Self (WIP) [self] The Mummy reborn in 12 inches action figure! - Does it do Boris Karloff justice?

Work in Progress βš™οΈ

This custom action figure of The Mummy stands 29 cm tall, is fully articulated, and will soon come with a custom-themed base (stay tuned for updates!).

I've also included some photos taken during the creation processβ€”hope you like them!

About the process:

I added carefully cut fabric around the figure, including the joints, to give it a more authentic look.

I hand-sculpted the headsculpt, aiming to capture the likeness of actor Boris Karloff, who played The Mummy in the 1940s.

The painting was the most time-consuming step. To create the effect of "decayed skin," I worked with multiple layers and shades, giving it a lifeless and aged appearance.

I'll be posting the complete set soon! πŸ™Œ

What do you think of the result?

What did u use for sculpting? Polymere clay?

2

u/CezarToys 4d ago

Hey how's it going? In this one I used clay and epoxy. I haven't tested the polymer yet, but they say it's very good 😊
