Destiny of the Endless

Destiny is the oldest and the tallest of the Endless.


It might seem like an easy task to make a figure in a brown cloak with a book chained to his wrist. I did want to make him the tallest of the endless figures. He stands in at around 14 inches tall.


I had the cloak made a few years ago, but I have been taking my time finding the right pieces to complete this figure.


Because Destiny is blind I found an unpainted resin head and I painted the flesh tones, but kept the eyes white with no cornea or pupils.


The book is hand made with a print out of leather pattern and bare metal foil matte aluminum.


Please note that the chain is an actual chain that I picked up when I worked in the craft business.

When I finish all of the endless, I will post group pictures here.

Netifer Lord of the Underweb

I have contributed a custom Munny to the Milk Munny Show. All the proceeds go to keep-a-breast.org. Check it the details here.

Here is more information on the charity keep-a-breast.

Here is the name card. On the back, I printed out some instructions on how to change his battery.

My contribution is a little 7 inch Munny that I call, Netifer. He is the Lord of the Underweb. More on his origins below.

Netifer has an crystal heart and eyes that can light up with the flick of a switch.


He is the nemesis of the technology god.

I was inspired by reading Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I read about a god of technology, and I thought that there should also be a techno devil.

Netifer is the demon who inspires the creation of computer viruses and technical glitches.


At best, he is annoying and can cause applications to crash and users to lose work due to computer failures and errors.

At his worst, Netifer likes to devour data and sometimes destroys hard drives completely.

He inspires hackers to write viruses and malware. He can be found lurking in jpgs, video files, phishing schemes and certain email attachments and links.

Netifer has an insidious way of surviving. Once a virus is patched, he becomes a hacker's inspiration to become another virus or worm. He can also hide out in spyware or corrupted preferences.

Although Netifer is a horrible little demon or devil, he is being sacrificed to a good cause.

Thanks to Red Hot Robot and Trevor of Acrylic Squid for putting on this show. If you will be in Arizona in October of 2010. You should try to catch the show and buy a Munny for a good cause.

Destruction of the Endless

Here he is the prodigal sibling. The one who left his post and his responsibilities.


Destruction of the Endless. Do not seek him because you just might find him.


This figure is a kit-bashed interpretation of Neil Gaiman's character from the end of the Sandman series.


This figure stands 13 inches tall and towers over most other 1/6 scale figures. I plan on customizing the rest of the endless. When I have completed these I will post a few family portraits.

Delirium of the Endless Kitbash


Delirium of the Endless. She used to be Delight but something happened to her that made her into Delirium. She is the youngest of the Endless.


My interpretation of the anthropomorphic personification of Delirium has the odd blue and green eyes and multicolored hair that Delirium exhibits in some of the later comics. I also chose to make her less of a hippy and bit more of a riot girl.


This figure is actually about 9 inches tall which makes her look considerably younger than the other Endless. I will post a group picture when I have enough of the Endless customized or kitbashed to do so.


Here is a view of the back of her head to show that there are actually many colors in her hair. My version also has a couple of random braids made from different colored strands of hair.


Here is a close up. I may add an eyebrow and ear piercing later on. Of the Endless, Delirium's appearance seems to change the most.

Death of the Endless Kitbash


I have a great appreciation for well written comics. One of my favorite is Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I decided to come up with my own custom Death figure in 1/6 scale.


The body is a Volks doll painted white. I also used various clothing from other figures that I had for the boots, pants and shirt. I found the Ankh at a bead store.


Here is her profile. Although Death's appearance changes slightly from chapter to chapter of the Sandman. It also changes depending on what time period she appears in. I tried to be as true to the comic as I could.


Here I have posed to the figure as if she were saying, "Take my hand."


My plans are to kit bash or customize a figure of Delirium. I think it would be great to someday have figures of all of the Endless in this scale.
