    And now it's time for...Sandman Mystery Theater

    I've been working on this custom off and on for ages. For the past year, everything has been finished except the waistcoat and shirt. I had a very specific idea of how I thought it should be done, but it just wouldn't work out. I finally gave in and decided that the best way to go was a fake shirt, ala the Kojak figure. So the sleeves are attached to the waistcoat and the top of the shirt, tie, and collar are a separate piece that snaps shut.
    The body is a 3 Stooges Curley, with the head and hands plasti-dipped to make gloves and a balaklava hood. The gas mask and hat are sculpted from scratch and cast in resin. Both are removable.

    The clothes were patterned by myself after a lot of trial and error. The overcoat was in a parts lot, probably from the Police Woman doll. The shoes are repros, I think of Dracula's shoes. I don't know if you can see them, but he's also wearing little socks.
    The gas gun is also my own sculpt.

    Edit: The link to add IMG links are not cooperating with my phone. If you want to see the photos, click on my user gallery. I'll try to figure it out at home.
