Yep! A decent job. There are some clever guys out there. No doubt. I really wish some of these custom jobs pushed the 'proper' companies into doing some similar stuff. Like the Sideshow APES and James Bond stuff. It is beautiful and affordable too. Maybe CTVT could attempt something but I think we all know the way those guys are heading sadly.

I love the outfit on this figure. Real scary face too.

Frightening! Love the use of the "real" hair.

Thanks for the plug! ;D That one's mine I'm afraid. Guilty as charged.  It was my first real custom and it's really just a heavily repainted Sideshow Gentleman figure from Buffy, but I made the outfit by hand, with glue!!! (I saw the other how-to page and was like, Yeah!  ) and it was the very first time I had ever done anything quite like it. Glad to know some of you see what I was trying to accomplish with him. And the hair... Yes, more real hair on figures please! |

Les, that is a super looking Joker, best Ive seen in 12" hands down.
If you or any other members have whole figures, parts, heads or whatever for sale, feel free to post an add in the Trade section of the board.
Nice to have you aboard Les.

Les-
I've seen that Gentlemen figure and would not have ever made the connection- brilliant "resource management" and skillfully completed.

Thanks. I saw him and, since I live and breathe all this custom stuff, I saw a mean Joker in there immediately. Gotta look with Extreme customizer's eyes mate! Nothing is sacred. Figures of that kind of access are out there in DROVES! Just one can't always see. I miss 'em all the time. All the time. Too often. That particular one just sort of jumped out at me.
And thanks for the comments. Get one yourself and repaint him. It's an almost cathartic experience.

I just re-read that and hope my tone doesn't come off as condescending. I am a very sarcastic person at times but didn't mean to seem that way now. I said that with the wink of an eye to us all.  Actually, am I the first to see that Joker in that Gentleman?  If so, I gotta look for some more figures of that nature and share them with you, as many of you need to get some of these also! Look at the 21st Century Assassin Mathilda or Jacqueline for a great Catwoman! Even comes with this wonderful fuzzy body suit! Just a tip. Share with me also. Like I said, I miss much. BTW, I just made that Joker international and dropped the reserve so it can be more easily available to anyone. I am new at this selling my customs gig. You folks have humbled me a bit there. Realized I hadn't considered THE REST OF THE WORLD....  I'll do better next time. |

He's a phenomenal piece of work no doubt about it,very well done.
I understand what you mean too,sometimes you see a figure and straight away it pops into your head who they could and should be turned into.

Just a quick note to say, the Insane Joker did indeed find a home. He did not sell on Ebay, but, a very kind kid in Colorado traded me a box of fine Sideshow figures and parts and I couldn't resist. He had said he didn't think he could afford that Joker. Pulled the old heartstrings ya know!  So, he's in a good and appreciated home now. |

Congrats,i don't mind a good trade rather than a sale.Most of the time you sink the money back into your Hobby anyways so if you can get some good fodder instead then i say more power to you.

I agree. In all, trading always seems somehow more rewarding.
BTW, your tag Faithful Butler with that avatar image of Alfred answering the phone always puts a smile on my face. ;D
