Okay, this isn't Batman related, but who doesn't love the GL anyway? The backstory: WHAT IF... instead of discovering the doors to the other Holidays on that one legendary Halloween Jack Skellington in his search for something more to life had stumbled upon the crashed ship of Abin Sur?! Despite his spooky exterior Jack has a creative mind and pure heart, so the Green Lantern's ring took to him right away... but can a Skeleton be a superhero?! After all who wants to be saved by someone more terrifying then the supervillians they're fighting! His mask is sculpted over his existing face, and needs to be repainted Green Lanterns can endow others with their power right? eh, let's pretend they can so side-kick Zero makes sense... also there's the Power Battery (which is waaaaay to heavy for Jack to hold) ...if you want a spooky Batman related custom though, here's something I've been working on that won't be finished for awhile: what's scary about this Mr.Freeze?! Let's hit the lights and see SPOOKY!

Dr. Baghead, is that the new NECA Jack figure? If so, I didn't think they'd been released. Where did you find him?!
Thanks,
Casimir

Yes it is, Found him at Hot Topic the yesterday (if your local Hot Topic is like the one in my mall the figures will be the middle of their NBXM display surrounded by clothing and lightbulbs rather then with the other figures)

Excellent. Thanks for the heads up.
I realize this question is off Bat-topic, but have you seen Invader Zim figures at Hot Topic yet?
By the way, I really like the GL-Jack. Very clever and creative. That's what I like to see in customs.

I always love a unique take on the DCU,very creative Dr B.He looks great! Also loving your treatment of Mr Freeze,that must have taken a hell of an effort.

KILLER FREEZE!!! that eery bluish glow really adds life to the figure...
and your GL jack is great (especially w/his pumpkin battery)... jack would definately make a GL like no other...
and is that a psycho bison i see back there? or maybe freeze just put him on ice... ;D

[glow=blue,2,300]Very cool Doc. That Freeze is 100x better, and GL Jack is a welcome addtion to the Coprs as far as I'm concerned. [/glow]

I haven't seen the Zim figures yet (but then again I rarely go into Hot Topic since it's VERY tiny and VERY cluttered) have they even been released?
I'm glad to see Jack has been welcomed into the Corp. (I forgot to mention in the orginal post but his whole reason for existing is my love of bad puns... when trying to think of a good Elseworld title I came up with "Jack A Lantern?!"
and yes, those are ML Colosus arms on Freeze... right now he's in the early stages of getting an upgrade to blend in with the HUSH figures better (I was tired of him being shorter then Ivy)
The trick to giving Freeze a light up feature is simple... get a "squeeze-light" key chain (a blue one... unless you want a red or green Freeze, which could be cool if you want a "broken dome" Freeze like in that awful movie) the "guts" are small enough to fit Freeze's torso if you remove his neck turning mechanism. but if you don't want to do that the bulb is small enough you can fit into Freeze's Torso without much damage needing to be done.

Doc, Zim figs are not yet out to my knowledge, but the ones that Hot Topic will get are a different set from the ones comics shops will get. (And I rarely go into Hot Topic either, unless it's for stuff like this.)
Now back to your regularly scheduled praise of all things custom.

How much are the NBX figures at Hot topic?
Your customs look really good. I love the Freeze.
