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!

So, how did you make them? The head sculpts are spot on! Did you use sculpy or ??? Can you detail the process?

I find a base figure & then sculpt them to look like the character using milliput.

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.

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. :(

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.

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,
Jack
