Mistress
Janeway
The lunacy began with Mistress Janeway and the incredible proliferation of Trek related action figures he was shelving at his day job in an upscale toy store in Santa Monica. They had all manner of Trek action figures with more on the way every day. Thus, inspiration struck. Using a figure that he felt had a similar physique to Janeway, Jared carved and scupled and painted it until he came up with a Mistress Janeway figure. But he wasn't satisfied with getting a close image. Not my Jared! He fahioned tiny accesories like those that come with the real action figures. In this case, there is a tiny chip, a flogger and a pair of handcuffs. And as a final touch, Jared altered the box of a Captain Janeway figure to insert a trading card based on the cover of the Secret Logs of Mistress Janeway. The affect is wonderful. At first glance, it looks like a figure issed by Playmates. The fiure is quite famous. it appeared in the documentary Trekkies. It has also been in the display case at the afore mentioned Santa Monica toy store. Upon seeing it, Brent Spiner is proported to have said, "She wishes!" This figure began a trend of interesting doll creations, and it remains my favorite. Currently in the collection of Mistress Nova. |
