And now I am to the last of my vintage Batman movie custom 5 inch figures. Here is Bane as seen in 1997s Batman & Robin, played by the late Jeep Swenson, may he rest in peace. I actually kind of like the design for Bane in the film, even if the writer and director iced the characterization. To make Bane, I used the figure from the Batman & Robin toy line as the base, the one that looked nothing like the movie. I used epoxy to cover and enlarge the head. I used Sculpy to carefully layer on the mouthpiece and eye designs. I smoothed out the muscle definition where his shirt covers the body with sculpy as well. I used the dremel to cut away the unwanted arm band and wrist gauntlet, then I cut the hands off and replaced them with the hands from an 8 inch Jakks Pacific wrestling figure. I used sculpy to make the wrist cuffs, the collar, the cod piece, and the chest harness gizmo, as well as more details on the boots for screen accuracy. I drilled a hole in the back of his head and an angled hole into his spine just above the harness gizmo, then cut down the hose that came with the figure to the desired length and glued it in. The spikes on his waist, wrists, and collar were made using toothpicks. I used hobby wire for the extra four cords that attach to his head. After painting the figure from head to toe, I drew on the veins using a Prismacolor colored pencil. There you have it, a screen accurate Bane!

great and excellent work...I admire you very much
I remember that when I first saw this design of Bane I didn't like it very much, but as a collector I started liking it over the years. Your figure makes me want to customize one for myself
