"1979 TV Captain America!" 2022 Action Figure! The Making of a Custom Figure and Card! Marvel!

 Back again with another cosplay scan and custom figure! This time I had the great folks at Shrunk 3D Upstate scan me in my "TV Captain America" cosplay (see it here), to create another "mini-me" statue! Click images below to enlarge!

Above: In the scanning booth! Since clear objects can't be properly
scanned, I had to ditch the visor, and slightly revise the shield!

Above images: The final printed figure! I had
to create and add a tiny clear helmet visor!

Above: I added a custom backing card for
displaying this custom "action figure!" Lots of fun!

Photo-bombed!

"70s Batman" 2022 Action Figure! The Making of a Custom Figure and Card! Cosplay Craziness!

 Along with a few other of my cosplays (seen here and here), I decided to also have my "70s Batman" cosplay scanned and made into a 3D mini-statue! Click below to follow along and enlarge pics!

Above: My actual "Bronze-Age Batman" cosplay! See more here!

Above: After the scanning of me in the suit, the 
wonderful Shrunk3D folks soon cobbled
up a detailed tiny "mini-me!" Looks great,
but I wanted to darken up those black areas...

Above: Time to use putty to mask off all the non-black
surfaces, then add a few coatings of gloss black
spray paint!

Above: That's better! Much more dramatic contrast!

I added a few paint touches to my mini-statue, such
as the gloss black areas, and an orange base!

Of course, I just had to create a custom card
as a display backer for the nifty new figure!

The "action figure" added to his custom card!
Very striking and bold! 

"1966 TV Batman" 2022 Action Figure! The Making of a Custom Card and Figure! Cosplay Hi-jinks!

 Once again, the wonderful folks at Shrunk3D have done it again! They've supplied me with a little statue of myself, suited up as "1966 TV Batman!" Follow along below, as I detail the making of this tiny titan, and how I created a custom "action figure" and card using the figure!

Above: Me as "'66 TV Batman!" See more here!

Above: After being scanned by the Shrunk3D team, I
soon received this detailed sculpture! I knew I wanted 
the blue portions to better reflect the true sheen and
depth of the cosplay outfit, so...

Using putty, I masked off the non-blue areas of the sculpt, then
came in with some metallic blue paint applications...

Now we're talking! I added a proper chest emblem, some clear 
gloss touches, and soon this one-of-a-kind "Adam West Batman"
was ready to go!

Above: What better way to display this little figure than 
with his own custom card, re-imagining it as a newly-
offered action figure?

The figure really "pops" when displayed with this dynamic card backing!

Sensational Spidey Statue! A Superhero Gets Small! Custom Cosplay Hi-jinks!

After a few years of cosplaying as "classic comics Spider-Man" (see that here), I decided to have the character and cosplay professionally scanned and converted into a 3D statue! Click below to enlarge images and learn more!

The 3D statue, scanned and created by the folks at Shrunk 3D!

The scanning process took literally 3 seconds, as the Shrunk 3D folks
use a large array of cameras to scan you, and use that "mapping"
to later sculpt the final statue! No problem keeping a pose for that 
short amount of time!

It's a very odd sensation to look at yourself (and the  cosplay
you put so much work into) in this form. 

The final statue stands around 9 inches tall, and is very detailed!
It has the feel and look of a classic Aurora superhero model kit!
