Cheers for the info on the babe ruth figure, thought so
I have a yankees uniform that might work but will try and pick up a babe for all the other accesories.
Love that buffy and wasn't even that keen on the show, looks stunning.
Alfred is nice and grusome with his bloody medical kit, cool
Dead end joker is very good also.
At first glance I was like "meh" but thats how he looked in the short, so congrats there.
Nice work on the eyes and teeth and runny makeup.
What body are you using on him, has he got rubber legs, or did you sculpt over the ankle joint?
Want something similar for my daniel larusoe karate kid.

Re: X's Customs & Original Sculpts - The Dark Knight Returns

Long time coming this one, but he's finally done. For now.

The body is heavily modified/resculpted MA body. Suit, gloves, boots are from the first DCD Batman. Headsculpt by Logan25. Everything else is scratchmade. Tried a couple different ideas for the emblem, but in the end I decided just to paint it on for a silk screened look.

Thanks, Sparks. Joker is on a modified SS body. The feet are from one the various offbrand 1/6 companies. Art Figure or one of those. I used a styrne tube to connect them to the leg and sculpted over everything for a seemless bare leg.

Looks awesome Xander, funny cause you send me one of your batarang and I just drilled some holes in to the fist last weekend to put a rope in there!

Thanks, Seb! I think that'll make him a little more interesting on the shelf. The Bat can be hard to accessorize.

Always good to see you in here, Dr. Banner. That was pretty cool. I hadn't seen that interview before. Miller had some hair!

Effective looks natural.
Might try this, but limits the posability.
Bats looks mean

It does limit what he can do in sterms of different stances. I can definitely see where that would be an issue with the Karate Kid.

Finished Alfred's cane the other day. Nothing too special, but it completes the figure.
