with your touch... Batman...The Joker.. Ras... they all feel right and true to the characters that inspired them.

The Harry Potter is amazing, and casting Michael Biehn as grown up Harry was genius.. I would probably watch that show, I'm surprised nobody has thought of that already.

And your Son of Batman and Mr Freeze customs are even more outside the box and great original figures, I'm just so floored by the amount of work you did... and the quality... that I can hardly articulate it. You are always a heavy hitter in these challenges and I always look forward to the onslaught.

And thanks Les, I wanted to do my best to Moderate this thing and make sure it was an event. And thankfully, you set a great example with the last challenge. I even just copied your rules from the last one, because they could not be improved upon.

Re: Official SSF Custom Challenge III Summer 08 RESPONSE thread!

First off let me say that it is an honor to have such a great and supportive board as this one. All of you are really outstanding artists and it is so wonderful to have such a place to dispaly our works for our peers and have everyone truly appreciate what we do... I think I speak for everyone when I say that we love doing this, and it is just a modern expression of what has been done through the centuries. This is art, plain and simple. No different from painters or sculptors past... and we truly have a great wealth of talent here. Thanks everyone!

Let's see if I can remember everything...
Pirate Batman: BBI Paddy Ryan body and head, vest from Jakks Van Helsing, coat from Zizzle Jack Sparrow, pants from a Bruce Lee figures, boots from Dragon with cuffs from a Zizzle coat. Cape from Igor, maske is fimo.

Pirate Joker: Hasbro Palpatine head on a sideshow body with Palp's hands. Ruby in ring courtesy of my wife (thank you sweetie!), coat from Zizzle Davy Jones (dyed), sash, pants, baldric, sword, dagger shirt and vest from Zizzle Will Turner. Head scarf made from fabric, boots from Sideshow.

Pirate Ras: Body by Sideshow, head from Hasbro Dooke with glued on hair and headwrap. Clothes from Zizzle Will Turner (DMC), boots from BBI with leather cuffs glued on.

Harry Potter: Hot Toys Hudson head on Sideshow body, clothes mostly from Dragon.

ComBatman: head and body from BBI, cowl from Batman Begins stuffed figure, body suit from Kroenen, boots from BBi, harnass from Takara Batman, hand from Takara Jin Roh.

Mr. Freeze: Upper body Fox Sports bot, lower body Toy Biz LOTR figure, boots from Final Fantasy figure, head from 21st Century 101 airborne figure...

I think that's everything....

Since pictures were originally taken, one of the arms, unfortunately broke off. BUT! since pictures have been taken, I offer Indiana Jones, Jim Steranko's concept.

I know what you are thinking, this isn't an original concept of our own. I was hesitant about posting it, myself, but after the praise of Les Walker, and his suggestion to do so, I couldn't resist. After all, I think Ben and I beat everybody to the punch on this one.

The Rogue Trooper, the last Genetic Infantrymen (G.I.).

Created my the Souther in the War for Nu-Earth against the Norts as a super solider. The G.I.s are immune to every know poison and can live without protective suits on the now desolate planet unlike normal solider. Betrayed by the Traitor General during the Quartz Massacre, Rogue has gone AWOL to hunt him down.

Sons Of Batman (S.O.B.), a group of teenagers (many of them ex-Mutants who left after the defeat of their leader). They have become followers of Batman, although they are too unruly and corrupt, taking severe measures to control the streets and even Batman (at one point in the story they break up a three-card Monty game with napalm). They end up following Batman for good intentions instead of bad.
