Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
Awesome work!
I want all those characters.
For Surfing Joker, are they just going to release him into existing cases of figures, or will he be part of a new wave of characters? That's the one thing I'm stuck on. I really hope the toy company doesn't miss the opportunity to produce more villain characters on a show that was so dependent on the villain of the week.
I'd still want:
King Tut
Egghead
Mad Hatter
Mr. Freeze
Eartha Kitt Catwoman
That's my minimum!

Here are all of the Custom 6 Inch Figures I have made to date. I am working on more but this is what I have completed as of now. Let me know what you all think! Hope you like them!
Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
So, how did you make them? The head sculpts are spot on! Did you use sculpy or ??? Can you detail the process?

Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
I am making eartha kitt catwoman next. Then I am making an alternate Otto Preminger head for the Mr freeze figure I already made, since they essentially had the same costume, instead of making a whole new figure I decided it would be easier just to make the heads interchangeable with the same body.BatDavidEvanSmith wrote:Awesome work!

Alfred is outstanding! Well done.

Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
Thanks for the reply! Milliput...I had to look that up. Seems to be a British product but is available here in the U.S. at stores such as Hobby Lobby, Michael's and the like. I thought you used Sculpy or Super Sculpy, but after going to the Milliput website I can see why you use it instead. No baking required. Again, you're very talented! I have tried to sculpt a few times and don't seem to have the knack.weirdkorey wrote:Thanks!AndyFish wrote:Love em!

Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
I'm glad you like them! As far as sculpting goes I have been sculpting less than a year. It does take some time to get the hang of it. If you try sculpting again I suggest watching youtube videos about sculpting with milliput. There are several very good videos that I learned a lot from watching. It just takes some patience & persistance. I have finally gotten to the point where I feel pretty comfortable doing it & I can sculpt fairly quickly now.Batguitarist wrote: Thanks for the reply!

Re: Custom 6 Inch Batman 66 Figures
Hello to all,
I'm new here and I have to say for only sculpting less then a year - your work is fantastic!!!
In fact you've inspired me to give this "kit-bash" idea a try. Now I know I'll never end up with anything even near this Cool. But I've got to try and I'm hoping you'll be open to helping out with advice/guidance etc???
I read where you indicated some of the base models you started with and I've sourced some of them.
The Marvel legends Professor X for instance -- But after looking over these figures with your pic's and others from ebay. I might have got the wrong one?? Being new to all this, I'm sure to make mistakes, but it seems there is a difference between some the figures - meaning some have articulate fingers and some do not. Also I'm trying to find the "right" Magneto figure - could you please let me know which specific model it was???
Thank you up front for your time and reply!
Merry Christmas,
