    The Riddler - DC Direct 13" Custom

    Finished up a DC Direct 13" custom of The Riddler today; this is the first true villain that I've made (Catwoman kinda straddles the line). I used a DCD Golden Age Green Lantern as the base, repainted the hair, repainted a DCD Robin mask and GA Green Lantern belt, repainted a pair of gloved hands, and made the rest by hand.
    I dyed some white lycra to get the right shade of green for the costume, made a pair of gauntlets, and made a pattern for the question marks and cut them out individually from a sheet of self adhesive fabric patch (painted black with acrylic paints). Over time I'm afraid they're going to peel, so I may have to anchor them with some fabric glue.









    (and here's a sneak peak at one I'm currently working on):

    Dude, I just absolutely love your work and your style. Sure it's not Mego-scale, but who cares? This is some super slick stuff you're putting out. I'm very curious how you pull off that Beetle head...
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Yeah, the head is what's keeping me from completing Blue Beetle! I've had him at this point for a couple of weeks, but I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks for the kind words!

            Great stuff! I wish DC Direct had actually saw fit to carry this line further than they did...

              Fantastic work, and your Blue Beetle is amazing looking too!

              Just a heads up...I noticed that one question mark just above and to the left of his left knee is missing the dot, and so are the two on his right butt cheek.

                    nice Riddler, looks like Beetle will be cool, too. Would a Flash head work as a base for him?

                      Fantastic job! I like the fact you used Robin's mask to craft the Riddler's. Nice piece of irony in that customizing job. A top notch figure. You do excellent work.
