Custom Recipes:

Clayface
Matt Hagen came from one of those old The Tenth figure sets. I think I paid a grand total of 4 dollars for him. The rest is textured paint, dirt and a drybrush coat. Sounds pretty easy, but he took a million years to paint, since he never dried up. Damn clay people….

The “Batmobile”
This is as big as big gets, and it ran over two months. It started as a GI Valor vs. Venom ATV whatever, with the turret and treads coming from the knock-off 1:18 M1A1 Abrams. There were extensive mods to make the treads line up, and the turret moveable. The black canopy still lifts on its hinges, it’s just easier to take pictures with it off. The interior is full of goodies from my parts box, and the seats came from the Muppets space playset. The front seat is held in with a clothing snap, and can pop in and out nicely. The missiles came from various Mattel Batman figures, and the anti-air gun came with X2 Cyclops. The wings and Bat-head are casts from the 1:18 Batmobile. Everything else was cobbled from whatever I could find, truly too much to list or remember. God, I love this thing.

Batman
Just a clean, comic style figure for this line. He uses the best parts of Hush and Zipline, with Spidey classics legs, and punisher arms. He has 25 points of articulation, including that great ball-jointed head. The Bat-pineapples were built out of some leftover Zipline batarangs and GI joe grenades.

Batcave
This was built using the fabulous Muppets space playset. I texture painted the walls, added a console from a Star Trek boxed set, as premiered last custom-con, and added my own monitors from a Hasbro batcave.

Robin
Robin uses a Mattel Battle Board Robin head and torso, Secret Identity Spidey arms, the other Peter Parker Spidey legs, Punisher Boots and X2 Wolverine gloves. I love the clunky look of Teen Titans, so incorporated some of that here.
