I totally didn't recognize that!

Its uncanny how much it looks like Conroy if he were drawn by Timm.

Brilliant work, I may have to steal the recipe and make one myself if you don't mind me doing so?

I think a lot of people might like to have something like this honestly, I know as soon as I saw your work I was in absolute love with the idea.

Thats such a bittersweet story.  While yes you got to meet Batman himself, you felt really bad about it.  I'm actually working on (with some help from 37Customs) a celebrity custom.  If he is ever at a con in NY i'd probably bring it to give to him.

Good news! I heard from the man himself today! He was kind enough to send a quick message letting me know how much he enjoyed the figure. ("Blown away" were his words.) So despite the wacky day, the figure got to where it needed to be and was appreciated. Whew! I am so pleased!

My Kevin Conroy custom...


Great eye using the Riddler as the base, its uncanny how much this looks like Conroy if Timm drew him, thus leading me to believe maybe this is a nod to the man the myth the legend.

C1, seeing that photo makes me think I should have included a tiny convention lanyard around his neck.  ;)

Cas I'm so glad to hear.  Very nice of him to take the time to send you a message.  Very classy move on his part, and I'm glad for your sake he did so. 
Stand for Him or fall for anything.

Cooler than cool. It must've been a little nerve racking not knowing.

But honestly once he got a look at it how could he NOT respond.

It was an incredible figure and package!

So glad for you. And while a lanyard definitely would've been funny... you were celebrating the man who stood in the booth and voice acted the best Batman there ever will be, not the man who shows up at conventions... SO I think it's still perfect as it is!  ;D

great figure ... great story ... and complete with a happy ending.

You could always do a SDCC variant with lanyard and logo backdrop ... hehe
