    Custom of the Week - 1/21/2013 - The Puppet Master

    This better-late-than-never edition of Custom of the Week spotlights sixties FF enemy the Puppet Master. I must profess my ignorance as to his background, but this is one delightfully creepy villain courtesy of dr cyclops.

              OMG! I made it to "Custom of the Week! Thanks everyone.
              Must confess, I've been secretly hoping for this.

              Believe it or not, I had decided to use the "Handful of Heroes" Thing, when I first started the head sculpt. Finishing the sculpt I heard that someone had customized a 6 inch action figure and added the 'HOH Thing' as a accessory. OUCH.

              HOH Thing and head aside, the apron, window box and black repro gloves, really top off this custom. bleit1701, The Toyroom and drmego really came through on these. drmego for keeping repro black plastic gloves available. The Toyroom for helping me keep it 60s and bleit1701 for his Fantastic apron. This place is a gold-mine of talent.

                  He's really CrEePy looking. Great job! Although I am not familiar with the guy, I'm definitely intrigued now.

                  Excellent custom!

                      I'm not familiar with this character either, but he turned out great! Congrats. Now I need to head over to Wikipedia to find out about this goon. I'm not sure what I did before Wikipedia...

                      Again, congrats!

                            It's true! I love "Creepy"! "Creepy" is my cute. Even worse, my wife thinks the same way. She married me because of it.*

                            *Anyone who has not found 'True Love', is allowed to hate dr_cyclops and nurse_kissy. It's OK.
