A lean 8” Alfred Pennyworth action figure
Recipe:
Acetone-shrunken FTC head (1 hour soak, 2-3 days dry; re-soak on & off for 2 weeks); head’s centre re-aligned for more symmetry (eyes, nose; left ear brought forward); highlight The Farrow’s original facial features and hairline sculpt; finer Megoesque eyes and moustache paint; lengthen neck so collar and bowtie do not choke his chin (Sculpey III hardened in boiling water, attached with ShoeGoo and Krazy Glue)…I plan to use this recipe to adapt a teen-scaled ’66 Robin head…
Teen-scaled pelvis and Teen-scaled torso: Torso Dremeled for wider neck plug; torso lengthened at midriff with Sculpey III, and sealed with applications of Krazy Glue;
FTC KISS arms, legs, and inner elastics (my KISS action figure appears to be a skinny 12”-scale male body reduced to 8”-scale)
FTC Alfred clothes, adapted for tighter fit on leaner body; pant legs cuffed;
Generic dollhouse accessories (Gotham Gazette newspaper and silver-polished service tea set)
Alongside complementing Bruce Wayne and his Batman cape, removable cowl and costume details
This is the recipe I have been working on for leaner, stream-lined male physiques (i.e., Scarecrow, Sinestro). Alfred’s figure originally debuted as a Neal Adams’ Joker. My purple Dyna-Mite outfit is the same material as an original Mego Joker jacket, so it will next become a skinny, Seventies full-length Joker blazer (re: Batman 251). I Dremeled an FTC’s Joker neck down to minimal pencil-thin integrity. I am adapting a teen’s neck and arm holes so his head will jut more forward, and his arms could comfortably cross from the shoulders to rest his hands on his cane. I have also been referencing some Filmation Joker cells, where too, he is skinny like Alan Davis artwork. I am tinkering with building some lean arm muscle between female Mego arms and teen ones. The design is still in rudimentary process and teaching me good patience toward completion. Hope the customize Alfred and some of these ideas bring you a few smiles.
