I hope this is the right place to post these.
I've been a RABID collector of superhero, comics, books, and memorabilia for as long as I can remember (I have a double car garage LOADED with comics that I've been collecting since I was 5) and for all that time, my favorite book has always been THE LEGION!
Well ... for ages now, I've been wanting Mini Busts and Statues of the Legion ... but of course no one has ever seen fit to make them, so I decided to take the bull by the horns and design some myself ... I have a friend of mine that sculpts them for me ... let me know what you think !
Well here are the ones that I've managed to compete so far
WILDFIRE:
Wildfire is currently in casting, which is why he's still unpainted.
MON-EL:
I painted Mon-El myself ... I'm painting 2 more for some friends.
DAWNSTAR Mini Bust:
DAWNSTAR STATUE:
The Dawnstar sculpts are still being finalized, but they should be complete in a few more days.
The next pieces I'm going to have made are Karate Kid, Dream Girl and either Phantom Girl or Jeckie (I'm not sure which yet) .. then THE BIG THREE!!
These are just amazing! Really well done. I'm SO glad you're a Legion fan. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Please post updates as pieces get done, get painted, etc.
(Dream Girl's coming... oh man, what does my wallet look like?)

Well it's not entirely my work, I design them but my friend sculpts them ... he's the real talent.

These are gorgeous! DC Direct needs to hire you and your friend IMMEDIATELY. Monel is perfect. I hope you'll do more full body statues. I know of at least one Legion Worlder who'll be totally wet over the Dawnstar statue. Any guesses who?

Too bad Grey hasn't been around in awhile...

Well, since Capt. Cuckoo Bananas was on the boob tube tonight, I elected to lock myself up in my room and get some kits done ... I finally painted up another Mon-El for my collection and I think he came out even better than the first.
Now I just need to glue him together .. but I snapped a few pics before I did ...
I decided to tone down the gloss and shading and try something simpler with the base this time around.
And even though I know no one will ever see it, I'll know it's there ... SO ... (sorry but this one is kinda blurry)

These are all wonderful! They have so much movement in them, unlike the regular action figures. It's also interesting that many of the bases for the mini-busts are individualized.

Excellent work. I like the Lantern symbol for Kilowag's base.
What material does your friend sculpt with?
