The design and concept for Eye-Lash was created completely by Joe Martin. He had entered it into the 2012 Masters of the Universe Classics Create-A-Character Contest. Sadly it did not win, so he came to me to realize his creation in action figure form. I used a Masters of the Universe Classics Catra as the base. I had to resculpt the head, giving her the giant single eyeball and sculpting her hair and fusing it with hair from a movie Invisible Woman figure. For the actual eyelashes, I actually used a pair of fake eyelashes carefully glued into place and trimmed to fit. The hands are Catra’s hands combined with the fingers from a NECA Aliens Xenomorph. Each finger also has a bendable wire so they’re fully poseable! The eyeballs all over her body are made from small beads. Her choker, and the emblems on her gauntlets and boots are made from styrene. The whip is made from the handle of an axe in my fodder bin, and all 9 of the whips are thick fabric thread knotted at the end with beads attached to each painted to look like eyeballs. Everything was painted using Mr. Martin’s design as my guide, and that’s it! Eye-Lash is ready to fight for the Evil Horde, and a very fond Masters of the Universe fan is made happy. Check my website for lots more pics and a full bio written up by Joe Martin himself.


















Thanks for looking!

Nice work on the custom, but she looks a little too creepy for a MOTU character. She'd make a great date for Argus, though.

I dunno, I don't think she's any creepier than Hordak, Leech, or Modulok.

I don't mean creepy as in scary or horrific, I mean creepy as in unsettling (an "uncanny valley" kind of thing). I think it's the copious amounts of eyeballs - especially the eye-fingers. But it could just be me.

Modulok just reminds me of various D&D/Fantasy demons, Hordak looks like a vampire doing 70's shock rock, and Leech's gimmick keeps me from taking him seriously.

I can certainly see how it can be a tad unsettling, but when this was brought to me I just had to do it. Definitely feels like one those old school MOTU designs that didn't quite make it past the design phase for whatever reason.

Don't get me wrong - I think it's fantastic that you made her. Her design just looks off to me. Like a grinning Teddy Bear with mouthful of fangs.

This is fantastic! I love her accessories, and big eyelashes. Great character concept.
