One
of my favorite places on the web these days is Will's
Custom Batman Figures. The folks there got together and decided
they wanted to organize an exhibition. The inaugural event featured
Mr. Freeze, meaning the participants were asked to submit a version
of the character. I'm thrilled to say the boys came through with
flying colors. Click

For
my submission to the exhibition, I chose Freeze as he appeared in
the animated style comics. To my knowledge, he wore two, maybe three
suits that were original to the comic and didn't appear on the animated
program. I always enjoy when the comic writers can sneak in things
like that, expanding the universe a little.
The base is
the TNBA Mr. Freeze. (Spider Freeze.) I removed some details, and
sculpted new ones. The lines along the lower arms were added, matching
as best I could the existing etched lines along the upper arms.
The lines along the legs are simply painted. The red circle on the
chest is taken from an Aztek figure.
The design is
meant to be something of an amalgam of the BTAS and TNBA designs.
In the issue this suit appears, the colors appear to be green and
grey in the interior art, but black and blue on the cover. I compromised.
When I was done, I realized his colors look a bit like a Super-Powers
era Freeze. Wacky!
