    Dollmaker -- villain from Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show

    Dollmaker appears in episode 13 "The Case of the Dreadful Dolls" first appearing on October 20, 1984.

    He uses clay dolls and voodoo black magic to command the real Superfriends to commit crimes.

    Only the "Mexican" superhero El Dorado does not fall victim to Dollmaker because he is so new to the Super Friends team and Dollmaker has not yet made an El Dorado doll he can use to control the caped hero.

    El Dorado is temporarily captured but saves the day before Dollmaker can complete his figure and releases all of his fellow Super Friends from Dollmaker's spell by destroying their dolls with water from the building's sprinkler system.

    Firestorm then turns Dollmaker into a Jack-in-the-Box and all is right with the world again.

    NOTE: Originally Toyman was to be the villain of the episode, but was replaced by the cartoon exclusive Dollmaker due to being off-limits (Commentary for "The Case of the Dreadful Dolls" on the DVD Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show.)

    Is Dollmaker really Toyman Winslow Schott? Well, he's using his warehouse.



    Here he is with his very own Wonder Woman and Firestorm customs.



    My version of Dollmaker is built on an original Mego Type 2 body; boots and belt by CTVT; head sculpted by Next2LastMohican; suit by Hawkmike; all paints by me; and little "dolls" from the Super Powers Skyscraper Caper Board Game. I deliberately chose not to use gloves or green hands on the figure. It just did not look right to me in this format.



    Here are the Super Friends under Dollmaker's spell:



    He even gets Superman to steal bars of silver for him:



    And here are my Super Friends under my Dollmaker's spell:



    El Dorado is our only hope...





    ...and he saves the day







    Once asked by a fellow Megohead which of my customs is my favorite, I replied, "It is hard to say because they are all mine. They are all a little piece of me. It's like asking me which of my children is my favorite. I love them all." Well, I still do not have a favorite, but this one, for some reason, really strikes a chord with me. This one is pretty special.

    I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking!

    Peace, Love, and Megos!

      One of my favorite epsiodes of the entire series. I know many quotes from that one.

      Very megoey Austin. I totally would've wanted one when I was a kid to help Joker and Riddler.

      10 outta 10.

              The Love you have for this format is Boundless, and your customs are always Fun. This one is exceptional. Terrific concept and execution using the Super Powers Skyscraper Caper Board Game. Was the hat already sculpted by Next2LastMohican?
              I post in thy general direction!

                    Absolutely perfect.

                    I love seeing custom figures of obscure characters that no figure company would ever even consider making.

                      Yes it was. I commissioned the sculpt personally.

                            Count another accolade on my part, Austin! That's a beautiful tribute to another uniquely colorful classic TV character!

                              Chalk up another "win", Austin! Terrific job, as always!
                              "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."
