I've been working on a Mr. Glass figure in some form or another since the movie Unbreakable came out. This is the first one I saw through to completion. Very proud of how he came out... maybe in another 10 years I'll have a David Dunn figure to go with him!

After posting my Aeon Flux figure last night, I realized the purple would work well for this guy... I'd be agonizing over whether to try and match the coat's look from the film exactly, but decided to go more with an "inspired by" version, based on the movie, the concept art, and how might appear after the film even, after he's accepted his role of Super Villain.

HOLY CRAP! That is awesome! Seriously seriously cool. And happily enough, I have a small pile of Mace Windu heads around some where... That is fantastic. Only thing I can say is that I would flatten out the tip of the cane, as a rounded tip on a cane could be a bit counter productive. ;)

Well done friend. Seriously.

BAM! That's how that gets done, son.

Can't improve that any except by mailing it to me, man.

Get in line. :D Seriously is is a cool looking figure of a great character.

For Unbreakable you need the BBi head that looks like Bruce Willis and Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes' trench coat. The rest doesn't matter as much.

Close, but not quite. You need the Attack of the Clones Anakin Skywalker refugee disguise poncho, painted green, with 'Security' stencilled on the back. Plus that BBi head with some ball cap hat thing.

BAM. Two figures I would totally buy.

Anyone help me track down that Bruce Willis head?

This is f**king epic. The only tiny crit I have would be to make his hair a bit bigger.

Incredible and totally unexpected custom, and that's the magic of it.

If you're at all a comic book/super hero fan, see the film...now. I think it's the last thing Shyamalan did that was worth a poo.

This custom is worth far more than a poo. Unless the poo were made of solid gold and autographed by Sam Jackson.

Fan-friggin-tastic work.
