"Batman Dead End" Joker, in memory of my friend Andrew...

[Cmonster]

This figure has been a long time coming. Ever since I made the Batman from my little short film, people have been asking me if I was going to make the Joker. So many have said that Andrew Koenig's portrayal of the Joker captured the true look and essence of the character, and I'd have to agree. To be honest, I've always wanted to make this figure, but not until last year when Andrew unfortunately took his own life, did I make a concrete decision to move forward with the project, in his honor.

The straight jacket and pants are by Dave Lepage and the absolutely stunning card was done as a special favor by my old friend Chad Gordy, who also did the card for the Batman. I'm so proud of everyone who contributed to this figure and I'm sure that when I present it to Walter Koenig, that he and the family will appreciate it. :heart:

Most of these will be gifts for people involved in the film and like I said above, one will be presented to his family as well. There are a limited amount for the members here, if any are interested. Please PM me for details.

Thanks,

SC

OMG it looks amazing...exceeded all my expectations.
Andrew would be proud.

Those eyes..those eyes...very cool.
It was a sincere pleasure to build that card for ya.

[Toy Talk]

Now you know I want one. Please PM me with the details please.

[toys2cool]

holy crap bro!! he's amazing and perfect!! I have a Bats so i'm definitely interested :drool:

[boynightwing]

I really liked his Joker as well. It had a Jim Lee feel to it in how he looked. Very scary. I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us.

I think your figure really captures the likeness and I think you really honor his memory with the whole project.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Sandy that is amazing. the sculpt is just scary. that might be the best thing I have seen you sculpt yet...and I love your apes line

[piecemaker]

Outstanding sculpt and paints! That figure really is Amazing!

[C.H.O.A.M.]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend... but that is the creepiest thing I've ever seen!
If they ever make a horror movie Batman (which sounds awesome, actually) that would be the perfect looking Joker!
I wouldn't want that on my shelf looking at me.:terror:

[cactus725]

DUDE that is GREAT!!!!!!!!

[megowgsh]

simply awesome

[rche]

crazy cool and a wonderful tribute.
rip andrew

[Megospidey]

Phenomenal head sculpt - looks just like him. I hope you decide to offer the heads alone for sale.

[The Kryptonite Kid]

Jaw droppingly beautiful Sandy :juggleyes_y: You really captured the look and feel of Mr. Koenig's brilliant portrayal of The Joker. Mr. Koenig's passing was a true tragedy, but his spirit will live on through his body of work. Good for a laugh, a tear, or a maniacally menacing scare, He could do it all. R.I.P. Andrew...

-At the time of his passing I spoke a bit about Mr. Koenig on my podcast (The Fan Film Podcast) You can listen to it here http://www.fanfilmfollies.com/podcast/fan-film-podcast-62

[Hulk]

A wonderful tribute Sandy.

[thunderbolt]

great work on the headsculpt and paints

[lepage]

Wow that came out fantastic!

[jimsmegos]

I wish there was a better word for such an incredible piece but until that word is developed, I offer a simple but heartfelt "Bravo."

[The Bat]

Wow....simply AMAZING!:yes:

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Stunning.

May Andrew RIP.

[kingdom warrior]

Beautiful way to Honor a friend.......Stunning Masterpiece and one of the best Jokers put on film.

[alex]

I like it, very welldone, I actually saw this on ebay about a hour ago, and immediately thought this must be one of yours.

[chalwa]

Thanks for sharing this.
I am sorry to hear about your friend.
I actually championed his version over the more popular one.
It seemed more like what I had thought the Joker would actually be:
in your face and scary as hell!
I didn't realize he had passed and I feel sadder for knowing.

[megojim]

BRAVO!!!!
nicely done a well deserved tribute!

[palitoy]

It's a beautifully done piece and has a wonderful sentiment.

[Meule]

The sculpt and paint job are frigging amazing. Great tribute, Sandy

[brent 1701]

[Megospidey]

There aren't a million customs with his Batman head floating around :wink_y::silly:

I'm sure Sandy WISHED there were, because that would have made him a very wealthy man.

Sandy, please don't take this the wrong way. The figure looks fantastic and I know it is coming out of love and respect for your friend. But Andrew Koenig was severely depressed and took his own life. Your depiction of him, in a straight jacket covered in blood... I just wonder how his family would react to that. Just something to be extra sensitive to...

[yokaijohn]

Very well done,Sandy.Great tribute to your friend.

naw I don't think so, it was one of those roles that everyone loved him in..I think they'd love it

[Brazoo]

Just an incredible sculpt, an amazing custom and a incredible tribute.

I take my hat off to you sir! Just fantastic!

[vulcan2074]

That custom is out of this world. :beaming1:

[Hector]

Sprytel might have a valid point.

You and I get excited by this...but we can't predict how his parents would feel about it...you just can't go out on a limb and say they might love it...we don't know that.

It is an awesome figure...but...I dunno...

[fallensaviour]

Amazing figure!!!
Those paints are simply stunning.

[durgos]

Fantastic work as always, Sandy.

[salb71]

Great figure, eyes are crazy! Boner would be proud.

[thunderbolt]

So, is your profit from this going to his memory? Its a good figure and all.

[Captain]

I dont know about this...It has WRONG written all over it.

Just my two cents

[Chris]

It's your best figure yet.

Coincidentally, I watched Batman Deadend with Richard "Apollo" Hatch at the Chiller show in NJ. After the short Hatch screamed: "Why doesn't the studio hire this guy to direct!?!"

Then you'll love this.

Thats cool that Richard said that and I agree ,But he also knows in Hollywood its not what you do is who you know!His Battlestar Galactica The Second Coming short Trailer in 1999 was brilliant but went nowhere a perfect example

[Goblin19]

Wow, that is amazing.

[LAST SON OF KRYPTON]

Now, that is the way you make a figure based on the movie!
:clap:
Another awesome work from a master customizer.
Though sorry to hear what happened to your friend Andrew Koenig.

[MIB41]

What an awesome custom. I'm sure he's looking down with a smile on his face Sandy. You did him proud!

[logan12_3]

Sandy is the bombnizzle!!!! Whatever that word means, I just made it up but he really is awesome!!!! I just got my DE Joker today and I just have two words..............Freakin' awesome!!!!! Is this thing live, can I say freakin'? Thank you so much Sandy and keep em' comin!!!!
