I just realized last night that I have not featured one of these wonderful Model kits in awhile so here we GO! Shown here, for your viewing pleasure, is this extremely beautiful Vinyl Model Kit of THE PENGUIN made by our good friend SKINNYBIRD. Of course it's the "Danny DeVito version" from Tim Burton's Classic 1992 Film BATMAN RETURNS. One photo is a full-body shot where you see the whole thing but the magic really happens in the other photo that is a close-up of the character's face. I think he did an amazing job on the painting of the face. Actually, the whole thing is painted extremely well, but with these kind of model kits of actual real-life people you really gotta do a good job on the face or they just don't work. This one does, looks just like the actor...NICE! If you're new to the Bat-Blog then I guess I need to explain that we have been posting a few of these Batman Models every now & then. A Good Friend to the Bat-Blog, nicknamed "Skinnybird", sent us some great pics awhile back of all the Batman Model kits he has built. To view all the ones posted so far just look down below this post for the LABEL word "Skinnybird" & click on that. It will open all the posts related to his artwork. Last, but not least, I wanna thank Skinnybird for sending these & invite all other creative readers to do the same! Your pics don't have to be models but can be any kind of Batman-related thing, thanks!
For awhile now we have been featuring some awesome Batman Vinyl Model Kits made by our good friend known as SKINNYBIRD. He sent us some nice pics of his personal collection of models he has built & painted. Every now & then we feature one and the cool thing is that they're always very popular. Now, here's the one he did of TWO-FACE from the BATMAN FOREVER movie ( 1995 ). Of course he was played by Tommy Lee Jones. OK, to be honest, this is one of my least liked Batman films. It was really really bad & practically ruined the franchise. But I don't want that to take away from the fact that Skinnybird did an incredible job on this model kit. Just check it out, the paint job is extremely well done & I like the custom base he made too. If you look at TWO-FACE's Double-Sided Jacket it a ton of detail to it, with the animal print patterns, that must have taken forever to paint ( Get it? "forever", Sorry, bad joke ). Before I go I wanna say three things: 1. I wanna thank Skinnybird for sharing his pics with us, all the models are great & I love sharing them. 2. OK, I know that some people just totally love this movie. It might have been their 1st introduction to the Batman Universe & I totally respect that. So, please just take my comments about this being a crappy film with a grain of salt. It's actually worth viewing as a part of Bat-History. Also, if you go into with a certain attitude, it's really not that bad & can be kind of enjoyable. 3. If you would like to see more of Skinnybird's work then just click on the word "skinnybird" in the Labels Area down below. Also, look for more kits in the future.
OK, it's been a little while so I think it's time to post another SKINNYBIRD Model Kit! Ooohhh Yeah! Readers new to the Bat-Blog need to know that we have been publishing a few photos lately of some wonderful Batman Vinyl Model Kits done by a friend named Skinnybird. This is the 3rd so far & if ya wanna see the others then just click on the word "skinnybird" in the lower "Labels" area. Also, the larger picture you see, is Desktop Wallpaper! But this one is the CATWOMAN Figure from BATMAN RETURNS ( 1992 ). It's from the 2nd movie with Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle & Danny Devito as the Penguin. I thought her performance in this movie was about the only thing that saved it, ha ha! She was totally GREAT! Plus her tight black leather costume didn't hurt things at all. I think that Skinnybird did an amazing job on this model kit too. I know I thank him on every post I do of his work but I do appreciate it. People have written-in that they really love these kits & had them a long time ago. That they "bring back memories"...that's pretty awesome to me, so thanks. If there are more Bat-Blog Readers out there who are creative in any way: drawing, painting, sculpture, Crafts, Custom Toys, etc... then please shoot us a photo today!
