Martin, does a radically different sculpt like this, mean all new paint masks for the factory? Can't wait for the first opaque vinyl painted Ojo with this head!
The honor goes to both Kiyoka and myself. Wasn't my idea to make a Zombie head, it was his. And he could not have come closer to nailing the sketch I did for it. I can't wait to paint one of these myself-- could be a while though! Lots of Ojos waiting to get done here already. As for future colors and if there will be masks, I have no idea as of now. I can ask though. M
I definitely feel like chasing that down but I would need the help of somebody attending the show... Martin, when are you coming in Europe ???
Hmm, if I actually had the money to pick up that painting, I would so take the short (compared to most) drive down there. Beautiful piece -- Zombies and bats, two great flavors that taste great together. The head definitely looks 10x better when not clear and missing paint. The details really shine through. When a painted one that I like inevitably comes out, I will be forced to pick it up (and try with all my might to fight my completionist desires).
So I asked Kiyoka and he said yes, paint masks are being made for this after all. To get a peek at how this might look, check out what Kiyoka's submitting into the Kaiju Invasion show next week: And to anyone interested, I have no idea how anyone can score this or the header art I did for it at the show.
Really nice! Just not of a big fan of Jade green. Absolutely love the bright green finger tips and hair details against the clear grey body!
Its already been said but i have to repeat it. That thing is f'ing sweet. Looks so dope painted. bring it on, my wallet is depleted but i will buy it anyways. haha.
That sculpt would have been a great Halloween release. I could totally see the face textures, when painted orange, appearing like a wrinkly, rotted pumpkin. That Kiyoka custom looks almost like it would fit in with the 07 S7 Halloween set.
No, Zombie deserves a rocker of a different kind, perhaps an Alice Cooper paint job to stay in the Glam arena?
