Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[figuremaster_les]

Well, might as well start posting a few of my Sideshow related custom works in here.

First up, a 1939 style Joker made with a Sideshow 12" Phantom of the Opera SSE figure base and head and some really cool gangster clothes I found.

I know Joker was introduced in 1940, but I am working on a project and it's set in 1939...so this Joker has to be a part of it! More to come of this kind of thing...

To start, here he is with my 1939 style Batman...

And a before and after shot....

And too close...

Resculpted facial areas and hair with Magic Sculpt two part epoxy putty and painted with Model Master Acryl acrylic enamels. I based him on several references, from the silent film The Man Who Laughs with Conrad Veidt, the facial image that actually helped inspire the Joker, and from Tim Curry's famous mouth and expressions and of course, the base face of Lon Chaney, a man I bet that would have loved to have played this character if he'd lived long enough and had the chance.

Enjoy!

That's a wicked Joker! Man, if you can do that with Lon Chaney, I can't wait to see what you could do with a Nicholson sculpt!

Les, again you amaze me with your fantastic work! Just phenomenal.... That Joker....the eyes and mouth are just creepy as Hell.... I'm seriously speechless here...

F'n Amazing Les!!! That Joker is by far the best 1/6 version of him I've ever seen, I especially appreciate how you were able to make him look like the Joker, but still be a completely unique vision! Please more pics of your work... and that Batman looks phenomenal.

Now the real question is, where's the...

Medieval F'n Kurgan?!?​

Love the custom Joker Les. Really shows off your talents!!! Thats pretty cool that you found insperation in Tim Curry, who just happened to play the greatest on screen devil of all times, Darkness!!!

Very nice Joker! The Batman in the bg looks good, too.

 

[sladesuperagent]

Yes, I love the fact that he's you're own vision of the character. Very nice!

 

[Customikey]

That's gorgeous work Les. Very classy. A lot of Jokers are just to gaudy to look real, but this one is probably closer to what we'll see in the next film, hopefully.
