For J1H. One of my favorite characters, and such an easy recipe. Another one Mattel missed out on.

Thanks An-Gel. Some of these are a few months old, but I'd never posted them here. But the last couple of posts are all recent, and I had fun doing them.

For those who haven't yet figured it out, there are two things I really REALLY love as far as the Timm-verse goes. First of course is doing the All-Star Squadron / JSA figures in this scale. But the OTHER is redoing the Batman Villains. There's just something so very cool about them. I genuinely believe that's why the Batman movies have been so successful and why the Superman movies haven't. So every time someone puts together a Bat-villain, it's pretty much a guarantee I'm going to get a copy if at all humanly possible lol. Thanks to Stew for the cast parts, here's my version of the Ventriloquist & Scarface. I wanted them to be as show accurate as possible, and I like to think I managed it.

Scarface was 100% cast courtesy of Stew. Ventriloquist was a Stew headcast, small suited body and a sculpted on tie. I cut and repositioned the arm more to the angle I liked and voila. Hope you enjoy.

Ah how time flies. Here's some of my latest work.

The Wonder Twins were done for one of the STRIPE contest winners from the Save the JLU Facebook page. When I contacted him (whitemagus here at AFI), he asked if I would consider doing two. I was intrigued since I'd never done them, and since I could do them pretty much at the same time I agreed. I hope he'll be pleased with the results, and I hope you enjoy them as well. He's on his own for Gleek though lol...

This was done as part of a commission group. The second is done but I didn't get photos. I will definitely be doing this guy for my own collection though. He's been on my wishlist for a long time.

Here's my Will Payton Starman. Full credit to bottleimp for this one. Standard male medium buck and a STAS Aquaman headcast from Stew. Only sad thing is, I'll have to do another one as this was a commission piece. And even worse, it's the only Starman I haven't done yet lol.

And a redo of my Captain Comet.

37Customs gets credit for this one. I had wanted to redo Stargirl for a long time, but didn't quite think I could do it as Enzo and Casimir had done. Then he came up with this easy to copy recipe, and I was sold. While I was at it, I had to do Stripesy. I'd wanted to do him since they made the head swappable on STRIPE.

Solovar

Solovar was started by my son, but as he's completely lost interest in making them, I finished him up. Such an easy repaint - Mattel really missed the boat on this one considering they already had the mold.

And another addition to my JSA/Infinity group.

Couple of Batman villains.

First up, courtesy of the FANTASTIC Casimir sculpt brought to me by Stew, here's Clayface.

Image

I've had this forever, but never really appreciated just how good it looks until it was done. Well done Casimir, and thank you for sharing.

Blight was one of those, hmm I have spare parts what can I do with them customs lol. I had cut off the head and hands of a Future Bruce Wayne, and was trying to figure out what to do with the body. Then I realized I had gotten a lot off ebay years ago that had the old McDonalds Blight in it. Dug around, added a pair of green Amazo hands, voila. Small repaint on the face and Blight was born. :D
