Pop Sculpture: How to Create Action Figures and Collectible Statues Review: AWESOME! - I had this book on my "Wish List", hesitating because these guys are so obviously WAY AHEAD of me and I will never, ever catch up. I just started polymer a year ago and found myself gravitating towards sculpture, which I've never done before, and moving pretty fast on acquiring skills. But there is so much to learn...just like anything else. So the book kept drawing me in until I bought it. And I was so glad I finally gave in. First of all, the book's quality is top notch. The photos are large so detail can be studied at leisure. The color quality is great. The techniques are completely comprehensive...down to earth, easy to understand with loads of photos on procedure. Second, the writing style is great. You are put at ease from the first. The tone is laid back and full of wry humor (just my kind) but it is obvious these guys are SERIOUS artists, aside from their credentials, and that they totally enjoy their work and admire it and each others as well. Third, I appreciate the fact that they let you know the kind of mistakes they themselves have made. They certainly do not put themselves on a pedestal and, in poking fun at themselves, make the student feel at ease about making his/her own. The sense of comradery is totally evident. And, as a woman, I appreciate that a woman is included in the group and given extreme honor as to her position in the field. Fourth, there are chapters on doing business as an artist and even photographing your own work. I bought several books on desk top photography, etc. and they are all good. But this one was sweet and simple and pulled it all together for me. Fifth, even though each of these artists works a different medium and I only am doing polymer right now, I garnered invaluable information just by skimming thru the first time I opened it. Last, this book has become my main textbook for sculpture so far. The more I look and read the more I find. I seriously recommend it for anyone that aspires to be a master at this craft. You will enjoy it tremendously. Review: Best figure sculpting book ever! - I have been sculpting and making OOAK heads for a few years now and I wish this book had been written sooner. Of all the books in my library this is the only one to deal with Apoxie Sculpt, plastics, and resin casting in a strait forward way. They show you how to mold and cast but throw in important steps like making gates that other doll making books have glossed or skipped all together. This is the only book I have come across to deal with casting resins in a strait forward manner. This book leads you through the process of concept art, rough sculpt from several choices of sculpting materials, to wax casting, to resin casting and painting. Two figures are made, the static pose Athena and a jointed Thor. Step by step painting guides are shown with many clear photographs. This is not exactly a how-to book, it won't take you from no experience to producing a line of action figures over night. It will be less frustrating if you have some artistic experience and have done a bit of sculpting but I will recommend this book for artists, sculptors, and doll makers of all levels. Doll makers may want to pair this book with Learning To Be A Doll Artist this too starts with a static figure and covers wax casting but gets in to slightly different joint mechanics before porcelain casting. Between the two, and the Yoshida BJD book or at least the gist of that idea, you have the best books I've ever seen for creating your own models of people. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #228,778 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Sculpting Technique #113 in Popular Culture Antiques & Collectibles (Books) #125 in Toy Making | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (507) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.71 x 10.91 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0823095223 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0823095223 | | Item Weight | 2.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | October 19, 2010 | | Publisher | Watson-Guptill | ## Images ![Pop Sculpture: How to Create Action Figures and Collectible Statues - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Faka5MLJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME! *by A***O on April 13, 2013* I had this book on my "Wish List", hesitating because these guys are so obviously WAY AHEAD of me and I will never, ever catch up.

Not only does it cover the step-by-step processes in producing sculpts of figurines and action figures in a traditional way but there are interviews with artist in the business that give tips, advice, and highlights the differences with working with other sculptural media. Beyond that, it covers a little history of figurines and toys, how to produce figures for design to the painting stage, casting techniques, wax sculpture techniques, polymer clay techniques, the basics of sculpting with epoxy resin, discussions on 3D printing, and much more. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pop Sculpture: How to Create Action Figures and Collectible Statues - Beginner's Guide to Sculpting Characters in Clay - Clay Sculpting with the Shiflett Brothers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1652986-pop-sculpture-how-to-create-action-figures-and-collectible-statues](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1652986-pop-sculpture-how-to-create-action-figures-and-collectible-statues) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
