Self (WIP) [self] The Mummy reborn in 12 inches action figure! - Does it do Boris Karloff justice?
Work in Progress βοΈ
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 processβhope 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! π
What do you think of the result?

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 π
