    Here's a new photo of that completed Robin, with a Kermit in there for comparison... http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepopup.php?imagename=http:%2F%2Fthreads.rebelscum.com%2Fphotogallery%2Fwatermark.php?file=167697&imagewidth=1024&imageheight=768 Dearth

    Jim in Epcot American Adventure

    I made sure to visit American Adventure when we were at Epcot on Monday, and sure enough, there was Jim... and Kermit! And to the left of them in the montage was George Lucas, looking very thin and dark-bearded. Quite a contrast from the current George, whom I had passed in a hallway just...

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    I don't believe he was referring to a brick-and-mortar Disney Store... rather www.DisneyStore.com I was just at the Parks in Orlando last week, and a lot of the merchandise that I saw was stuff I knew could be found at DisneyStore.com, online, so I passed on many of the bigger items. I...

    Figmental's Collection and Customs

    Heating the plastic does make it a lot easier to work with. But here are some things to keep in mind, from my own experiences... For removing parts of figures, hot water works better than boiling water. Since the parts of the Palisades figures are made of different kinds of plastics, they...

    Oh, those were easy... just VERY time-consuming. Yes. I was never happy with his half-factory, half-hand-mixed-match paint job, which is why I probably never posted further photos. But a while back, I went ahead and completely repainted all of his green skin with one color so it would...

    In that photo, the white (actually sort of pink) areas are Super Sculpey which was smoothed over the roughly-dremeled plastic, and then I added the 'reticulated foam' dents one toothpick-tip at a time. Dearth

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    Checking the tape today... the precise quote was, "Oh, Palisade figures were done beautifully." Speaker was Brad Schoeneberg. They said the Muppets-as-Star-Wars figures will be slightly smaller than the Palisades line, but I didn't think to ask their size in relation to the Disney ones. DN

    Yeah, be careful how you handle him, or he'll have thumbprints in all those details. I recommend investing in some Super Sculpey. It's as easy to work with as most modelling clay, but you can boil it or bake it (I recommend boiling) and it turns to a hard resin. Then it's sandable, paintable...

    Figmental's Collection and Customs

    It's very interesting to see how someone else approaches the same project and then makes different artistic decisions along the way. I had forgotten this until I saw yours, but I originally tried to dye the Gonzo cape black, only to discover that the lame' material would not take the dye. In...

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    I was in the center-aisle seat of the second row, so I was the first in line for the Q&A session. Heh heh... Not only did I ask, but they were both conversant and complimentary about the Palisades line. I'd have to check my tape for the exact quote, but it was along the lines of "Palisades...

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    Hi-ho all! "Dearth" here, reporting live from Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida. Yesterday I sat in on the Disney Park merchandising panel... More Muppet-as-Star-Wars toys are coming, and this time they're action figures! The original vinyl set will no longer be produced, so if you...

    Oh okay good... the white roses are there on the veil, they're just looped behind her ears because I thought they looked better that way. Dearth

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Is it? Then I've been duped! AUGH! Actually, I bought the loose Piggy fairly inexpensively, mainly because she was without her accessories or Kermit, and then painted a Kermit to pose with her. I'm looking at some pics of a real set, but Piggy's bouquet is always in the way. What's...

    Which one of these do you think is real and which one is the custom? http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepopup.php?imagename=http:%2F%2Fthreads.rebelscum.com%2Fphotogallery%2Fwatermark.php?file=165761&imagewidth=467&imageheight=579 Dearth P.S. My 300th post! Yaaaaaayyy!

    Custom figures and dioramas

    They're really just sitting side-by-side, there's nothing all that fancy about it. But I'll try to remember to take a photo of it for you. *** Nope, it's a back-burner project. I am still stymied as to the perfect medium with which to sculpt their scrubs. I experimented with some new...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Well, those are just the files that were already posted online in a thread at Rebelscum.com's forums. The images were created and uploaded over many months' time, but they were all in one spot, so I just had to cut and paste. What's harder is to go into the labyrinthine bowels of my computer...

    Dr. Teeth Wizard World East Exclusive

    Not sure how much you've got invested in him, but I'd be willing to pay about $50 for one of these, and I'll pay actual shipping. That's a big percentage for a counter-offer, but still more than the $32 max bid on the auction. Dearth
