Thanks.

And now for a blast from the past. A very early Spidey bad guy:

The Terrible Tinkerer:
Image

Head: Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, modded
Body: Patronus Harry Potter

Something of an LBC. This is a custom I have been planning for some time. I had thought about using several different heads, but settled on Palpatine as he looked most like the character. I built up the chin and sanded some of the hair away from the top of the head. When I finished the painting, I was a little bit disappopinted that I hadn't made him look more sinister, but then I thought his look fit right in to where he first appeared in the comic as a mild-mannered electrical repairman. IMO, that makes him even more sinister when you take into account his real personality. The rest of the figure is just a repainted Harry Potter. I did this one while I was waiting for clay and paint to cure on the figure I will be posting on here tomorrow.........

Gotta agree with DH. Something you'd never expect to see, but it's a nice break from the military/superhero/zombie figures.

The Tinkerer is very nice.

This is not one of the Spidey characters I ever expected to see at retail, let alone as a custom.

Ditto to what the others have said.

When I was younger, I always thought the Tinkerer looked like character actor James Whitmore (the Miracle Gro guy).He would have been my pick for the role in a live action version.

I can kinda see the resemblance to him in the figure.

I can't believe you made the Tinkerer.
Parts and paints are spot on.
He turned out really good.

Who makes the Tinkerer! Who does that?


G-damn good work man. Hah. I think you've trumped me on out of left field characters.
