    The Headless Horseman

    Just in time for Halloween I finished my custom Headless Horseman. The body is a DC Retro body which sits very well on a horse. The clothes come from a Space 1999 Balor and the cape is from the CTVT Reaper figure. The pumpkin came from a 12 inch Hobgoblin made in the 90's by Toybiz or Applause. When I poted my Creature figure a while back, a lot of you mentioned I should have given it glow eyes so in keeping with the Mad Monster theme, the pumpkin he holds has them. The axe is from Masters of The Universe (only because I don't have a Tinman axe yet.) K-Mart sells generic toys under the name "Just Kids" for cheap and thats where the horse came from. Its flocked so I didn't know about painting it but it worked out just fine. I'm also fond of him with a head and a lot of Horseman customs seem to have pumpkin heads for reasons I've never really understood so I gave him an interchangeable CTVT skull head too.

    That really looks cool. The background looks like flames and rally sets this off.

        Thanks...I was going for the hells fog look in the photos. Its actually a silk curtain I have and it worked out really well. The figure doesn't photograph well without a brightly colored background and it just so happened I was switching out my living room curtains last night when I got the idea. So after many failed photos without the curtain, I was able to get the background effect. As for the victim, I needed a farmer so Grandpa Walton was the unfortunate soul...

              Nice. One of my Halloween favorites for sure.
