    Dannnnnnny!! Where are youuu?!

    Hello all.

    Whilst at the amazing Mego Meet, I was able to whip up a figure I've been wanting to make for a while.
    The Shinning is probably one of my Top 10 Movies of all times.
    Mr Nicholson acted his heart out and portrayed complete insanity to a "T" in this role.

    I knew it would be difficult to make a "typical person" into an above par custom.
    I scrounged up a generic outfit from various dealers from the Meet.
    The hands and axe is from Doc.
    My memory forgets where the head came from.
    The paints were probably one of my better jobs. (It's amazing what you can achieve when you actually take your time)

    I was trying to achieve a certainly level of creepiness and the sculpt was perfect for this character.

    Enjoy:






    Thanks for looking!!
    -Sean

    How'd you get that effect with his eyes? They look like they're lit from within!

                Nice job on the paints! That has to be the scariest Mego ever, I don't think I could sleep in the same room with that thing

                          I still look at this and get creeped out. He's gonna have to either give it to me, or finally make the jack & danny 2-pack and give me one.

                              Super nice work on this one. That face really does capture the level of crazy Nicholson displayed in the movie.
                              sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
