    Doctor Skull---the Venomous Man!

    The man who would become Dr. Skull began as a UN weapons inspector, doublecrossed by a corrupt government official and left to die in a biological weapons bunker, he somehow absorbed the properties of the deadliest poisons, gasses and toxins. Driven mad by the poisons and able to produce these venoms from his own body he wages war against the world. Not to rule it. Not to destroy it, but simply to make it suffer.



    This custom was pretty much just an excuse to use a Pez dispenser head on a custom. I don't know if he was actually (the Pez) called "Dr. Skull" per se, but I heard that somewhere and it kind of stuck with me. I gave him a black cape because his high collar (which I think makes you a "doctor" automatically) is black. His costume is purple because the Pez stem was purple.



    I am especially proud of the little skull stickers on the backs of his gloves.



    These pictures were shot in this little cinder block amphitheater I built in my side yard. I don't think it was one of my better sets, but i was shooting for "industrial bunker chic"

    thanks for looking and special thanks for the folks who leave comments. I hope I reciprocate and comment on your work too.

    Sweet job! This must be the week to pop out customs!!


    I love that Skull Pez head!!!!

    I have made Atomic Skull, Ghost Rider, Deadman and a bunch of guys from that design. I can usually find a bundle of those Pez skull heads at consignment stores all over. They are a popular item.

    Somebody should cast that skull head and sell it. It rules!

    Taskmaster is the next one I do with that Skull head.

          Great custom and great story. I like the design of his shorts and the skull stickers on his gloves are way cool. You should give him a belt with a skull buckle
