Bio: Sleeves the Clown

He’s called Sleeves for two reasons. The first is for the irony, since he never has sleeves on his clown suit. The second reason is because he always has a trick up his proverbial sleeve to help get him out of any situation.

Born with a boring name, to a boring family, he went on to go to a boring school, and get a boring job. Desperate for some excitement, Sleeves began playing practice jokes at the office. The jokes started small, but quickly escalated, and became an obsession, this lead to his firing. Out of work and angry that his humor wasn’t appreciated, Sleeves began dressing as a clown to make money… but not in the way you may think though. This clown started robbing banks. He targeted locations that had wooded areas near by, and would make his getaway on a dirt bike he had stashed in the woods. One day after one of his robberies, he ran into a group in the woods. This group were the Dreadnoks. And it wasn’t long before Sleeves was invited to join their group.

I'm not a fan of colorized figures for black and white films. So I was disappointed that there was going to be two NECA Dracula variants but only one was going to be in black and white. But after getting the black and white version, I quickly realized it would be pretty easy to convert the colorized figure to black and white with just a little paint, and using spare pieces from the black and white figure. I just painted the red cloth piece, and gold medallion around his neck, and painted the candle to get rid of the yellow/orange.

Worked on The Invisible Man as well, may have to paint the bandages though...
