Taking an expirmental Classic Tv Toys body (because I didn't know how it was going to turn out and I would have been guilt ridden wrecking a Dr. Mego body.
So, I got crafty one night and I combined the lower half of the figure with a little bit of rewiring the legs through the body.
I also combined a Batman ATS figure (which was pretty big to begin with. Then I filled in the cracks with sculpty and fired the sculpty (piece buy piece).
After weeks of trial and error and sizing him up wit Batman, he finally moved and he looks pretty snazzy.
Thankfully there was plent of sculpty, brown paint and Mod Podge to keep him together and plenty weeks to dry. I think I'm going to go over him with a flat sealer, he still looks too shiny form tastes.
My Grandmother came over and thought the figure was a living piece of ****. (literally) almost like Mr. Hanky and I had to explain he was a Batman villain named Clayface.
His knees and legs move and he can sit down. That took a lot of trial and error and painting.
Matt Hagen
Cover to Detective Comics #298. Matt Hagen as Clayface II.
The second Clayface, Matt Hagen, first appeared in Detective Comics #298. A treasure hunter, Hagen finds a mysterious radioactive pool of protoplasm in a cave. Immersing himself in it, he is transformed into a malleable clay-like form which could be shaped into almost anything he desires. This is only a temporary effect, however, requiring him to return to the pool periodically in order to maintain use of his powers.
He eventually copies the pool's protoplasmic jelly by chemistry studies, although the artificial proptoplasm only allows him five hours of Clayface powers compared to the full two days of the pool's.
Hagen is ultimately killed by a shadow demon during the 12-issue limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Clayface appeared alongside the other dead villains only to be defeated by Hawk and Dove and the Teen Titans.
During the "Mud Pack" storyline, the other villains who use the name Clayface gather Hagen's remains and make him a post-mortem member of their gang.
In the Post-Crisis, it is later revealed that Matt somehow survived the shadow demon attack and is still around, but not as prominent. He later attempts to capture Power Girl shortly before Infinite Crisis occurs in "JSA: Classified issues 1-4," but he is later defeated by the original Multiverse's e-2 Superman during Infinite Crisis as he's about to capture her alongside several other villains for Alexander Luthor, Jr. of the original multiverse's e-3, as seen in issue 2 of Infinite Crisis.
Matt Hagen had temporary shape-shifting, voice-shifting, and body constituted by living mud which he can divided or change tone at will. Matt has to immerse himself in the protoplasm to recharge his powers.
Since his popularity do to television, Matt Hagen has returned to the DC Universe as the only Clayface so that is why I decided to create a figure in his honor.
When I originally started on Clayface, he was falling apart and was all sticky. It took some research and lots and lots of Mod Podge and repainting to come up with the solution to make him into a "playable" figure so his torso don't fall off.
In this original picture you can see him up against Batman. Some say Clayface may be a little small but hey, if you can shape shift then what;s really the correct size, right?
The Batman appears to be big because he is. I created a large body for guys like Batman, Captain America and Superman just because I think they needed to be a bit bigger the the normal. I have not felt the need to make any more bier bodies but I'm sure I wlll. Here's Manbat
Bonus:Manbat
Somebody on here gave me an idea for Manbat by doing the same thing with those crappy Batman TAS figures. I sawed the lower small legs off Manbat and glued them with a pair of longer legs to give Manbat some height. I have him flying over my Justice League satellite in my room.
