I always wanted Mattel to make a proper Ra's Al Ghul Batman Begins figure, but they never did. I couldn't let that stand, so here I bring you Ra's Al Ghul in full League of Shadows ninja gear! Ra's al Ghul was made using a Star Wars the Black Series Episode 3 Obi-Wan Kenobi, the head from a Movie Masters Ra's Al Ghul, and the forearms from a Movie Masters Batman Begins Batman. I fused the Batman Begins forearms to Ra's arm, and used Aves Apoxie Sculpt to blend it in and fill in the gaps. I also added plating to the back of the hands (including the rivets!) with styrene. I replaced the lower cloak with fabric. The belt is made using strip styrene, with the belt buckle being fodder that happened to be perfectly movie accurate. Everything was repainted the dark brown of the costume from the movie, with the gauntlets dry brushed lightly for a metallic look. The head was also completely repainted, and I even sculpted in to remove that weird open mouth gap he had before. One katana later and Leauge of Shadows Ra's Al Ghul is ready to take down Batman and do all that is necessary to cleanse the world of corruption!

This custom is also currently for sale on eBay. You can find the link in the "Toys on EBay" section of these forums. Thanks for looking!
