      Lol - I didn't even finish looking through everything before making my comment. That is a work of art to certainly be admired, my friend.

          **UPDATE**

          As i have been tinkering with these custom figures in preparation for unveiling them at a sprawlng display at MEGO MEET this year, i thought id give a sneak peek at the re-sculpt I recently performed of Oswald (The Penguin) Cobblepot's head. The goal was to make him far more ornery with a more bushy, furrowed brow and to move his eye brows away from the cartoony approach i took the first time.

          I also contoured the removable top hat to give it a much more classic shape, and a better proportioned fit upon his head.

            Wonderful tweaking, I love the more accurate top-hat, it adds a lot. I was a big fan of the original post, but I'm looking forward to the update.

              What happened to the thread on building a better female body? That hasn't been updated in YEARS!

                      Beautify done, nice eye catching clothing and nice touch on the all white eyes, makes him look more sinister, love the cigarette and umbrella too, great job.

                        Exactly the way the Penguin should look.

                          Thanks a ton tjacwave50, and mikeoz! I actually DID have a lot of fun making the snazzy duds and both of those umbrellas for this little guy!

                          Actually, the white eyes (and missing monocle) are not intentional. These photos were taken at last month's MEGO MEET. I ran out of time and could not finish the figures completely before I had to place them on display! Consequently, I was unable to paint the pupils on any of the characters.

                          But the eyes WILL DEFINITELY be painted in.
