    The Bronze Tiger

    Finally!

    I've been wanting to do this figure since I began in this hobby two years ago. I was always intimidated by the thought of how to do this. This is a figure that's been a while in the making. It took me a long time to develop the skills and knowledge of materials to do this custom justice.

    Bronze Tiger is in the top five of all martial artists in the DCU, a list that includes Batman, Karate Kid and Deathstroke. He has beaten Batman in single combat too. He's always been one of my favorite characters and he's never been used properly. He's a potential solo book star if he gets a shot.

    The head is all my sculpt from scratch. I searched for a year for a perfect sized head to cut off a tiger toy and use to no avail. So I decided to do my own, for better or worse.








    I'm ultra poseable!

    WOW!
    Great stuff. Is that a wrestler body under there, or do you make your own bodies?

              Excellent job, my friend. He really came out nice. Even better that you did the whole head yourself. Well done.

                    Very nice. I followed the Checkmate series years ago when it was first released and liked the storyline. Maybe I'll check it out again.
                    It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      Perfection!! I would darken the cute little pink nose up a bit but other then that it is pretty dang good and gives me an idea how to create that guy. I was gonna do it with his look in the Suicide Squad after he ditched the mask but I like your sculpt!!!

                          He's gorgeous!

                          Is he a hero or a villain?

                          If he beat Batman in single combat then he'd have to be a villain, but not necessarily.

                          Maybe you could do a sculpt of Thun the Lion Man from the Flash Gordon cartoon series.
