"You play a good game boy, but the game is finished, now you die!"

The Tall Man, a Lurker, a Sentinel, and Mike Pearson from Phantasm. Didn't quite nail Angus Scrimm's scowl I was going for on the Tall Man, but otherwise, I'm REALLY happy with these. Got another Lurker on the way, and I need to make the silver pole gateway.

The ONLY movie that ever scared me (probably because I watched it when I was 7.)

Awesome job!

-- Is that a Cover Girl head on Mike?

At least someone's recognized it... I was afraid no one was!

Yes, that's a Cover Girl head with Sirius Black hair. I tried to de-age the Sirius head, but thought a female head sans makeup would work better for the kid.

Outstanding job on these. Loved the movie and you did the characters justice. Only one question, does the sentinel ball have a blade pop out of it?

I so need to see that movie, again.

Never seen the movie (going to rectify that), but those customs are just outstanding. You have given me a couple of ideas. Love that dio piece. What is it?

Wow! Theses are incredible. You nailed them!

Those do look great. And, yeah, it is one scary flick for sure. Thanks for the memories! :-D

I saw it as a small lil one and that part at the end when mike shuts the door and the mirror on the other side shows the tall man and the mirror shatters, freaked me out for years. I was so ticked when they, in Phantasm 3 or 4, "revealed" that the tall man was just , just ruined a lot of the great flow of the movies.

Great custom, Very much thought put into it and great execution

Just watched all of these movies again on Netflix last weekend (insomnia's a bear), and you really captured the essence of these characters. Don't beat yourself up over not perfectly capturing Angus' poop face. That's like a force of nature.

My only gripe is this: Where the fudge is Reggie the Ice Cream Man?

Thanks gang!

Backdrop is from a McFarlane figure... the girl in the wedding dress.

Aegis, I've seen the sequels maybe once or twice each... none of them live up to the first (though Reggie's quad-shotgun is pretty great). I'd forgotten about the golden sphere thought, might have to to brave it and rewatch them.

Any ideas on how to add the blades to the sentinel (silver sphere)? I found these great beads in the jewelry making section of hobby lobby that have a hole on one side only... just no clue how to make tiny little blades for it!

That's the first thing my wife asked when I showed her these guys, Spin!

I'll have to be inspired to tackle Reg. The white on the shirt for the tall man was such a pain, I can't imagine doing Reg's all white Ice Cream Man uniform! Storm Shadow legs would work, but Hasbro needs to make some simple all white arms!

I wonder who would work for the head sculpt.

Oh, and considering the Tall Man started out as this head:

I'm mostly happy with the results. But yeah, that expression is really extreme, it'd take someone with real sculpting skills to really capture it.

Wow...great choice of source material for these guys! I never thought I'd see Phantasm figures, and I'm very glad to. I love the Lurker; that's the best use of a Jawa since...well, Jawas. Fantastic work on these fellows.
