[JSA]

This is one of the fine jewels in my collection, sculpted
and painted by the master himself, Mr. William Paquet.

Quotes from Mr. Paquet:

"That's my work, including the paint job. This is not the only copy, but it's the only one I painted."
"I offered it to DC more than once. They have shown no interest in producing it." (stupid fools) :stick:

Here is an unpainted view of the sculpt (a casting anyway)

That is one incredibly awesome piece to own.
I bought the Vampire kit (non-Batman version)
from William a couple of years ago.
many congrats on a grail sculpture for many a many (including me, LOL!)

[JSA]

Thank you Danno. I hope to add more of Mr. Paquet's
sculpting masterpieces to my collection in the future.

I still hope the people of DC wake up some day and produce some quality pieces like this again !

[rilynil]

This is simply one of the best superhero-related statues I've ever seen. :buttrock:

[Vader]

was there a bust made of this piece?

[AsOneDead]

Incredibly awesome, one of the coolest statues ever.

[William Paquet]

was there a bust made of this piece?

A friend sent me an ebay auction with a bust like it. Someone copied(not recast) my design as a bust.

It's pretty bad, and it ain't my work. My sculpt was never made publicly available.

[JACKermeister]

was there a bust made of this piece?

yup. i've seen it but not painted.

[William Paquet]

yup. i've seen it but not painted.

[Vader]

Hi William,

Did you ever sculpt any batman pieces or other pieces for DC while you were on contract that were not produced? Any pictures of pieces that we've never seen?

I hope you do another batman at some point. Your work on the clothing and the feel you give to your pieces is amazing!!

[Magdaddy]

Vampire Batman Fn Rocks!!!
I would buy it in a heartbeat, even an umpainted version & would love to paint it up myself...

[neomatrix99]
