Batman (Flashback)
The Batman of the past is made from a "Knight Assault Batman" which is a
repaint of a "Detective Batman" with "Knight Glider Batman" legs. The cape
comes courtesy of a "Gotham Defender Batman." |
 |
Batgirl
Batgirl uses the IRON COW Productions recipe with slight alterations.
The recipe uses an Animated "Supergirl" torso and the upper legs
of a "1959 Swimsuit Barbie" Happy Meal toy. An "Arctic Blast Robin" provides
the boots, gloves, and upper cape. The boots were built up with Kneaditite
and sanded smooth. Supergirl's hair was sanded down and a cowl was constructed.
The ears and the bottom of the cape were provided by a "Wind Blitz Batgirl."
The logo is courtesy of ICP. The belt is painted cut paper and the
buckle is a painted package peg dot. |

Robin
Robin is simply a repainted version of the "Robin with Assault Glider"
that came in the TRU Alfred four pack that was released last year. He was
repainted in darker shades to reflect his appearance in the movie Batman
Beyond Return of the Joker. |

Old Bruce Wayne
One of the most ambitious project taken on to date, the elderly Bruce
Wayne was made using IRON COW Productions recipe for the same character,
but only 50% of it. Bruce is a combination of a TNBA "Arkham Escape Two-Face"
(TRU Repaint), an "Undercover Bruce Wayne", an "Arkham Assault Joker",
and finally a Toy Biz "Batman" movie figure. To begin all figures were
boiled and popped. Next, the Two-Face torso was put back together and details
were sanded off. Once done the torso was cut in half at the waist. The
same was the Undercover Bruce Wayne paying attention only to the belt since
the rest would be cut away anyway. Once cut in half, the arms of both Two-face
and Undercover Bruce Wayne was cut off near or at the elbow. The upper
arms of Two-Face were placed back within the now sanded torso and the torso
was glued back together. Once dry the lower arms from Undercover Bruce
Wayne were attached at the elbow create Bruce's arms. To assemble the legs,
the knee joints were literally cut out of the Toy Biz Batman's legs. The
same size area was removed from the Arkham Assault Joker's legs and the
knee joints were fitted into place. Any gaps were filled in with Kneaditite
then the legs were sanded smooth. Once completed the legs were positioned
in the lower part of the Undercover Bruce Wayne's torso, which had been
cut in half earlier. The lower torso was closed and glued paying special
attention not to let glue seep into the legs joints. To attach the upper
and lower torso's together Kneaditite was used. Once it had had time to
set, Kneaditite was one again used to smooth out the torso and arm seems.
The shirt lines were also cut into the torso at this point. Once dry, brushed
on Alumilite was used on the torso (around the shirt lines) and arms to
create the effect of a jacket. After the body was constructed the head
was cut at an angle to accommodate the positioning on the new torso. Later
the hands were cut off and repositioned at an angle to hold his cane and
to look like he could be at the Batcomputer talking to Batman. The head
is an almost original sculpt from my previous attempt at an Old Bruce Wayne
and is based on an Undercover Bruce Wayne head. The cane is Kneaditite
and bits cut from the plastic that housed the firing disks from the Street
to Sky Batmobile.
Ace
Ace started as the Ace figure, which came with the Batman Beyond
"Neon Camo Batman"(dlx) figure. The molded armor was sanded off and the
then hollowed-out Ace was filled with plaster. Once dry Ace was covered
with Kneaditite and sanded smooth. The collar is cut painted paper and
package peg dots. |

Terry McGinnis
Terry McGinnis is based on the recipe for IRON COW Production's Vigilante
Terry, which in turn was based on Pierre's recipe for a Terry McGinnis
without a Jacket. The recipe was copied once again substituting
a "Rumble Ready Riddler"figure for the Nightwing body. The recipe
uses the Head of a "Power Armor Batman" (Terry McGinnis head, minus the
neck peg) and the body of a Rumble Ready Riddler with hands from
a "Grad Prix Speed Racer" figure. The Riddler logo was sanded completely
off and then the figures head was removed. The hands were removed
and replaced with those of the Speed Racer, the Riddler head was separated
from the neck peg and replaced with Terry's. The head/neck peg was
replaced inside the figure. Kneaditite was used to create Terry's
shoes and pants. The belt is cut painted paper.
Batman
Batman was constructed using the same recipe as the Terry McGinnis substituting
the head and hands of a "Manta Racer Batman." The arm fins and belt
buckle were recast from the "Power Cape Batman" figure and the remaining
belt details as well as the Batlogo are cut painted card stock. The
boot details are made from Kneaditite. The feet are actually cut
out to resemble the boots of the Batsuit. |

Future Joker
Future Joker was a major undertaking. At first he was constructed quite
simply using a "Rumble Ready Riddler" as the base with an "Arkham Assault Joker"
head sanded down and repainted to reflect his appearance in the movie. This
was quickly decided that it just didn't look right. It was decided that an
"Arkham Assault Joker" torso and arms would be the best way to go. The upper
legs and lower torso are from a TNBA Mr. Freeze, with the lower legs and feet of
an "Undercover Bruce Wayne." The hands come from a Speed Racer "Assassin"
figure. Joker's head was once again sanded down and repainted. It's not
totally visible from the picture but the Joker's lips are actually a mix of red and
black. His skin tone is a very washed out babyblue, unlike his teeth which are
white.
The Joker
The Joker is a repainted "Arkham Assault Joker" with the cumberbund sanded off
and replaced with Kneaditite shirt details. He was repainted in the Future
Joker color scheme with the red/black lips and washed-out babyblue skin tone. |
