Description

Like with my Nightwing and Firefly figures, I wanted to create a version of Mr. Freeze as he might look in a Nolanverse Batman movie.

With that in mind, I created a figure that reflected the traditional Freeze back-story, but had more of a real feel to it. In the design, I tried to keep the main character ideas in mind. I still envisioned him as a scientist who fell victim to a freak accident that dramatically lowered his body temperature and required him to don a suit to regulate his body temperature, as well as wielding a custom weapon to be used in his revenge against those who wronged him.

I did try to avoid some of the comic book designs, namely the typically heavily armored/futuristic suit, the fish bowl helmet and the chalk white skin.

In the case of his suit, I wanted a more realistic, but still formidable suit. This is Freeze's lifeline and the thing that keeps him going, but it's also a real world concept. It needed to look like a containment suit as well as something armored enough for combat but also homemade and realistic. I also chose to avoid the fish bowl helmet because I felt it was too unrealistic, rather, I left his head exposed aside from the goggles (with the inference that the suit allows his head to be exposed without facing any major body temperature loss or damage).

I chose to make his skin color a light shade of grey with spots of tan, as well as giving him white hair. To me, the classic chalk white skin and bald head looks way too 'mad scientist'. I wanted to show that this was a normal man who was in an accident. His hair is white and his skin is a light grey to reflect his body temp change. I left the tan spots because I felt like it humanized him more-you kind of got a look into how dramatic he appearance has changed while seeing how he used to be.

Grey bodysuit, boots and gun are from a 12 inch Final Fantasy figure and the armor pieces were cobbled together from various parts in the fodder bin.
