Mr. Freeze (Victor Fries) is a fictional supervillain of the superhero Batman. Created by writer Dave Wood and artist Sheldon Moldoff, the character first appeared in Batman #121 (February 1959), where he was known as Mr. Zero. Mr. Freeze is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.
In the most common variation of his origin story, he is a former cryogenics expert in Gotham City who was involved in a laboratory accident while attempting to cure his terminally ill wife Nora Fries. The disaster lowered his body temperature to the point that he must wear a cryogenic suit in order to survive, and he utilizes a "freeze gun" that freezes its targets solid.
Mr. Freeze was played by George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach in the Batman television series, by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, and was voiced by Michael Ansara in Batman: The Animated Series.
Mr. Freeze as portrayed by legendary actor Eli Wallach in the Adam West Batman televison series...
My Eli Wallach Mr. Freeze utilizes the Figures Toy Company Mr. Freeze body and suit; his head is a cobbling of the FTC Grampa Munster head and the FTC Space:1999 Ballor head; paints by yours truly; freeze gun by Todd Mello...
with the FTC Otto Preminger version...
with Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. Who is the real Mr. Freeze?!?!?!
Back in 1997 Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed Mr. Freeze in the widely panned film Batman and Robin. Kenner released a wide array of toys based on the movie anyway and one of the "coolest" of them was the Ice Terror Mr. Freeze...
My Arnold Schwarzenegger Mr. Freeze is based on this figure. His body is a re-painted Ben Affleck Armageddon figure by Hot Wheels (believe it or not!); head is a re-sized Kenner Ice Terror Mr. Freeze head; freeze gun by Todd Mello...
with George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell. (Hey, it was the best I could do)
The Armageddon figure(s) which I never knew existed until about three months ago...
My favorite version of Mr. Freeze is from Batman: The Animated Series. I instantly fell in love with the color scheme.
I have wanted to make this figure for over 20 years. The head, actually, was finished 20 years ago and is a bald Mego Thor head with goggles sculpted on. I found the helmet via Paul Evans about 10 years ago. Had the suit designed and printed back then as well, along with the purple Castaway boots. But, those darn blue "rings"! I was never sure what to use for them until I walked into Michael's a few weeks ago and found them. Freeze gun once again by Todd Mello.
with original Mego Batman and Robin...
Group shot!
Big props to Todd Mello for the freeze guns. Each is in the color scheme of it's respective version of Mr. Freeze and identical to the one used in the Adam West Batman series. My homage to the 1966 television program.
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, Thanks for Looking!!!
Peace, Love, and Megos!
