    Wonka

    Hey everyone, this guy has been the object of my obsession for the past few months? Honestly I don't remember how long it's been since I sculpted the head. I had wanted to offer a few of these pre-megomeet but I haven't had the time so...anywhoo.
    This is what I have used as a testing figure. It's my sculpt, a modified ctvt body, shoes and pants are also ctvt, I made the vest and jacket. So since the megomeet is right around the corner I'm adding it as my donation to the custom auction.

              I saw the title and thought, "na...could'nt be. must be the name of a hero or villain I never heard of". But it really is him, Willy Wonka! Beautiful work Ed.

                Love Wonka. Great job on the sculpt.
                It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                      That looks fantastic Ed! Did you modify an existing head? Something about the head looks a bit familiar although it nails Gene Wilder.

                          Love it!

                          In the forty years since the film was originally released, I'm absolutely amazed that no toy company has seen fit to produce a Wonka figure. I always thought that MEGO would eventually get around to doing it, but they never did.

                              He's outstanding! That sculpt does a perfect job capturing Wilder's personality.
