When I was trawling through the categories for NJC50, I kept going back to 'Rogues of the Dark Knight'. I have been a little disappointed that Mattel haven't seen fit to make Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot in the DCIH range, so #50 was the perfect excuse to get one done. I already had the parts I needed to make The Joker and The Riddler, but I also wanted to make one of Batman's more unusual villians. I was going through my parts box, and found a headless Dr Henry Jones figure and immediately thought of Arnold Wesker, The Ventriloquist. One quick trip to TRU to secure a mini Terminator Salvation figure for Scarface, and I was ready to go. That just left Oswald. I nearly went the same route that Chief took with his, but then I remembered that I had a Legacy Rancor Keeper that I had bought for a custom and found that it wasn't suitable for what i had in mind. After a quick trawl through Rebelscum to look for arms, I went with the ones off a Legacy Bail Organa. They were slightly long, but I felt that suited the character perfectly. That only left the head. Complete headache, until I remembered a figure I had unearthed from an old toy box up in the attic. A Mego Comic Action Hero Peguin. Remember those from the 1970s? Out came the silicone and his head was cast. One awful lot of sculpting with green stuff and black milliput later and the shirt, waistcoat and jacket were ready.

There is a figure in 1:12 scale, but not in 1:18 scale which is the scale I always work in.

 

As for the Ventriloquist being called Scarface:
