    Also, regarding that particular character, he never moved much in the film. LOL. He just kinda walked around really slowly. Pretty much...

    ^^ You did capture the look..most definitely. And pose-ability is a personal taste IMO. Sometimes you have to lose it to achieve the look you want.

    Actually, he was sort of poseable before he got painted. Once the paint and matte finish were applied, the whole figure got kind of hard and didn't move very well. Poseability was never something I was good at, even back when I sculpted a lot of action figures. As a matter of fact, after a while, most of the companies I worked for would just have me sculpt the figures without joints and then just have them done in China during production.

    I always thought joints were really clunky and most action figures had too many of them, but I understand why they're there. Without them, it's a statue and not a toy. I think it's really cool that guys like Farley can make their own bodies and have them be super poseable. It would be kind of hard to make the Mummy the way I made him and also have him be really poseable. I was more into capturing the look and feel of this particular figure.

    Thanks, Todd. Most customizers put their logo on their cards/boxes. I know Farley and BK do it. So does Derek. The cards are always collaborations with the very talented graphic artists here in the forum. I'll contribute designs, ideas or a sketch here and there, but I don't really do graphics or make clothes. Sometimes there are 1or 2 more people involved in bringing the Cmonster customs to life. I'm fortunate to know some pretty talented folks that do great stuff and are such a pleasure to work with!

    First off, that sculpt and the figure, as a whole, are right on the "Mummy"!!! I could go on and on, but I wouldn't say anything that hasn't been said nor would I say it near as well as any of my fellow posters.

    I'll focus my comments on the card. It is beautiful, amazing,...well, you really did right, Amigo!!!

    AND...I REALLY dig your CMonster Logo at the bottom. Clever!!!

    You nailed him. That sculpt is dead on. What is the poseability like? It's hard to tell whether or not the arms and legs move, not that it really matters I guess.

    He looks great Sandy. Nice job.
