Title: "Gentlemen! Let's broaden our minds....."
Post by: PJ on Thu, 20 Aug 2009, 20:44
Last Halloween my son and I dressed up as 89 Batman and Joker. I had a blast, but I only had a partial costume. So I decided to get one custom made.

It still needs some finishing touches, there's two too many buttons on the tailcoat at present and the pants are the wrong colour, but otherwise I'm pretty pleased so far.

What do you think?

"Nice outfit."

But in all seriousness, did you wear the make-up when you went out?

Excellent! I'd be interested to see what you'd look like in the "Museum Costume" with the flesh colored makeup on.

Exellent i thought the costume you had last year was great, But you just keep out doing yourself lol. I wanted to go as Joker but all i coud get was Heath Ledger Joker costumes which are overdone so i went as Snake Plissken.

It was all completely tailor made. I do have a couple of test tailcoats up for sale if you're interested.

Thanks for all the comments chaps. Revisiting the makeup is next on the agenda

If you need a hand, I've made quite a few Costumes over the years. (I sculpted the cowl I'm wearing in my avatar). Once I'm finished with the Joker, I'll be starting on a  Batman Returns Catwoman display.

You might like this. This the original Catwoman mask that I'm restoring. I'll be moulding it and making a copy to use in my display.

Post by: PJ on Fri, 21 Aug 2009, 21:02
Yes, kind of derailed my own topic there.  ;D

The mask was made for production but rejected due to the flaws in the ears. Likewise with my 89 cowl. I've been meaning to upload pictures of them onto the site.

Post by: Paul (ral) on Fri, 21 Aug 2009, 21:19

I cannot wait to try on your 89 cowl man! I wish I knew about your cowl a lot sooner! Say, can you tell me what size it is?
My BD 89 can fit up to a 24 head. Can someone say "Bonks Adventure"?? lol.

Though I love it to bits, I would reeeeaally like a chance with a smaller more form fitting unit on my head. And I have my piercing fixation on yours now.  ;D

BTW, your Joker outfit is perfect! And you can freak me out to death with that psychotic stare hahaha.   

PS. do you think that cowl  inferno has is an RD? Sure looks like it. Then again, so does yours. 

Well you keep rockin "yur' ratha' smashin' productions, my British friend" <-- (that was my lame ass attempt at a British accent) lol
