Okay, I haven't gotten them yet but I have some prelim pics of these. The back story is that I wanted to see what Les could do for my doll heads because I have been in a face painting slump for over a year and I think he is one of the best face painters I've ever seen. Maybe upon examining his work close-up it will give me some ideas and break me out of my slump. Or maybe I'll just keep hiring Les! Here are a few of my Christmas projects. And NO for those of you who think I just sell everything I get - These will NOT be for sale! 1. Yvonne. This one will stand in until I get a better Yvonne sculpt without a cowl that can feature a removable cowl. I think Les' angle here in the photo skews how she really looks. I think her cut will be softer in person and from a different angle. 2. Adam West 01. This is the Jim Maddox sculpt. 3. Burt Ward. This is Steven's great sculpt that was to be part of the licensed doll project that fell through. I think it's the best Ward I've ever seen and Les really did a fantastic job. Again I say - any takers on helping me with this costume!?

Well, thanks fellas. And thanks Scot!
I wanted you to post these when you wanted to and since that was your call, I guess now was when you wanted to.
I still want to wait and see what you think of them in person. I am hoping they still meet with your approval as that is what matters most.
I await your in-hand comments with bated breath. Hope they look even better in person.
As for a Robin costume, I'll have my lil ear leaning your way for pointers too. I too will be tackling that one after the first of the year... Good luck on your support there.

For everyone "dwelling" on the Robin suit. I got some nice Spandex Material over here that may be able to help. I have every color for Robin. If a pattern can be obtained of a 12" body suit & and or a suit, I may be able to help in one way or another. Let me know of you want a pick of the material posted.

Gee I wish I could think of a new way to compliment the fine work by Les. Great choice hiring on the figuremaster Scot.
It is true what they say- Les is more!
