So I finally got my hands on a Movie Masters Joker. I saw what a lot of people had done with this figure to help sell it more as Ledger, and I really wanted to try. After opening the package and getting a good look at it, I suddenly realized how good people like idiotist, timshinn73 and missharleyquinn's customs using this base really were. I felt the face needed some work so I built up the upper lip to the nose (corner of the nose toward the corner of the mouth - the smile lines or nasolabial folds) and the scar there, then the rest of the scar had some extra sculpting to add to it. I also reshaped the face, then cut (most importantly I dremiled back the hair at the part), and re-sculpted areas of the hair. Then the head got a complete repaint. I added skin tones to the wrinkles and perimeter of the makeup as well under the chin and jawline, as well as added to the lip stick areas. I then when over the hair using a brown at the roots them going over with shades of green. Darker green as a base coat, then light ones dry brushed over top to catch a highlight look. I also gave the shoes several dry brushed coats of different shades of brown and tan, to give them a more dirty look. The head, as some of you may know either from owning this figure, or by reading reviews, is off kilter. I wanted to take one of the marvel legends style neck wheel joint and make a replacement, but I didn't have any to spare, so I replaced where the ball joint was and the depth to increase posability and give him more than one look. I hated the hands so I took a pair of Spider-man 2 Doc Ock hands altered them so the pointer finger was separate to serve better as the trigger finger for some gun accessories. Then I gave them some purple paint coats sealing them off with a gloss finish to get the shine of the new gloves he was sporting in the movie. I can't believe the time I spent on his cranium, mostly because of waiting for something to dry so I could sculpt something else or get to painting something else. Thanks for the views! ![]() |

I saw some coolness in the original sculpt, but like I said in the post, I have a new respect for some folks that have done similar work before, even just to improve the paints. I can't believe how much paints I did on his cranium, and I tried a lot of different techniques on this one too. Washes, dry brushing, painting with a palate knife... It was fun!
I'm not sure if this is his final resting place, because I wouldn't mind frankensteining it with the joker goon to get that articulation we all want! We'll see if I get around to it.
Awesome job!! I really like the grenades & string touch u added!! superb!!
The only thing I LOATHE from this figure is the lack of articulation on the wait, but u really did him justice.
