    "Regular People" Action Figures

    Why should only Superheroes and stars of box-office blockbusters reap the benefits of having their likeness cast in miniature? After years of being obsessed with all good things in little packages, on a whim I purchased some Sculpey clay and started sculpting action figures of some of my favorite people. 

     

    My "training" as a sculpturess is limited to playing with cheese wax as a child, and as you will see by some of the results - it shows! That said, I hope you enjoy discovering some "regular people" who I feel deserve to be immortalized as superhero action figures!
