Matthew Jaycox Customs
Batman and Robin: I got the ideas for these customs one
day when I was washing my hair. As a gag gift, people at work had gotten
me Batman shampoo for my birthday. The head was approximately the right
size, so I lopped it off and made a recast of it. I like the Animated
series look so much on him that I decided he needed a partner. Robin's
head is an original Super Sculpey work, and he was modeled after the
most recent animated series version (Tim Drake). The body is a Lion
Rock 7". Batman's pouch belt came from a Lion Rock soldier as well.
(I'm not sure which one). Bat insignia on his chest is black Contact
paper. I have no idea why the lining of Robin's cape came out white
in the scan It's yellow in real life. Boxes were designed by me and
have a wrap-around cityscape on them.
Two Face: This unfortunately is the best scan I have
of this guy at this point. I 'm ambivalent about this, one of my
earliest customs. His suit is great, but I don't like the head anymore.
I'm working on a new head. This one is from a candy dispenser (not
Pez). Shoes are one Penguin shoe, one Boss Hog shoe. |

Flash: Completed this guy shortly after Batman and
Robin. Tried to get him
in the animated Series style as well, because I liked how he had
looked on
the cartoon. Head is an original sculpt. Wings on the head came
from grappling prongs on a BTAS Batman grappling hook gun (In the
Batman/2-Face 2-pack I believe). Suit is handsewn, lightning and
decals are yellow contact paper and white electrical tape. Shazam
boots of course. |

Spectre:
Though not my first custom, this was the first I ever did with my
own sculpt for the head. I tried something easy because I knew that
hood would hide alot. He's basically just a bald guy with no
ears (shhhh, don't tell him). I like the idea of the
white body suit because I think it's
what Mego would have done. The idea for Spectre's box is a blatant
rip-off of Scott Arendsen's
Spectre box (as is the Flash). But I didn't know you guys
when I made it, and consequently never thought I'd even come
in contact with you. (Don't sue me Scott) |
