In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?”
I often wondered what it would be like if Neca/McFarlane made The Dark Knight figures instead of the undersized Movie Masters line that Mattel gave us. Since most of my collection is from Neca/McFarlane/DC Direct and The Dark Knight is one of my favorite films, I had to make a custom of what I consider to be the best movie villain since Hannibal Lecter in a similar scale.
After two failed attempts (the first plain sucks, while the second needs some revisions), I’m finally satisfied enough with what I’ve done to show the folks of figurerealm =D. I’m just a beginner, so please be kind.
Joker murdered the following to get their body parts:

When I heard of the Vile Volition's II contest I knew I wanted to make the most physically repulsive and morally bad character I could think of ...Beast man. Beast man has always had a bad rap. Most of the time he is portrayed as Skeletor's whipping boy. Even in plastic form he really isn't made fearsome. So I made a feral, monstrous,and deformed version of him. Along with a fierce look I wanted to emphasize his twisted physique. I wanted him to have a huge hunched back demeanor and look as if he would be really tall if he stretched to his full height. I thought about a lot of different base figures for Beasty and decided on the SMC Venom. I liked that Venom figure's neck extended out and help accentuate his hunched shoulders. But the Venom torso had a really narrow waist so I dremeled out the original ab section from the 200X Beast man and molded it to fit the Venom torso. 200X Beast man's waist fit perfectly on ML Sasquat](userimages/customs/37500/37264-1.jpg) Beastman Masters of the Universeby suprasizemeThe definition of vile is physically repulsive or morally bad.

![[Mr. Freeze] "This is how I will always remember you. Surrounded by winter. Forever young. Forever beautiful. Rest well my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served cold."
This is a custom of Dr. Victor Fries, aka the notorious Mister Freeze!
I originally wanted to use this formula for the Winter contest, but didn't have the time. When the Vile Volitions contest came up, I was thankful for the second chance.
I've wanted to make a Mister Freeze ever since I saw the Naut Kei Loi GL CLassics figure on the shelves. I wanted to mix the smooth style of the DCUC buck with a gritty, almost steampunk look from some of the McFarlane figures I had laying around. I thought this clunky Freeze-pack and huge Freeze cannon would be a little closer to what a Mad Scientist on the run would make, with the limited resources he'd have at his disposal.
Helmet is removable, and Freeze cannon can clip onto the backpack for storage.
Here's the formula:

![[The Dark Knight Rises MM Bane] "Your punishment must be more...severe." -Bane
With The Dark Knight Rises just around the corner I couldn't resist taking a crack at the main villain of the film. Played by Tom Hardy, Bane is one of Batman's deadliest foes. He is as much a physical threat as he is a psychological one. I have no doubts that that is exactly what Chris Nolan will deliver come this July.
Bane started as a Miles Quaritch figure, an idea borrowed from Chester 001 and Matthancock. I just went to town on the sculpting, all done in Aves Fixit and some pieces of plastic. The head was a Conan head (I liked the anger in his face and his eyes), heavily retooled and sculpted. I used Model Masters Acrylics and there you go, Bane.

This custom was first a mistake on my part as I was trying to make the entire Marvel Initiative Thunderbolts team, a comic book story arc written by Warren Ellis with art by Mike Deodato and covers by Marko Djurdjevic. The striking cover of issue #120 featured the Green Goblin in a cool looking costume, so I started making a custom of this costume and half way through I looked through the actual book and found the costume weren’t the same. In the book Osborn was wearing his Marvel Knights Spider-man costume, this costume had an Hasbro oversized unleashed figure.

Crossbones is one of the world's best hand-to-hand combatants, with extensive training in street-fighting, military combatives, various forms of martial arts, and is a student of the Taskmaster. Physically, Crossbones is tall and very heavily muscled, but moves with an athletic grace uncommon for a man of his bulk. He is a skilled pilot and driver. In addition, he's an expert marksman with guns, bows, and throwing knives. Crossbones usually arms himself with a fighting knife and a small collapsible crossbow, and various throwing daggers, and spring-loaded stiletto blades in his gauntlets. He also has some experience with torture and brainwashing, having effectively "reprogrammed" Sin (Red Skull's daughter) and nearly so with Diamondback.
