Excellent! One year, my elves had a 60s Batfight with the Terrific Trio.

BAT Molly by Ian McLean, on Flickr

The Riddler's moll, Molly, with her Robin mask, was unable to fool Batman, who had noticed the flaws left on the life-cast by the straws in Robin's nostrils. Molly is customized from a "Married with Children" Kelly Bundy figure and a Teen Titans' Robin outfit.

My "First Appearance" Poison Ivy has arrived to menace Batman. She brought Captain Boomerang with her!
I think, IIRC, it's a reuse of the Daisy Duke head? The hair is quite impressive and didn't require any rescuing.

I love how she resembles Ann-Margret, often suggested by fans as the ideal actress to have played Poison Ivy, had the character been included in the 60s "Batman" series.

Hey there, Ian
I KNEW there was something I was meaning to ask You!!!: How and/or where did You get "Molly's" 'Robin' mask?
Did You sculpt it Your self, or did You cast it from another piece? Either way, it would be a big help to other figure customizers


Adios, for now!,

The most recent wave of "Teen Titans" figures (Hawk, Dove, Changeling) came with a Robin, but I already had my 7" "First Appearance" Robin, with green collar altered to yellow. I stewed for a few days with this extra Robin - and then realized I could create the Revealed Molly. I dressed her, slightly adjusted the domino mask and then sliced the face off the "Teen Titans" Robin for her to hold, similarly to how I created the O'Hara mask for my False Face.

Thanks, "Ol' Chum"
Being on a limited budget, I fear that my "1st Appearance" , Green Cape Robin will be my only one, although the "Teen Titans" version does look pretty decent.
Another thought on making copies of faces that might be a little less destructive, is for one to coat the face to be copied with something like,......plain K-Y Jelly. Place a thing coat of K-Y over the face, uild a small box around the head. Pour Plaster of Paris in the box around the head. Let dry, remove the plaster, clean up the face and pitch the box and then start layering the negative face mould w/ rubber until One gets the thickness One needs for the mask. Paint the mask , as sure as one can be, One has a mask. What do You think Ian?
Cheers.

Well, I had no other use for the spare Robin head (other than selling it), so slicing it off worked for me. Ditto the O'Hara. I bought the spare to get the face, police uniform and hat, so not much to waste slicing off the face - and no painting and colour-matching required. False Face and Molly were probably my fastest/easiest customs ever!

It's a terrific job that You've been doing, Ian, no matter how You....."slice it" (Groan!)
