Batman - the Dark Knight Returns (Batman) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:35010
Name:Batman - the Dark Knight Returns
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Batman
Creator:Shinigami  
Date Added:December 12, 2011
Base Figure:see recipe
Height:6.70 inches
He's old, looks like a man-brick, the comic he's in spawned the '90s antihero. We all know him, most love (boo!), some hate (yay!). It's the one, the only, the Dark Knight, who has Returned!
Ol' Grandpa Bats was made from three figures, lots of sanding, minor sculpting, lots o' gray paint (4 colors total, base and three dry brushes), some black, matte and gloss sealants. And the best part? No joint rub.
He was a Secret Santa gift, I hope the recipient likes him as much as I do. Even though I despise the TDKR comic book.

For more pics and a complete step by step process (cutting a hole in his back, using stickers, making gauntlet scalops) check the WIP section of our forum and my site at kapitanpolska dot wodpress dot com.

Recipe:
XMC Stealth Beast - torso and undies, shoulder joints, upper arms and elbows
ML12 Bishop - lower arms and hands, legs complete with balljoints
DCD TDKR Batman - head, cape, belt, batarang

There's always something impressive about seeing someone do a good job on something that they admit they don't like.
