1989 Joker + 1992 Penguin Figures

I don't know if anyone here is interested in making me a 12 inch Batman 1989 film Joker figure and a 12 inch Batman Returns 1992 Penguin figure? I made a thread here:

I thought I would ask you guys here since this is the DC section.

Custom Workz would be one of the best places to ask. He is a member here and he makes awesome customs. He made me a '89 Keaton Batman and it is awesome.

I have sent him a PM. Does he come on here regularly? How much did he sell you the 89 Keaton Batman for?

I want hot toys to make me these personally...because they *intake of breath* are my number one....

Well Custom Workz will be able to make these for me.

I have asked Custom Workz to only make the DeVito Penguin figure, since the Joker figure he was going to make didn't come with checkered pants, hat etc. So I have bought the one on ebay:

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Batman-JOKER...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

and have asked whether he could make the DeVito figure to look like its screen accurate with umbrella.

Jon from Custom Workz have done some great custom job for me.
Keaton Batman and Batman Return, Kilmer Batman Forever and Clooney Batman. Batman rubber cowl can be remove to show Bruce Wayne head on some of them. Come with speargun for Keaton Batman, leather cape, 2 interchangeable heads, 2 1989 version batarangs and of cause the joint is articulated.(the arm and leg can be bend easily)

sorry the poor pic shown and it does not do justice for his work.


Next year is Batman 70 anniversary and 20 anniversary for the 1989 Batman Movie.
It will be great is Hot Toys make the
Micheal Keaton Batman
Jack Nicholson Joker or
maybe the 1989 Batmobile

I just received a complete set of Batman Returns figures from Jon at Custom Workz (Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin.) All three figures are really good - but the Penguin was AWESOME! The level of work and detail that Jon put into this figure was simply amazing - right down to the cigarette holder and flipper hands. You will not regret getting this figure!

I am new to this site and this whole forums thing, uh...how do I find this customworkz guy? and is his stuff expensive?

wohoooow AWSOME looking pictures!
although if Hot Toys were to set its mind to make a '89 batman that batman would look better I guess

but that batmobile, where did you get it at that scale? seems to be made from wood? still looks awsome though!

Gonna mail Hot Toys again with the question if they gonna make the '89 Batman - Batmobile

ps: was batman not created in 1939 and the first Keaton movie from '89, so isnt this year and not next year the 70th and 20th anniversary?

i love that penguin of yours, best sculpt yet. why don't you re-cast it before you sell it so you could still eventually sell more?

i copied these off custom workz's page...hope he doesn't mind

those looks fugly mate. No offense. Especially Keaton's mouth, and catwoman's suit.

Jon's awesome Batman...

People had been reporting that the reason that HT had spent so much money is because they got a Master License for the Batman franchise. Meaning they could go back and do the prior films. Its been speculated that they'll go back once finished with TDK and revisit the prior films like they have with the Predator license so it'll be interesting if all of that gets flushed out. It'll also be interesting to see what likenesses they'll be able to use since a lot of that is after the fact and the actor's likeness agreements if any may not still be on the books over at WB.

with those lips Keaton looks like Angelina Jolie

keatons got a kisser. i have this same one as our dark master "the coco bean" and its awesome!
