            Thank you kind gentlemen. Thank you. Some carefully-cut EZ-Eyes decals applied and some clear coat over them, and the figure really comes alive!

                  In preparation for an upcoming exhibit of my custom 9Art LEGENDS OF GOTHAM CITY action figures and displays, I decided to revisit one or two things that have always naggingly left me dissatisfied.

                  One such area was my original head sculpt development for Oswald The Penguin Cobblepot (developed from a radically resculpted Dukes of Hazzard Boss Hogg head sculpt.). When I last tried to upgrade my Penguin Head sculpt, I thought that by making the eyebrows stronger that he would look more evil.

                  But despite my efforts, I ultimately felt that my finished custom figure STILL had a decidedly jolly appearance that did not fit in with my vision of The Penguin as a supremely VICIOUS gangster.

                  I wanted a face that LOOKED as if The Penguin were in the middle of his signature evil squawking... “hwaaak, hwaaak, hwaaak!!”

                  A squinty-eyed, teeth-clenched, vicious grimace.

                  Also... based on a casting wish dream I have always had for The Penguin, I decided I wanted to see my custom figure based loosely on the likeness of legendary actor JOE PESCI.

                  So...

                  With all of this in mind, I have now developed THIS... charming Little fellow... as my new (and final) Oswald The Penguin Cobblepot...

                    Beautiful sculpt though.

                        That's better.

                        Very mean and vicious looking.

                              Now I'm eager to see darklord1967's *Catwoman*!
                              The head sculpt I?ve developed for CATWOMAN is almost complete now. In another 3 or 4 days she will be ready for final molding and casting along with the custom legs I developed for my (Zica Yvonne based) 9Art ?Athletic Female? body. I placed the developing head sculpt on the 9Art female body to check on the overall


                              Love this new facesculpt...good actor's likeness. Reminds me of the 'Hangry' Joe commercial for Snickers.

                                Neat, looks more than a little like Joe Pesci. He'd make for a great Penguin.
