TMNT Mutant Mayhem POPs

FUNKO POP, 2023

It’s always great to get a chance to work on these lovable mutants I grew up with. I sculpted Leo, Don, and Raph as well as a Jumbo Leo (not shown in renders).

Groot

FUNKO POP COMIC COVER, 2022

Translating this comic cover was a lot of fun. The props, the textures, the pose, and Groot’s ability to stretch his limbs more than a standard Funko figure made this a unique Pop, and one of my favorite projects I got to sculpt for Funko.

Oroku Saki

Sculpt of Oroku Saki, better known as the Shredder, based on the IDW comics.

Pong Krell Captain Rex POPs

Pong Krell and Captain Rex 2 Pack, 2023

This was a challenging 2 pack of POPs to sculpt. I didn’t have a concept to go off of, I had to rely on scenes from Star Wars Clone Wars for reference. I also received a lot of input from the Star Wars POP concept artist as well as the art director for this license. The most challenging part was giving Pong Krell an action pose while holding two double-sided light sabers and making sure that fit with the depth of the 2 pack box. It was also quite a challenge to translate Pong Krell’s head design to the POP form.

Trapped Tink

Funko POP, 2023

It was quite an honor to commemorate such a memorable moment from one of Disney’s most iconic feature films. I was responsible for sculpting the body and the lantern. The head was reused from a previous Tinkerbell POP.

Star Wars Soda Figures

FUNKO SODAS, 2022

So stoked to have had the opportunity to sculpt these classic characters and help bring them to the Funko Soda line.

Ahsoka's Trooper POP

Ahsoka’s Trooper POP, 2023

This one was a lot of fun to pose and get the helmet design looking right.

Marrok

FUNKO POP, 2023

One of the figures I got to sculpt for the line of Funko POPs based on the Ahsoka Series on Disney+.

Bo Katan

FUNKO POP, 2023

1 of 2 Funko POPs I sculpted for the 2023 Mandolorian Mystery Box, which had a total of 4 figures. I was responsible for the body and pose. The head and some of the armor were re-used from a previous Bo Katan POP.

Leia

Funko POP, 2022

Batman #423

FUNKO POP COMIC COVER, 2021

Based on one of the most iconic Batman comic covers, this was one of the first sculpts I did for Funko that really broke the mold of the POPs I was used to doing, and it came with the added fun of problem solving how to break up that cape for production.

Creature From The Black Lagoon

SUPER 7, 2023

This 11” Universal Monsters Super Cyborg was sculpted for Super7 while I was at Mana Studios. I was responsible for sculpting the exterior of the Creature and all the internal parts were sculpted by another sculptor at Mana. All images by Super7.

Doc Ock BAS

FUNKO POP, 2023

Spongebob Ultimates

SUPER 7, 2023

This SpongeBob Ultimates figure was sculpted for Super7 while I was at Mana Studios. I was responsible for sculpting everything in this set except for Gary, Gary’s food bowl, and the jellyfish, which were handled by another sculptor.
