Custom Action Figures - 6" Dick Tracy, Pruneface, and The Brow

Several years ago, a company called Shocker Toys released a 6" action figure of Dick Tracy as part of their Indie Spotlight line of toys. I did not get one at the time, and they now command a hefty price on the secondary market. Additionally, I wasn't especially fond of the sculpt of Tracy's face.

So, I decided to make my own. I found some DC Multiverse Joker figures of him in a black suit that were deeply discounted, and I made molds of the heads of the several figures from Mezco's Dick Tracy Mez-Its, since they're in roughly the same scale.

Admittedly, there's not much unique about each figure, which is one of the problems of having a Dick Tracy toy line. It's mostly just guys in suits.

I have plans to make Flattop and Sam Catchem, but those will require a different base figure. I might also make a removable hat for Tracy, and maybe an alternate version in his overcoat.

Here's Tracy next to the original figure:

"So, who has the best Rogues' Gallery?"
