LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2010

[JediMike71]

Okay, I promised Les that I would show pictures of it once I got it together. Here it is! My custom Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent figure with an incredible head sculpt from Les! Thanks also go out to board member "seniram6" for the great Triad gray suit, and the Hot Toys TrueType body. Les also sent me a 1:6 scale Daily Planet newspaper! Perfect for Clark to carry around with him.

Thanks again SO much Les! Now, my Christopher Reeve 1:6 scale figure set is half complete. The other half is still to come! I don't care if Hot Toys makes their own Reeve Superman. I've already got one coming from Les that will be just as good...if not BETTER than anything Hot Toys could ever do!

That Kent head looks great! Congrats Mike

 

[JediMike71]

Thanks! I'm VERY proud of it, and of Les for his incredible work on the head sculpt! I think the suit works well for Clark. Not his traditional dark blue, or black suit, but it's still pretty cool. Plus it's nice that the suit is on a Hot Toys TrueType body too! I just wanted to get some quick pictures in of it to show everyone. I added more pictures tonight. I glued the neck onto the HT TT neck post today, and the figure really looks GREAT! It will be awesome to stand him next to my Reeve Superman someday soon from Les! I can't wait!

A quick update to show everyone. I got this awesome custom head sculpt of the younger Obi-Wan "padawan" Kenobi in a trade recently with My Lord. The sculpt is by "sunohc" (Daniel Choe) and is incredible. One of the first sculpts I've wanted from him for years, and it's even painted by Les! That makes it even MORE awesome! Here's a few pictures of it. My Lord even sent me two 1:6 scale bodies to choose to mount the head on, and a nearly complete custom Ep. I Obi-Wan jedi outfit! Check it out!

Next to his master, Qui-Gon Jinn...

Another masterpiece from the combined team of sunohc, and Les Walker! I'm SO proud to own this one now! I've wanted it for a long time, and it literally fell into my lap with the trade with My Lord, for trading my HT Apollo Creed with him.

Looks good Mike, that sculpt made quite the splash when it first showed up. Still the best Ep1 Obi out there

 

[abake]

That is an awesome sculpt!
Congratulations dude.

 

[JediMike71]

Yeah, it sure is an awesome sculpt from Daniel, and so is Les Walker's painting on it! It truly is the BEST head sculpt for the younger Obi-Wan I have ever seen! I challenge Sideshow to do better. I doubt that they can. Here's a few more I took tonight with the hooded jedi cloak on him.

I know you'd appreciate this one too Les! My custom Clark Kent Christopher Reeve figure next to the original 1978 MEGO Superman! I'll be replacing the MEGO Superman with the Reeve Superman from you soon.
