Custom DC Universe Clayface figureby *Jin-Saotome

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Customized Toys

When it comes to Batman villains one stands out as my favorite and that's the shape-shifting Clayface. I've always thought he'd make a great build-a-figure and that's the look I was aiming for here. Clayface was made using a Green lantern Movie Masters Kilowog for the base body and a Spawn Desiccator for the head. Clayface's surface was almost completely sculpted over using Aves studio's Apoxie Sculpt (yes it comes in brown!) as were the hands and head. To get good clay folds start at the bottom and work up adding rings of sculpt around the body/limbs and smoothing them upwards. His clay mallet hand came from an Imaginext Clayface toy and his clay mace hand was made from a clear acrylic Christmas star ornament with sculpt around it.

Clayface's head is double ball jointed so he can look around in any position and his jaw opens thanks to the Desiccator head. This gives him a wide range of looks when attacking or just standing around looking menacing. To reduce paint rub I dabbed superglue on to the edge of a plastic baggie (it won't stick to ziplock baggie plastic) and wiped the raised surfaces down after painting then went back over with a base coat. Standing over nine inches tall Batman has a mighty foe to deal with, the villainous Clayface!

Best clayface figure yet!

Where did you get that Batman? I've been waiting for that to hit the stores forever.

Ebay, some Chinese sellers have him loose. I've yet to see him on the shelf because they cancelled the line before him and Kid Flash hit retail.

~Ebonyleopard Aug 16, 2012

Thanks for the advice. A pair of my own are on their way.

~Chainsaw-Munkey Aug 8, 2012

this is an amazing rendition. great additions to the figure, and just a freaking awesome sculpt job

Thank you

~Chainsaw-Munkey Aug 8, 2012

do you take custom orders or sell the ones you've made?

*Jin-Saotome Aug 11, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I just make one of a kind customs and put them up on Ebay each week.

~CanadianTimber Aug 7, 2012

This is mind-blowing. As with all your customs, the only way to tell that they are not wide release toys is that they are BETTER than what is released at retail!

Can I ask a question? Could you explain more of the super-glue tip? I have started playing with customs, and find that the rub points on a couple seem to ruin the figure for me. Could you let me know more about this trick? THANKS!

It's all in my Guides and Tutorials section of my site along with the other paint-rub tips: [link]
