What to do when MezcoToyz present you with a great Julie Newmar Catwoman figure in their new playset - but you already have one from Funko? Turn her into an custom Eartha Kitt Catwoman! Here they are with my custom Funko Lee Meriwether Catwoman (from the 1966 movie).

And with my custom Sandman figure (made from the spare Michael Rennie head that came with the Monstarz Gort/Klaatu two-pack):

Note that a few years ago I managed to make Funko Julie’s eyebrows more screen-accurate, and I really didn’t want to try to replicate that!

You may well be the creator of the very first '66 Sandman custom figure, Ian!Therin of Andor wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 3:14 pm What to do when MezcoToyz present you with a great Julie Newmar Catwoman figure in their new playset - but you already have one from Funko?

In 4" scale, perhaps. Thanks! But I did make an 8" figure some years ago, and I have seen others online (I think one person used a The Keeper/Rennie head from "Lost in Space").Ben Bentley wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 10:52 pm You may well be the creator of the very first '66 Sandman custom figure, Ian!

Ian, given the price of a 12" figure, the person who did the 12" Sandman figure had more money to blow than I do!

I guess they may have cast the head? They'd have to shave his goatee. Currently $44.95 for a Keeper, reduced from $69.95. I have certainly paid more for custom fodder.

Was in a comic shop today which had this set-- I could not believe how big the box was! I know all of you said big but I was blown away-- the shipping box must have been insane!
