Hi All, First-a-lee: permission granted by toothaction to share this here. Hopefully tonight... maybe not 'til tomorrow night... worst case, Thursday night (life is stupid busy, per usual )... I will be putting up on my Instagram (linked at left) an auction of a 1/1 custom Mockbat. 100% of the final amount will go to RAICES. Will run it for 3 to 5 days; a verifiable record of the donation will be published, once I have received it from the organization. Hit me with any questions you have here or via PM. Let's get teaserly: See you there!
Deebs, all the colors were handled by the amazing Joe Dunaway, a freelance model and statue painter who handles many prototype/promo paint-ups for Sideshow. After I received it back from Joe, I added a good amount of additional shading and detail myself. As well, I handled the final clearcoating, selectively applying gloss and matte finishes to specific areas. Also, this 'bat is magnetized at the hands, mouth, belly, crotch, and feet. All of the belly blossoms, including Hellmock's head, are magnetically interchangeable, as are the tongues (he comes with four tongues; three of those are semi-translucent, and of those three, one is a fun lil' shorty- see below). Hellmock is also magnetized at the neck, hands, and base (and his base is flocked, on its underside). The magnets in the feet of Mockbat and in Hellmock's base are quite strong, so that you could, for example, use them to hold each other in place on either side of a glass display shelf (with one figure upside down, underneath) or even a thin wooden one.
@ungawa222 I don't really care for the mockbat, but the charity you picked seems particularly good given the current situation. I just set up a $10/month recurring donation for their LEAF fund, which is for providing legal representation for unaccompanied kids seeking asylum. They have a different fund to support the separated families, but i kinda think the family separation policy is going to backfire on Trump, but the parentless kids are going to keep coming year after year. I've lived in Texas for nearly 20 years now, and I've never been more disgusted with my elected leaders at the state level. They are 100% on board with this racist crap while spouting their "Christian" rhetoric at the same time. Thanks for doing the raffle, it's a great idea!
Well, then.... sorry, pals... did not get this up by last night. Rough week. Will be up by tomorrow (6/23) noon EST.
