My favourite musical is The Phantom of the Opera, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe. I made a custom action figure of the Phantom, based on his appearance in the musical, five years ago. Something I was intimidated by at the time was creating an unmasked head featuring the Phantom's deformity, a key element to his character. I finally decided to take on the challenge of making an unmasked head with an approximation of the deformity originally designed by makeup artist Christopher Tucker.

I had originally wanted to use Morlun as a base, but then decided to use the less bulky young Nick Fury as a base, using Morlun's jacket. I sculpted on the front of the shirt and the bowtie. The unmasked head is heavily modified from a movie Young Magneto, while the masked head is a cast of that same head that had been sculpted over. The hands are from movie Professor X. Thanks for looking and helping me make the music of the night!
