how tall is it anyway?

You and I must have read the same review. For the record the whip actually comes appart at the tip so he may be confused.

Actual height is about 5 3/4 inches. I'm assuming standard for a Figma, but not to proper scale to say, the SW Black Figures.

Thanks so much. They were all shaved down from a dense green foam that florists use to set flower displays that I found at the dollar store. It cuts like butter and can be shaped easily using any dull plastic tool or even your fingers.

Here is a pic of the non-painted skull:



The foam also take imprints really well, so I used a rock from my back yard to give it a natural look complete with cracks, weathered edges or chunks missing.

From there I painted using dollar store craft paint. Black base coat with multiple layers of browns, golds, greys, reds and silvers.

Micheal's had "craft" bushes that I used as moss and finally sprayed the whole thing down with a clear coat to make them shinny and sparkle more.

I'm not sure if I will do many more, but if I get board I may try to carve out a gargoyle for my Return of the Dark Knight Batman.
