Judge Fear was the third of the Dark Judges that I finished. I wanted to stay as faithful as I could to Brian Bolland's artwork in the "Death Lives" story. I used a LCBH Judge Death, and added the hands from a NECA Berserker Predator. Brian Bolland drew Judge Fear with slightly smaller, more humanlike hands than Judge Death and Judge Mortis. I used a Hasbro Loki cape and added the bear trap shoulder pauldrons. I took the helmet from the LCBH Wrarrl figure, added wings and the dragon's head, and sculpted the faceplate. After adding the heads and beartrap to his belt, I realized how cluttered he looked with the chains hanging down from his shoulder armor and his badge and belt. Realizing this, I made his badge removable, just in case I didn't like the way it looked. He is often drawn with his armor or cape covering his badge anyway. Finally, I painted everything and sealed it. I decided to make his uniform a dark purple, just for a little visual variety. This guy was definitely the most difficult of the Dark Judges to finish, but I'm happy with his final look, and I'm really glad I didn't cut any corners.
Gaze into the face of FEAR!!
