Custom Corner: Davy Jones

Custom Corner: Davy Jones

Drink up, me hearties, yo ho! From the deep abyss of the sea comes the tentacled captain himself. Davy Jones, Lord of the Locker, Captain of the Flying Dutchman, Commander of the Kraken, now stands here in POP form, created by Chan Lay of Phantasy Customs Online. Detail is the name of the game with this POP, from his barnacle-covered clothes to the jacket arm hanging off his shoulder behind his clawed pincer of a hand.

When Lay saw the preview pictures of Funko’s officially released Cthulu POP, he immediately knew that it should be turned into Davy Jones. After meticulously researching every angle of the Davy Jones character, Lay set about the task of sculpting and piecing his POP together, discarding pieces that weren’t needed, sculpting replacement bits, each piece sculpted separately for ease of painting later and as accurately as possible to the original character. Multiple layers of paint – a combination of airbrushing and hand painting – finish it off, bringing with it the familiar rustic, sea-weathered skin of this fearsome captain.

Lay has created a POP that could have stepped straight out from the movie screen. His unparalleled attention to detail has resulted in an impeccable combination between the calculated coldness of the sea ruler Davy Jones has become and the stylized figures we all love and adore, a veritable masterpiece ready to join the sea of our collections. Just be careful he doesn’t ask you to join his crew, instead!
