“Nora...”
“I have failed you.... I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness, and pray you hear me somehow, someplace... someplace where a warm hand waits for mine. I shall always remember you: surrounded by winter, forever young, forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served... COLD.”

Mr Freeze is one of my all time favorite Batman villains! He's got such an interesting history behind him, and Paul Dini's re-imagining of Victor Fries holds some incredible merit, when he re-created such a tragic and beautiful character!
With the recent TLBM armor/helmet piece, I really wanted to do something I hadn't before! With so many great Mr Freeze Lairs here on flickr, inspiration was rich, but ultimately I strived to build my own version of the iconic setting! I suppose if anything, my aesthetic derived from Dustin Nguyen's illustrations of the character, and a little of Tim Lydy's stuff too :)
Really though, the minifig is what started this all off! Using only the finest ingredients, I feel like I've created the ultimate B:TAS Freeze, right down to the Sand-Purple gloves :P
It was key for me to get that figure right before anything else began!
FYI for you purist nuts:
TLBM Helmet/Armor
10737 Juniors Head
Galaxy Squad Torso
LBR Employee Arms, BL Item No: tls086
CMF Clockwork Robot Hips (Series 6)
Zam Wesell Sand-Purple Hands
(If you use it... Credit where credit is due...)
Anyway, I also wanted Batman to have some kind of heated/thermal suit so taking some influence from Dlyan's Telltale Batman from August last year flic.kr/p/KdmCvd I altered the design a bit and put a spin on it! :)
But with that said, Patreon has a whole bunch of extra content, including how I incorporated lighting into the build, obviously a closer look at the build itself, some alternate Batman suit ideas, and some other cool stuff too! A total of 12 images, with one more being uploaded tonight! :)
So go take a look at all that stuff because I don't want to type anything else! :P
