The Crow Crazy

2008-03-19T00:57:00.000-07:00

Creating one of the most iconic characters in comics and movies, I thought these were rather simple to make. For the character Iris Shaw, I only painted her face whereas for Eric Draven, I need to resculpt his hair and paint it.

I present to you, Iris Shaw from the graphic novel, 'The Crow: Flesh & Blood'.

Although it's not really a carbon copy of the character, I added more details like the belt and extra accessories. I do followed closely for the face-paint though.

Sometimes I wonder why, Hollywood never wish to adapt this female crow to the big screen. Sigh. Aren't we all tired of having male crow coming out for revenge because of the love that was lost?

Every Crow fan favorite character (cause it's the original MF!), Eric Draven. This design was based on the movie potrayed by Brandon Lee...

Here's another one that I made when I was only 14 years old. Hahaha. Started out young huh. Anyways, this was made using my sister's Ken doll. I made the hair using my mum's thread. I'm still puzzled by the way my endurance then cause as you can see, I've created a full set of hair out of sewing thread!? I'm amazed Zero.... Anyway, just enjoy these photos, and peace.

Back to Kitbash Again...

2007-11-16T06:08:00.000-08:00

Eversince my late father got sick, I've not have enough time to do a proper kitbash. Then during my stay in the hospital to acompany him few weeks ago, I started kitbashing small. And when I say small, I really meant small. MICROMAN!!!! My dad (God rest his soul) passed away about two weeks ago. He had always been the one encouraging me to continue on my customs. He said one day I might even turn this into a powerful business. He really had faith in me. Goodbye Papa and I will really miss you.

Back to Kitbashing, I started kitbashing some Micromans as I started to get the hang of it. First one I did is a Bruce Wayne. Looks a little bit like Christian Bale's take but the outfit of Michael Keaton (the one with the black turtle-neck and jeans when Kim Basinger's character found out Batman's true identity).

Then there were others. I don't really have much time to categorize which is which. I hope to do it soon since now I'm picking myself up again. Enjoy the rest of the pics and PEACE!

This one's definately Mr. Freeze... Head of Ras Al Ghul from the Batman Begins Microman line...

Bruce Lee

2007-08-28T03:02:00.000-07:00

WWWAAAAATTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Here's just an improvement of my 12" Bruce Lee I got back in the 90s. Surprisingly, the figure I bought, though based on Bruce Lee, doesn't even look like him. So I decided to resculpt the hair using a massive dose of Sculpey and repaint the eyebrows. This is the closes that I can get. The traditional black Chinese suit comes with the figure whereas the yellow jumpsuit from Game of Death is purchased off the flea market. Yellow shoes is a repaint of a once white pair of sneakers for 1/6 figures.

Poison Ivy

2007-08-28T02:54:00.000-07:00

Started on this figure throughout the weekend as soon as I got the head delivered to me. This is one of the simplest but yet there might be more for me to improvised but as of now, I'm kinda happy with Poison Ivy. The body is from the first batch of CY Girls AJ McLeod and the head is not really known to me. I bought it from a local seller off EBay. The sleeves, the main costume and boots are made out of green felt and the leggings are made from stretchable lycra like cotton. Hope you guys enjoy this work, peace...

Poison.... Poison Ivy...

I'm the queen of green!!!! Right....

Unfinished Project - Mr Freeze

2007-08-21T10:53:00.000-07:00

Went to Tai Seng down at North Bridge Road and found this Ass looking 12" astronaut. But gave me this idea on making a Mr. Freeze. So I decided to buy it anyway. I took out the original body and replaced it with a BBi body. Bought a Lawrence Fishburne looking head at China Square, Gloves bought at Golden Mile Tower, and the rest are all my spare parts like elbow and knee pads. Repainted the head, and those elbow and knee pads. I've yet to find a proper dome for the head so still searching. And also to paint the backpack and gun which totally looked plastic. Well, till this is done, will be hearing from me soon. PEACE!

Scarecrow

2007-08-21T10:47:00.000-07:00

This is actually and improvised version to my initial Scarecrow. I wasn't too happy with the earlier one so I remade the mask, add more details to the hat (like straws) and costume (like ropes and shit). Normal 12" body that I have no idea which brand was it from. The rest are 12" accessories like the suit and gloves bought at my regular Sunday Flea Market. Enjoy these photos and PEACE!

Commisioner Gordon

2007-08-19T11:55:00.000-07:00

Here's my take on the commisioner of Gotham City, Commisioner James Gordon. I got the body from the Toy Fleamarket at China Square. Sculpted the moustache using sculpey and repainted the hair. Made the white shirt.Shoes, brown pants and tie from my own spare parts. Got the trench coat, holster and gun (all of which are by vintage GI Joe) from EBay. Hope you guys enjoy the following photos. Peace.

"Where's my coffee!?"

Ready for action!

Lex Luthor

2007-08-19T11:34:00.000-07:00

Made this simple custom few months back. Using a Bald headed BBi body with business suit off Ebay. All I can say is that I made the tie, heh... All I did was put everything into place and made a character out of it. The kryptonite is from the Mattel DC Superheroes Lex Luthor. A pretty simple kitbash but it seems that it looks quite good with my 12" collection. Enjoy the photos. Peace...

Time to kill Superman...

Kryptonite anyone?

Who shall I kill next?

Second Take on Superman

2007-07-24T06:43:00.000-07:00

This is actually the one I created a long time ago. Just made few changes like repainted the head, sculpted new hair and using a Hot Toys muscular body instead of the normal BBi ones. Not really articulated as the muscles made it too rigid to move. Enjoy these photos. Peace...
