Just wondering what you guys are doing for Avengers sculptures. The movie just came out, and kids are constantly asking me for Avengers Sculptures. The Qualatex Marvel assortment has the Hulk an Ironman for 5" round imprints, but nothing for Capt. America or Thor. Luckily, my good friend David Brenion has some amazing sculptures for when you have a few minutes to make something cool. I've made a bunch of these this weekend, and people are really diggin' them! They can even be scaled back for line work, only taking a couple minutes to assemble. For anyone interested, you can download them online, which is great--no waiting for a DVD to arrive through the mail!

Any other cool ideas for making the Avengers?

You can take ken stillmans super heroes and pretty much make anyone for those or was this just suppose to be an advertisement for david's stuff
there are other basic bodies you can use to come close as well

Ken's super heroes are great. I sometimes simplify the body when I don't have time to make the full detailed version. Also, depending on the situation, I'll sometimes make just the head and put it on a bracelet base, which still makes kids happy. For anyone who doesn't have a copy, be sure to pick one up! T Myers currently has them in stock:

Having fun with David Brenions super hero costumes. Check out the videos at www.animal-balloons.com. If it wasn't for the hand they would be really quick.

Love the supersuits. I don't carry a 16" Geo Donut, but a White 660 works great for the center of Captain America's shield on there. Finding that out helped immensely!
